Why am I not surprised? They never look like HBO.

“No, Mama Steph, go away. I want Mama Sabby to read to me!” These words from my 3-year-old daughter, Marty, level me like the most withering insult. Lately, her extreme favoritism for my spouse, Sabrina, has reached new heights. She even gets mad if I peck Sabrina on the cheek or place my arm around her seat as she drives.
I distinctly remember rebuffing my dad’s affections and interfering with his attempts to kiss or hug my mom when I was a kid. It makes me wonder: Am I the dad in this family? At one time, I might have delighted in the queerness of being daddyfied, but I never wanted to be a woman more than when I became a mom. I wanted to be Marty’s first go-to for all things, but I’m starting to think there isn’t room for two on the mighty mommy throne.
Sabrina is Marty’s biological mother. She gestated her for nine months and breast-fed her for nine more, so their bond had a built-in physicality. Did that make it superior?
Peggy Drexler, a research psychologist and the author of “Our Fathers, Ourselves: Daughters, Fathers, and the Changing American Family,” said that while favoritism may hurt in ways unique to nonbiological moms in same-sex relationships, it has nothing to do with biology and it actually signals developmental progress.
“When a child plays favorites — which is totally normal, by the way — it’s usually an early and familiar way of asserting independence and practicing decision-making. It’s a positive sign of cognitive, and emotional, growth.” She even suggested that it indicates Marty’s confidence in my love for her: “She feels secure in your love — that she can be mean to you, reject you, and you’ll still love her back.”

Yeah, and notice they found a psychologist to claim that the child favoring her biological mother is totally random, implying that the child could be just as attached to mommy’s latest girlfriend. BS.
I read an article written by grown children who said that as kids they were coached to say they had a wonderful life with 2 Moms or 2 Dads but that it had been very painful & isolating and they had trouble forming relationships not having grown up with role models for both sexes.
I think it’s very cruel to submerge children in an experiment to help you prove that you are normal. This is their life and they can’t get a do over.
There is always a psychologist with an axe to grind. That babble about the child being so secure that she could reject the other woman and the woman would still love her....psychobabble.
It’s sad to see the child caught up in this.
Delusional, start to finish.
They are just making excuses for the 3 year old’s behavior to make themselves feel better.
Yes, because you are not her mom.
Pardon my French, but crap like this makes my skin crawl. It’s a visceral revulsion, and I believe it’s perfectly normal. (My revulsion, I mean, not the sexual perversion.)
This should really have had a *barf* warning in the headline, though stupid me didn’t complete reading before I clicked. Wah wah...
How many belly buttons does Marty have? That’s how many mommas Marty has.
Women can’t be dads, and dykes can’t marry.
It ain’t a family, and you’re just a perv.
Bizarre thought processes there. Maybe it’s the kind of mental pretzels that inspired that lesbian couple to drive off a cliff with all their kids. This kind of confusion and envy and jealousy can’t be good for this “family”. And heaven help the kids caught up in the mess.
Yes, absolutely. The kid instinctively knows you’re not the mama, and you’re not the daddy, and she is not your daughter.
Ditto.
Naturam expellas furca ...
True.
A FReeper suggested when you’re reading the “transgendered woman” or “transgendered man” stories substitute the word “fake” for “transgendered.”
I’ve now been able to decipher the various MSM propaganda articles using that handy bit of advice.
I wonder how they knows that, as opposed to simple "I don't like this horse, but I'll keep riding it as long as she'll let me...?"
An unwanted child begins with an unloving world around it and the beginning of mental health issues and then is thrown into bizzaro world in its young life until adult hood. How do you think this is going to turn out?
She is SPECIAL!
These fumb ducks are so nauseating.
A girl named Marty?? Marty is a boy’s name, but these morons are trying to unisex Marty...Sick people...
