I didn't read far enough and posted on what it means to be a mom. You know you're a mom when you stay up late at night despite being exhausted because it's your only time to be alone or have quiet time
Bring a mom means putting your family first. Even if it means sacrificing time money or alone time. When you're exhausted from work and coming home to see your baby having the worst day possible and that doesn't even matter because seeing your babies or children's face makes everything better instantly. Accepting those long sleepless nights to comfort, feed or watch baby when they're sick. Doing whatever it takes to always make sure your child has what they need and they're loved and safe and healthy. Being a mom is the best job in the world and makes life worth living!

They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
