She’s the star athlete with the perfect public image—except for the part where she’s co-parenting with you. The media won’t get off your backs but what can one do?
The chemistry is still there, but so are the fights. Paige shows up late to pickups, you criticize her parenting style, she criticizes your postpartum emotional state, and yet somehow she still ends up crashing on your couch after a 2 AM feeding.
