To All The Moms Of Firstborn Daughters

May. 8, 2023

HERE'S THE DEAL
To All The Moms Of Firstborn Daughters

If I'm being honest, as a firstborn daughter – Alexa, play "Surface Pressure," from the Encanto soundtrack – I've got to admit that we're a very specific bundle of neuroses. Samm Davidson agrees, and today she's got a word for anybody out there who's raising one of us.

"Over the years I have listened to many friends of mine describe and discuss their own firstborn daughters with a list of adjectives and attributes that sound all too familiar," she writes. "So without pretending to be a scientist, and with the caveat and understanding that birth order generalizations and stereotypes are not always accurate, I would like to offer you moms with firstborn daughters a little advice."

I think it's pretty helpful! It'll at least explain some of the meltdowns.

From The Confessional: 'I Hate Sports And I Hope My Kids Do Too'

Oh, kids sports. Some of you view them with dread: "Rainouts are my favorite." But some of you are just delighted for 45 minutes without somebody climbing on you: "Signing up my kid for activities gives me a break that I need."
