Cause its easier to explain to children, how they come to exist at certain age levels. I will agree and say, they should call the event p Parents day, this way its all inclusive of bioligical Parents, adoptive parents,foster parents, grandparents and godparents

Like its difficult to explain how same-sex couples can have a baby (naturally) For instance, in my family were open and honest and hold family discussions on topics and how to present them to the children.well, my cousins daughter (5) asked one day, if she spent the whole summer with her girlfriend (a school mate) will they both get pregnant? I looked at her not knowing how to reply. She's asking a question that to properly explain it, shed have to be more mature to understand. I just told her ask your mommy, she has babies I don't.lol

Schools could easily accommodate with a "Breakfast with Family" event, instead of making outdated assumptions.

Yeah, you're right. We should get rid of Mother's and Father's Day and replace it with Parents Day. Wait, that excludes children that live with their Grandparents. Ok, Family Day. Wait, that excludes children who are in foster care. Wait that excludes children who are in group homes of juvenile detention centers. I got it! Legal Guardians(court-appointed or otherwise) and Wards of the State Day!!!! Some people can't see the forest for the trees.

No it doesn't exclude anyone but includes everyone godPARENT, Foster PARENT, adoptive PARENT, grandPARENT in regards to guardians, well there's always Friendship day. Oh and family is you make right, so family day work too, then you can include those individuals that aren't sanginially related, everyone's envited to the party but moods, vices, bad attitudes are not welcomed

Or parents day... If parent is attached to your title, well come on down. Inclusion is love

I think you misunderstood huddos sister post Laymen term: in Australia everyone is invited to the party, no special guests

Digital logic has a valid point and a strong argument, every single human on earth has a mom and a dad (biologically) no exceptions!

We both know modern education is as flawed as opinions on this board 🤣 some children have parents and some don't some just have a form of family only. My father died when I was very young, on fathers day I spend it with my mom. And guess what? I'd bring her to every event, what are they going to do-ask us to leave? Gladly, with a refund of course.

good lord ... people like you actually DO exist ... yikes!!! FYI ... according to the Census ... in 2021 ... there were 5.55 million families (in a population of 26M people ... in Australia alone) ... and 1.07 million were recorded as sole parent families ... FOUR out of FIVE of those ... the parent was female ... ... and you're suggesting we show NO sensitivity towards any of them huh? SHAME on you for being so cold blooded and inhumane! towards CHILDREN no less!!! DISGUSTING!!!!!

Because too many of you embrace misogyny, then cry victim the moment attention is drawn to the violence that, in pure fact, is more often perpetrated by your gender than by women.

So it's ok to suspect Dads of being perverts because some men are misogynists? That's like saying it's ok to suspect mums of being perverts because some women are sexist.

For men misogyny = feminism for women. Do I have to mansplain it to you?

I do have sympathy for women/girls walking around in fear. My wife being one of them. But it's important to remember that men also have reason to fear, considering that 79% of victims of violent crime are male.

my ex-wife was a victim in her youth, luckily neither of my daughters have had that experience. My sons, on the other hand, have all been assaulted at some point. One of those assaults was from a girl in school... and nothing was done to her. My son got in trouble for threatening her if she didn't stop harassing him. It's a completely screwed up system.

Everyone should be hypervigilant. Women have to worry about being raped, men have to worry about being murdered.

The odds of a woman actually having that happen are significantly less than violence against men by other men. I do not condone that behavior against either sex but taking an issue men face and then trying to dismiss it by changing the focus to women, which I just did to you, does nothing to address the initial issue.

They had breakfast at school, in the cafeteria, surrounded by staff/other adults. I'm sure there were plenty of pedophiles and narcissists at this event, smuggly eating breakfast with their children. Crimes against children are overwhelmingly committed by their parents/family members.

It is also a possibility that the mothers, themselves, are pedophiles. The teachers could be too. And the window cleaners. There could also be a terrorist attack on the school, or an arsonist. Maybe even a plane crash right into the school. After all, we don't live in an ideal world.

In a world that is neither ideal nor just, with so many things beyond our control, it's important that we try to control the negative things that we can.

Making ridiculous comments isn't help ful. No one said exclude men. But men are, by a massive majority, the rapists and pedos of the world and that is a fact women (and too many children) have to negotiate every day. It pays to be proactive.

I know of a couple of studies to find out how much of the adult population are pedos. Both found that less than 1% are pedos. And that percentage includes women.

Please cite your sources. I found just one & that was conducted on a very small pool of people.

Man that’s so false.

Speaking from a psychological viewpoint, "cunning" is a very apt description of most paedophiles due to their ability to appear charming and their use of subtle grooming techniques, etc. See: https://www.fairmontsentinel.com/uncategorized/2019/03/14/a-primer-on-pedophiles/ The US Department of Justice also frequently publishes a behavioral analysis of paedophiles where "cunning" is a descriptor. They also report on female offenders: https://www.missingkids.org/content/dam/missingkids/pdfs/publications/nc70.pdf
