“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.”

“How do you think this is going to turn out?”
If she’s lucky, she’ll find a man who needs a needy woman, and they’ll cling to each other.
No. In this case, it’s doubtful the child even has one, in any but the strictest biological sense.
It is sad , but the homosexual community use children for their own agenda which to me makes them sick
... But it keeps coming back.
The recent flurry of drag queen 8-11 years old put me over the edge. Where is child protective services? Sexualizing children opens them up to a world of abuse and later problems. How would they even know such things existed without enabling parents? I cringe at the stories about kids at drag parades & the California gay street fairs (Nancy’s district) Their gay parents are including them in the things that are important to the parents and the effect of the children is not an issue to them. They would have to acknowledge the downside of their choices to protect their kids.
