Parenthood changes your life in all kinds of ways. One of those ways, according to Samm Davidson: Some friendships just don't fit anymore. She writes: "After years of easy, drama-free friendship it can feel like an unexpected plot twist when parenting differences start wedging their way into the fold. And honestly, it sucks. But it happens all the time. Because in parenthood, feelings of judgment and conflict can be hard to avoid, even with the ones you love most."
