Single Mom Dresses As Dad So Her Son Wouldn’t Miss ‘Donuts With Dad’ Day At School

When single mom Yevette Vasquez dropped her son off to school recently, she noticed more cars in the parking lot than usual. She asked her son Elijah what was going on and he told her that the school was holding a breakfast event called ‘Donuts with Dads’. Not wanting her son to miss out, Yevette, from Texas, did what any mom would do in such a situation: she drove home, put on a plaid shirt, a Rangers baseball cap, a chain, a fake mustache, and even a dash of cologne, and then returned to school incognito so Elijah could enjoy some donuts with “dad”.

“I know seeing other dads with their kids isn’t easy for mine but it’s life,” wrote Vasquez on Facebook. “At least I can do whatever it takes to put a smile on that face.” And as you can see, she certainly did just that. Yevette Vasquez – we salute you.

In my school such day would be a trauma for half of the children (due to lack of dads); that's why I suppose such events shouldn't be organized by school at all – making it "Donuts with family", whatever family a child has. Some are single mothers, some are single fathers, there is also a lot of children that live with their grandparents – everyone should be treated equally.

I agree! Whenever my nephew and nieces have/had a Dad-Day in Kindergarten, it was always their granddad's going... It's a nice change and makes/made them feel less excluded and fatherless.

My mother passed away when I was very young. I felt the loss especially on days at school that involved mothers. What this mother did was wonderful. In retrospect, though, I am glad that my father didn't try to dress up as a woman to act like my mom at school!

I am a preschool director. We have a dad event every year in 4K, but we welcome any family member who loves the child, including extended family OR friends of the family if that is the person who can attend. The world of parenting is often a "mom-centric" place, so I don't criticize the school for creating a dad moment. As a director, I know that I would welcome any parent with a concern of this nature, and I think the main point here is that every parent should feel have a right to meet their childs emotional and social needs, and can approach the school authorities with another option if their situation does not fit in the context. This was a great parenting moment. I applaud her!

You're totally correct about the mom-centric thing.
