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.
They were trying to be PC just like this mom is. Because one kid did not have a father? The other parents should have complained. Plus the kid who’s dad died? They could have lit a memorial candle for him (plug in kind). People don’t think.
In the real world everyone does not bend to you just because you are offended. Unless you are a liberal snowflake but that’s ending now because of Trump.
