This actually is really sad for the young daughter.
There are many fatherless children because the fathers were killed in action..
Which scenario applies in *this* case.
I’m not understanding the hate here.
Society tends to bend over backward to help perverts who want to pretend to be the gender they are not. That’s OK these days.
But what he have here is a mother trying to give her daughter a special day. Society doesn’t want that! Stomp that dream!
No one is perfect. It seems to me that the mom was trying to do something nice.
Good fathers are often disenfranchised from their children’s lives by the children’s mothers.
I would look at other things as well. Did the father refuse to support the child? Is the father even known?
What if the mom were to be a military widow?
This is a stupid rule. No one would have cared had they been allowed to attend. Another tinpot dictator running a school.
She had me going until she started talking about rule changes for father daughter dances. If it’s that important to her that her daughter have a father, she should go get one.
I’m a professional DJ and for the past 15 years I have entertained at a Father/Daughter Dance. It was one of the highlights of my year. Because my daughters became old enough to go with me. Fathers were dressed in suits and daughters looked like little princesses. This year I was told that we may not do the dance next year because a ‘few’ women were complaining that it wasn’t inclusive enough. I went home shaking my head. Sad times.
When I was in 3rd grade my teacher told the class that we were going to “forget Father’s Day” because one girl in our class has a father who had passed away. I remember thinking how silly that was at the time. Still do. Life isn’t fair. I’m sure the mother in this story could have found another lovely way to spend that night with her daughter.
The best thing would be for the father not to abandon his child and show up regardless of the relationship with the mother.....
At least the Mom tried when the father failed....
Yet you blame the one person who showed responsibility not just for the dance but every day in that childs life.....
It is a Father/Daughter dance, I’ve done many and they are some of my best memories....
I would support and applaud a single Mom showing up as the escort in lieu of the father......
My daughter was effectively a single Mom when her husband a Marine served four consecutive tours in Afganistan....If my Granddaughter was of that age, would you deny her the right?
The scuzzy beard was a bit much.
Amen!
And what is she teaching her daughter about honesty?
Whether the woman never married, was abandoned by the father, drove the father away or the father passed away, she should have called the principal in advance and inquired whether she could escort her little girl.
Failing that, she should have asked a brother, uncle or male cousin to escort her daughter.
Just showing up and expecting to be included was too in the face, like a political statement for women’s rights or transgender rights.
And the little girl is the one who suffered for it.
There is never an unbiased story anymore. There is always 'THE' Agenda...
The mother is the one overreacting. If she planned some other outing with her daughter, all would be fine. Instead she plays the victim and seeks a big audience, with her daughter as another prop in the performance.
You can bet your last dollar that if the mother had a lesbian wife, that would have been allowed in todays world.I’ll not join the argument on why the mother isn’t married to the childs father
The article is nonspecific as to why there is no father around
Jumping to conclusions is not useful
But women have been doing this for years:
