Why are kids from same sex couple treated differently and like a pariah in day care ?

This is from a person who is working as carer.

Who even knows which kids have same-sex couple parents? I honestly wouldn't have a clue. In fact, I only ever saw one parent at a time doing the drop-off/pick-up. And I wouldn't even know which parent went with which kid most of the time.

Is it the kids treating them differently?

the kid is being treated differently, not the other way around.

regular staff can figure it out, and this is known over small talk.

So what you are saying is the staff are treating a kid differently based on having a same-sex couple as parents?

If this is really happening, it is not normal and absolutely not acceptable. That's a serious accusation and one that will really disturb parents. You should raise this matter with the centre manager. And escalate this as far as necessary until it stops. Day care is supposed to be a safe place, not a place to introduce anxiety into a kid's world.

I don't know what channels and procedures are available to you, but please use them. There is a kid under your care that deserves someone in their corner.

This person works as a casual worker. This has been reported at few centers to their center manager.

Is this a "happy wife, happy life" kind of situation?
