A therapeutic exercise! I hope in some way this post helps struggling Mums.
- You’re going to mess up, that’s just life and that’s ok if you learn from those mistakes.
- People are going to stare at you and judge you but keep your head high knowing you are better than what they think you are.
- In fact, don’t give a damn what anyone thinks of you – you’re doing a fantastic job.
- You will make mistakes when you become a mother again at 29!
- Don’t undersell yourself, you don’t have to put up with nonsense because you think nobody will want to be with a young Mum.
- As soon as you realise all the above are true, your life is going to change, significantly and for the better, but you must believe you deserve to be treated right.
- You don’t have to have lots of money to be a good Mum, all your child wants is your love and time.
- One day your child will become your best friend, she won’t be a crying baby totally dependent upon you, but a companion. Also in the blink of an eye she will not need you as much anymore, so enjoy her total dependence upon you while it lasts.
- When times get tough, and they do get tough, remember that things will get better, your life will improve and your child will one day grow into a beautiful, intelligent young lady and it’s all thanks to your hard work. And when you receive a card thanking you for all you’ve done try not to cry (it’s not cool).
- And another thing … you won’t believe this for a minute now, but one day you’re going to continually brag about the fact you were a teenage Mum (and so is your child).
