Ever feel like your little one has a favourite? You're not alone! Parental preference is totally normal and super common, whether you’re basking in the glory of being the “chosen one” or dealing with the sting of being second pick. 

Kee and Kelly will share their personal experiences, feature stories from Sh*tters, and provide plenty of practical tips to help you and your co-parent navigate this together.  And remember, being the "chosen one" today means you're just one spilled juice away from second place tomorrow!

Well, it’s often more of a wild ride than a smooth transition. No sugar-coated advice here, just the nitty-gritty truth from parents who’ve been in the trenches.
