Life as a Teen Mom

Title says it all and I'm sure you all have questions about us young mothers and here are some of the following most asked questions

  • Are all Teenage mothers bad parents?
  • Do they go out and party?
  • Do they leave their child with their parents
the answer is some are and some are not. It upsets me to no end, when older woman and men stereotype us  us into one category which is "Failures" or "Delinquents" who will screw up our children. It bothers me when one of my friends who is a young mother that comes to me in tears telling me how many people are telling her she is a bad parents for being so young when I have seen FIRST HAND what a selfless, loving person she is to her daughter. It makes me want to pull out my hair because people are so blinded by society views on young moms. Do I wish I was older? Of course, should I have "DON'T BE SILLY WRAP THE WILLY?" no doubt, but do I regret having my son? Not ONE single bit. He is my PRIDE and my joy. I have made many mistakes in my life and he is NOT one of them, he is one of the things I have done right in my life. I am a PROUD young mom. 

Any who! My life as a teenage mom is NOT easy but then again PARENTING NEVER IS! It doesn't matter if you're 45 years old, PARENTING is a challenge with lack of sleep, no time to yourself, cost of diapers, lack of sleep oh and did I mention lack of sleep? Yet all of that is all totally worth it. Every morning when I am greeted with my son smacking me in the face to wake up and cooing its amazing, he always looks up at me with the biggest smile and that just makes my day. Its amazing honestly. Oh and don't forget when they begin to talk, that just turns my heart into jello or anything they do fart, burp..all is so damn cute. 
I think the biggest challenge for me is quitting school to get my GED and the money factor, I do not have a job but my fiance who supports us work; it does make me feel awful that I cannot do more to help with the income, he says though my job is to raise and love Micah and I DO, and its awesome; still  I feel useless. 

It feels great to be a stay at home mom..


WHAT DID YOUR PARENTS THINK? 
What did your BOYFRIEND DO?

Ah..those questions, easy my family supported me all the way, they were not happy but near the end of my pregnancy they were very excited for Micah arrival. My boyfriend? He proposed to me at my babyshower (HIS PARENTS THREW ME THE BABY SHOWER!) So there was no problem there. My son was born December 10, 2013 here is a picture of my Grandmother, my fiance, Micahs god father and me holding our son, we are a beary happy family!
