[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid school insists on celebrating Father's Day. Dd has heard from dad in over a year.
She's 5. What do I say? Do?
The school activity is set.[/quote]

Tough.  Mother's Day is also celebrated and there are children without mothers.  It doesn't matter.  Other children have a right to celebrate and honor their mother and father even if there are other kids without a mother or father.

Wow, you're awful.[/quote]

I would not have posted this, but it definitely did rub me the wrong way that OP called the school stupid for celebrating Father's Day. This is a tough situation for her, but the alternative of having no kids celebrate their fathers to avoid it strikes me as an awful choice.[/quote]
Op here. I don't think they should deal with any holidays. Not mothers, fathers, Christmas etc...it is a nondenominational school.
And Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's, sweetest, grandparents etc are bullshit-op[/quote]

Holidays are an important and special part of our American heritage.  Celebrate them all.

Don't be bitter OP. It does your child no good.[/quote]

I don't find OP's comments to be bitter. She's raising her child and having this irrelevant (to her?) holiday forced upon her. She shouldn't have to make her daughter sit through this and she shouldn't have to send in a surrogate male. Truthfully I would be find doing away with all holiday celebrations at school or making them super general like 'winter party' etc. Why exclude?[/quote]
