Stuck in the Middle with You

I like Jennifer Boylen and I liked Stuck in the Middle with You but… I also didn’t like it.

Jennifer was a dad, when she was Jim.
And then a mom when she transitioned to Jennifer.
But she was always a parent.

A parent who did change (in some ways) as a parent once she transitioned to being a woman.

The it just muddied the waters about what fatherhood, motherhood, parenthood is (or isn’t) — and why. No clear conclusions except that we’re all different, as people and as parents (and we are often different people or parents as time passes.)

Duh and also murky at the same time. Which is pretty much what life is like (for all of us.)
