There are many fatherless children because the fathers were killed in action..
True but that does not seem to be the case here or the mom would have said “the dad was killed in Iraq” or whatever. Had she said that, trust me people would be feeling it for her. One of is military pals would have said “I’ll take her to the dance” Military FReepers am I correct on this?
No this is just a woman who popped one out of wedlock, no father at all in the picture. Now this school is having a father-daughter dance and she wants to ruin it for every other girl who has a father just because her child does not have one.
That is true, but this says that the father is “out of the picture”.
And there’s kids like me, whose fathers were killed by drunk drivers.
I’ve always hated school activities that are only for the father or only for the mother, because there are kids whose parents are widowed or divorced, and it just makes the kids feel left out for no reason.
There’s no reason to be judgmental toward this mother. We don’t know why she’s a single mother. And if she’s devoted enough to her child, that she’ll go to such extremes to make her little one happy...that’s something to be praised, not criticized.
And Georgia is a state with a large military contingent
...or the skunk fathers just took off.
I feel sorry for the little girl and the lengths Mom went to for her. Too bad Mom didn’t talk to the school and explain the situation beforehand (maybe she did — I didn’t read the entire article).
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.
