From previous doubts turned inside out
Our son has been in preschool since September and he has enjoyed it very much. Prior to enrolling him we had our concerns and questions, but we thought it would be best for our son.
The second week the theme was “My Family” and that was cool. He was able to bring pictures of his family to class and show everyone. It was a bit interesting for us to select pictures for him to bring and share with others.
I thought it was very nice, professional and exceptionally respectful of the school to be cool with us being a same-sex family and our son bringing pictures of his mom’s to class to share. That was a concern we had prior to enrolling him in school. It was very important to us.
Then the wife and I will either go together to pick the kiddo up from school and the other parents will see him greet the two of us. It is interesting to see the reactions of the parents. However, the children don’t pay too much attention. They just notice the mommies and daddies in the room.
In late October, our sons class had their first class field trip. Of course we’re the kind of parents who want to attend every field trip. The field trip was like any other. Nobody made a fuss about us or made a comment. It was like us being a same-sex couple and being a parent was no big deal. That was so refreshing.
Even the teachers at the school are great. They are always so friendly and welcoming. They refer to both of us as his mom’s or mommy. It makes me feel amazing. It really shows that not all people are so stuck back then. After all it is 2015, times have changed.
We are proud to be mother’s to a wonderful little boy.
