Every sniff gives them a flood of information about who and what they’re encountering—including you. Why They Focus on That Area The crotch happens…

We handled school events, holidays, and weekend exchanges with ease — no bitterness, no fights. Just quiet cooperation. Life settled into a steady rhythm, and I often felt grateful that we could still function as partners in parenthood, even if we were no longer husband and wife. One…
