Does the name really say it all?

Maybe it's just me.  Maybe it's a sensitivity to semantics.  Maybe it's just force of habit.  At a school gathering or in a newsletter, when teachers want a message to get home it is so often directed at moms?

"If any of the moms would like to help...."

"Could all the moms please..."

It's not going to change the world, but it would be nice to be acknowledged as me.  And not just me as an individual as in "Could all the moms and Gordon..."  That would just be embarrassing.  

Is there an alternative? "Could all the primary care givers..."  Mmm, just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?

So maybe it's just me.  Maybe I will just take pride in my difference.  But looking at the school parking lot, and seeing who drops off and picks up children, I wonder how long it will be before it's not just me?  Before other solo Dads also say, "Hey!  What about me?"
