My Teen Mom Is Now My Best Friend
[[link removed]] 
“Her whole life was a string of perfect, fall-in-line, type-A decisions. She was
prom queen, best smile, most likely to succeed. And then, she got pregnant with
me.” 

That’s how Samm Burnham Davidson opens her latest piece, about her relationship
with her mom, who got pregnant when she was 18. No doubt it was tough at times,
but it turns out that they’re super, super close as a result: “She is my first
choice for any girls-night-out activity. She is fun, interesting, and full of
energy. She wears Hokas, rides the Peloton, and loves reality TV. We speak the
same sarcastic, short-versed language, have the same humor, and understand the
same references.” Read her on their ups and downs, and what she wants for her
relationship with her own kids. 

— Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor

I Brought My Mom To My IUI. She Wanted Me To Bring A Vibrator.
[[link removed]] 
I love this excerpt from Alyssa Shelasky’s new essay collection, out today: This
Might Be Too Personal: And Other Intimate Stories. It’s about what happened when
her mom came along to her IUI and decided to offer some unsolicited coaching:
“My lack of a sex toy did not matter to my mother as she folded herself into the
en suite medical closet, yelling at me to get off ‘the old-fashioned way!’ Now.
We are a ride-or-die family, and my mom and I were born troublemakers, but her
asking me to rub one out so that I could give her a second grandchild was too
much, even for me.”
