Dad's in school (here is a question)
I had a conversation with a friend who is a dad of three children. He was on a patent-teachers conference call about on of his children. There were five teachers, Principal, Student Counselor, child and both parents. The father is actually step dad. Even though everyone was announced on the call. The father wasn't called upon to speak. The attention was directed totally to the mother. After the conference call. The mother contacted student Counselor to ask him why wasn't student step dad given a chance to talk. The Counselor said school usually gives attention to biological parent.
The mother then replied "why would fathers want to be in their child's life if they get treated like they aren't even important!".
We live in a time where more families are being raised by single parent. If schools can't recognize and respect step parents. What kind of message are the school students sending to fathers
