Being a young mom is hard. Like... A lot of people judge you. I hate the "oh you're just a kid raising a kid"…

Oh hun, you're 21, I'm 16 and I'm pregnant.. I know a lot of people judge me that I decided to marry and to have a baby, but I don't need nobody beside me, just my baby and my boyfriend.💙

Most of my friends are in college, dropping acid and going to music festivals. It's been a big adjustment. I got lucky though, working in a daycare I met fellow employees who had kids. Bam instant mom friends.

You're a good mom, even better mom for being able to stay at home with her than out her in daycare for 30/40 hours a week ! Don't compare yourself to other mothers, we all do this motherhood journey at our own pace, each person is different, just like your baby is different than others and unique. Your baby will benefit greatly from having you there for constant support, something a child these days rarely gets if both parents are working full time. Just because you're young doesn't mean life is over, you're living your life right now as a new mom, you'll eventually find yourself again and discovery new things about you that you didn't know you were capable of! Stay strong mana💪🏼

I can't tell you how many girl friends I lost when I decided to have a kid so young. I had my first just a couple months after my 19th birthday.

I just think, "Sure you're judging now, but when you're almost 40 with a two year old you're going to wish you had the energy of a 20 year old just to keep up with them." 😂

I might find it a little easier though because it was always my goal to have a family before anything. I have been feeling the itch to start doing more, recently though. So I get where you're coming from. 😩❤
