They reflect on the gendered expectations of motherhood, the challenge of letting go during the “detachment” phase, and the surprise joys of being a “late-game parent.” Plus, Christine confesses her teenage-boy-social-anxiety and Saphira reveals the surprising lesson her son taught her about her own femininity.
