fuck man... when there is this one single sentence that is like totally based:

Kuban. „Wir sollten aber eine inhaltliche Debatte dazu führen, ob Kinder noch für Väter und Mütter basteln sollen.“

lasst die kinder doch einfach kinder sein, wenns den eltern so viel bedeutet, dass da was gebastelt wird, dann koennen die ja immernoch.

so some conservative asshat here posted on twitter: an uncensored letter (with visible contact info of the kindergarten it came from) informing parents about how they wont do mothersday or fathersday gifts anymore. they used to craft little stereotypical bits and bobs with the children, they wont do that anymore, for more inclusivity.

as a trans woman and parent: i like the gesture from that kindergarten a lot.
i dont quite give a damn about mothersday or fathersday, never have.
at least with our KG it's me and mommy having to sign into either the mothers group or the fathers group. at least they left the choice up to us.. we wont be attending either, me because i wouldnt feel at home at either group. and mommy is just tired and just doesnt want to participate in most things...

so why would conservative-asshat make that letter public in the first place? to piss off people who are not interested in this and make it seem like mothers and fathers are quietly erased by inclusivity.

but at least the last sentence he is quoted with is mighty valid:

"We should talk about whether or not children should be made to craft little tokens of gratitude for their fathers and mothers."
ok my translation isnt that close in tone at all but yeah we should question whether children should be all that thankful to their parents by default, and made to built shit by (basically) strangers. or whether

parents should work on improving their relationship to their children themself.

kindergarten to me as a parent, nowadays in germany, (okok very locally speaking here about this one kindergarten LO1 is visiting i guess....) doesnt feel at all like a service you pay for and get something in return. rather it is a communal space with caretakers who are just as human as you are.
when mommy told me about the first parents night she attended, how one parent kept reitterating how much they pay for their child to come there and ... geeeeeeeez... i am so thankful to mommy that i didnt have to endure that... <3
