And yet my kids schools, both in the US and New Zealand refused to make me, their dad, the primary contact for the kids. And in the later case it wasn’t until I repeatedly showed them that I had sole custody that they accepted that they needed to communicate with me instead of the kids mom who lives on the other side of the planet.
Not even close to parity with women — and not an impressive rate of growth over time. Truly, this is no milestone to celebrate. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/03/almost-1-in-5-stay-at-home-parents-in-the-us-are-dads/?utm_content=buffera27c6&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin.com&utm_campaign=buffer-pew

This seems exceptionally bizarre. Im sorry thats the experience that you've had.
I don’t think it was intentional. It’s just their systems are setup to only have a single parent as contact or primary contact and then the office staff just kept making assumptions and reverting it to “mom”. They always apologized and fixed it but it kept happening over and over.

Wow this is just insane!
Such a shame that you had to actually provide proof of that.
