dont think ours said mother or father just parent/guardian I think then relationship

I can’t remember a time that any forms or letters had mother or father on them. Ours are parents/guardians or parent a/parent b

As far as I know I see on many forms parent 1 and parent 2 here as well.

The school my younger children go to has a choice of who you are. My daughter in high school has space for three child carers.

If they really want to be politically correct they should put Guardian on it too.

  I agree. Often it does give the option parent/carer.

Don’t see an issue with it. I’m sure they still ask relationship to child and you are able to put “mother” “father” etc

Our kinder forms and the school forms refer to us as parent A and parent B

I think that’s a fair change

My daughters daycare enrolment says parent 1 parent 2. Nothing really new or earth shattering.

Way too much political correctness.

So to avoid discriminating against gay parents (the minority) they instead decide to discriminate against straight parents (the majority) I just don’t see a good reason for this. I’m mum and my partner is dad, but we can’t be on school admin papers. Very sad

Ours says Parent 1 and Parent 2.

My daughter is in high school and in school documents it also appears “Parent 1” and “Parent 2”.
