NOT READY
I Don't Want To Share My Boys With Anybody
 
Today Samm Burnham Davidson is grappling with one of the harder realities of parenting: one day, they'll go off and leave you, and you won't be their first phone call anymore. The best friends, the first loves, the lifelong partners – they're all coming, eventually. And she's not ready: "I will be forced to act normal and kind to their partners, to increase the likelihood of them hanging out at our house rather than elsewhere, but I am positive I will be rolling my eyes at all of his/her antics. Because no one will ever be good enough for my boys, and I will never want to share them with anyone, not even for an afternoon." Making that space is hard!
