[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but kids with Dads deserve that special bond and special moments. They shouldn't just stop doing these dances because a small portion of kids don't have Dads. My daughter is getting ready to go a Mother/Daughter tea a few weeks before graduation. Should we cancel that because a few kids don't have moms? [/quote] Yes they should, and yes, you should cancel the event. It's exclusionary and insensitive. Stop for a moment and think about the kids who don't have a mom or don't have a dad. Jackie's mom died, but she should just watch all the other girls go to the event with their moms and suck it up. Nora's dad walked out when she was three. Ava has two moms and she's cool with that but she's seven and she'd love to go to the party, but Uncle Jack isn't her dad and the other kids are teasing her about that. I don't get why all this stuff has to arbitrarily specify the gender of the caregiver when it's (a) unnecessary and (b) mean.[/quote]
