Happy Non-biological Mother’s Day
Claire will be leaving daycare next month. She’ll be headed to preschool at the local United Methodist Church, about a mile north of our house, where the older two girls went.
The enrollment form is four pages long. At the bottom of the first page they want to know if they need to get permission, from a custodial parent who does not live with the child, for a step-parent to pick the child up. But after explaining what they need to know, here’s how they worded the question:
“Does the child live with both biological parents at the above home address?”
Any guesses why I might find this question annoying?
Do we answer the question they asked? Or do we give them the answer they need to the question they didn’t ask? Or do I complain about the question in my blog?
As we will be unable to get permission from Claire’s birthparents, our only option is for our four-year-old to walk home.
