The link wont open for me but I wont let that stop me.
I could not agree more.
No one wants to hurt a little girls feelings but sorry life often is unkind and you cant protect the little girl from the reality that she does not have a father at home.
Lets face facts. Liberalism has brought us to this place in history where fathers are optional. Fathers are an afterthought. What was it that the Feminist used to say: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle?
If the girl cant get a date the girl cant get a date. She had better get used to it.
If mom couldnt find her a fatherly type to be her daughters date she should just keep her daughter home and contemplate the choices she made to bring her to this point. Perhaps she made all the right choices. If so she can explain to her daughter why her daddy isnt there to take her to the dance.
But what I suspect is that she has been avoiding taking responsibility for her choices and is going to make the school the scape goat for her childs hurt feelings.
Maybe she wants to go 'shoppping' with all those dads there...
