The reason for the father-daughter dance isn’t explained in the article, but in other cases where I’ve heard of these events, the stated purpose is to strengthen/highlight the father-daughter relationship.
That seems a legitimate purpose, though 6-year-olds may be a little young the “dance” part. Daddy-daughter teams making a Christmas ornament or a bird feeder might be better,
Amen.
Rash judgment of this particular women, PLUS dismissive, sexist language. Don’t call men “dicks” just as you don’t call women “cunts.”
Wow.. How bitter. Let’s just blame the CHILD for the circumstances of her birth, and make life as difficult for her as possible!
Do we have an ignore function on this board?
A whore is a commercial sex worker. A.k.a. prostitute.
There's no indication or evidence that this woman's a whore. Not in the article. Maybe in your mind.

There have been some very strange conclusions reached in this thread——all because of a mother,a child,and a dance.
I would want to add, too, that I was raised never to call a child born out of wedlock a “bastard”. “There are no illegitimate children,” Sr. Mary Rita told me, “although there ARE illegitimate mothers and fathers.”
The words “bastard” and “illegitimate” are not used in Catholic moral texts, where the tern for a baby born outside the bonds of marriage is “natural child”.
But we don’t know what all the circumstances are here.
Is this mom a “in your face pain in the butt” parent at the school, nonexistent, or a volunteer?
Did she approach the school beforehand, explain the reason why she wanted to take her daughter or did she just show up that night, dressed like a man complete with mascara mustache and beard? (Making a mockery of the dance.)
If my husband died in action I would have gone to the school first. If they said no even then (which would be wrong.) I would have had a special mother daughter night. Shopping for new dresses, special restaurant and a movie (or putt-putt golf!) Whatever my daughter wanted to do. I would have made it OUR night.
I was about 13 when my dad took me to downtown Chicago for a daddy-daughter day. One of the most cherished days of my life. This mother could have done something like this for her girl.
The fact this women made this an instagram stir, I suspect she’s a liberal lune and this was all about her. Poor kid.
The mother dressed up as a man with a massacre mustache and beard. She had all this on instagram before hand.
I don’t think this was about her child.
Probably not or just misguided.....
However, that’s not what this thread has evolved to.....She’s no longer the issue but whether a Mom, in lieu of a Father being available (dead, at war, ran away, etc.), should be allowed to attend a Father/Daughter dance as a substitute...
Christ died for her sins. We know she has a child without a father. We don't even know that she wasn't married when the child was conceived, but even assuming she wasn't, that was years ago. We know nothing about the current state of her soul.
Here's more writing of the apostles that we're commanded to keep:
Who are you to judge the servant of another? and So try to be like God, because you are his own dear children. Love others as Christ has loved us. He gave his life for us, a sweet smelling offering and a sacrifice to God.
I absolutely have a right, and obligation, to offer her Christ's love and forgiveness. In the absence of evidence that she even needs it in this case, I certainly do not have a right to cast aspersions on her. For all I know, Christ has forgiven her long ago, and sent her on her way, sinning no more. She may be greater in the kingdom than anyone here casting stones at her.
> For all I know, Christ has forgiven her long ago, and sent her on her way, sinning no more.
Then where is her husband? A women alone with a child should not be raising it unless she’s a widow. A women who repented of her sin should have married or given her child up to 2 parent family members. Anything less is harming the child and continuing her sin, this time against her own child.
That's something you should have made sure you knew before you started throwing stones. Since I'm not interested in stoning her, my only obligation in the case is charity. I do find it interesting that confronted with scripture about your own Christian obligations, you can come back only with your personal opinion of what women "should" do with their children when the father abandons them. There's no basis in scripture that a woman who's lost the father of her children is obliged to give them up.

I find it interesting that you always support sluts over chaste women and attack those who advocate returning to traditional sexual morals. I would hazard to guess that reflects your own soul.
>There’s no basis in scripture that a woman who’s lost the father of her children is obliged to give them up.
Lost or ditched? Because we both know that statistically she almost certainly ditched him.
Secondly there’s a long Christian tradition that A) women with children should be married to the father of their children B) be married to another man who will provide the proper fatherly influence for the children or C) give them up to a two parent home of a related family member with the exception of widows.
My own great great grand mother got knocked up and she immediately got married to the first man who would take her and went on to have 8 children with him. She repented of her sin correctly and my great grand father grew up in a loving 2 parent home.
Why are you advocating that modern women continue living in sin when the solution to the problem is them either: A) marrying the father of their child, B) marrying another man who will raise that child correctly?
So, now you’re calling me a whore?
>So, now you’re calling me a whore?
That’s all you got after throwing up a page full of slander and lies against me? Go play little snowflake, I’m done with you.
Homeschooling next year according to the article, so pretty much changing that special dance for everyone else.
Please show me the slander and lies against you.
