Apparently (no pun inteneded) missing a father is much easier to accept than missing this dance. Smh.

No Uncle available? Why can’t people keep this nice once a year dance alone and keep it as designed. It is not the daughter single mother dance. If you want that then have that the next dance in a month or so.

I’m surprised the PTO didn’t cave.

Nope, I guessed wrong based on the name. Although the picture isn't particularly surprising.

It is called father-daughtet dance, not out-of-wedlock-badtard-child-and-slut-single-mother-who-could-not keep-her-legs-closed dance.

Before anyone calls it insensitive, it is. Still true, though.

You know I realize some kids may not have a parent, that may be be because of death. Is it not possible for an uncle or grandfather to take them?

I am a single mother.

No “father” in the picture.

On every Fathers Day, my daughter participated in the occasion at school and church, by making a gift for her Grandfather or Uncle.
No explanation needed, or special consideration required.

There wasn't a school sponsored Father/Daughter dance, but if there had been one, and had she wanted to attend, there were plenty of men available in my circle of friends, who would have happily stepped up to escort her in lieu of a father.
No different than any other child whose father was deceased, or otherwise unavailable to attend the function.

IMNSHO, this insane PC crap needs to end.

What happens with a Mother/Son picnic, if a mother has no sons, or a son's mother is deceased or otherwise unavailable to attend?

Does the whole event get cancelled or turned into a mockery?

Article doesn’t give much backstory, other than “her dad is not in her life.” Dead, jail, one-nighter, turkey-baster? Mom looks like a real piece of work, too.

Coming from a part of the country where father-daughter dances are unheard of, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea. It just seems a bit of—as it would holding a mother-son mock wedding.
