[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Does everything that parents do have to be something that defines them and makes them a "type" of parent? [/b] "Parking lot parents" "daycare parents" "working parents" "private school mom" "public school moms." Someone sitting in her car during a practice is just a mom sitting in her car for a variety of reasons. Do we really need to call her a "parking lot mom"? [/quote] This is Washington DC. Here, we put people into different baskets. We separate people by race. We define them by employment. We categorize them by “SES.” We divide them by BIPOC or merely white. We need to know: LGTBQIA++ or not? (or an ally?). No surprise then, parents are helicopter, or tiger, or lawnmower, or Bro Dad, or absent. To answer your question: yes: here in the DMV, we will label you. Now answer the question: are you a parking lot parent or not?[/quote]
