And it's not that there haven't sometimes been questions, but I love that kids there don't bat an eyelash (or even get there might be any reason to) when they talk about X's two moms, etc.
In short, we love our DC's school (though for lots of reasons that go way beyond its inclusiveness too). And as far as we can tell, the feeling seems mutual enough.
PS: Look for our contingent at Pride this weekend! (Bless the straight folks who always seem to step up to organize the school's participation.)
Another Ross family here (although straight) and we will be proudly wearing our Ross t-shirts and marching in the parade on Saturday!

We are a two-mom family at Mundo Verde. We haven't had any issues. At the beginning of the year, some of the kids would say, you have two moms. And our kid would say, yeah, I do. And that would be that. And the teachers in our kid's class talk about different kinds of families. Don't know how widespread that is but we have never had a second look.
I do think it is an important question because I did feel really out there at some of the open houses we attended. Asking if there were other SS families there and getting a blank stare--no thanks. This was a couple of years ago so I won't out them in case they have pulled it together or I misread the situation!

Two Dad family at Oyster. Agree with the prior post that says this is one area the school gets right. We are very happy there and feel most welcome. We are also thrilled with the school on other dimensions too, especially academically. Our prior experience at MV was equally positive. The heads of both schools take diversity seriously. I feel very lucky that our DS has been in such good environments.

Not PP, but...I really don't want to see anyone kissing at school, I don't care how your family came together.
NP here. ok, I will promise no kisses, but you promise no hard sex on the playground. I really don't care how your family came together.
What are you talking about?

+1. We're a mom-dad family, but are friendly with several same-sex couples. It's a non-issue as far as I know.
