[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks these are just terrible? My child has two loving parents and we would absolutely go to these types of events to be there .. but I feel awful for the kids who do not have two parents who can attend. What if dad is in the military and deployed (We live in a very military heavy area, so this is a very real issue at our school)? What if mom works and can't attend? Or God forbid one of the parents have passed away, or lives far away because of a divorce?

These things just really, really, really rub me the wrong way.. especially with little kids. Why can't it be muffins with special friends or something like that?[/quote]

I live in a base town. The invitation always says that you can bring anyone you like.  If Dad isn't available, Mom or Grandpa or Uncle Steve can come. [/quote]

But, but, I don't have an Uncle Steve, just an Uncle Scott and Aunt Belinda!  Can they come?  All of the demands to include everyone just becomes maddening.

French Fries with Foster Parents!  Waffles with Widows!  Hush puppies with Home-Based Caregivers.  [/quote]

No, no, no - only those kids with an Uncle Steve are included. However, I am totally showing up on French Fries with Foster Parents day! [/quote]
