[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a widow with a child in elementary school. Last year, his teacher told the class to thank the father, uncle or grand father. It worked out fine. OP, I'm not sure why you are stressing out. But your DC will pick up on that. It's should be an uneventful school event. An artificial one made up by the greeting card industry. :) [/quote] I can't guess why OP is stressing out, but it may be because not all teachers handle it with the grace that your child's teacher showed. It doesn't have to be a big deal, but if a teacher doesn't spell it out, not all kids will assume its ok to thank an uncle or grandfather. Also, OP may not have had other male figures in the kid's lives. If the teacher lets the kids now it doesn't have to go to a dad, no big deal, it will be fine. But i think OP just wants to be sure that the teacher does make that allowance or gives out instructions that don't make her kid feel left out. [/quote]
