As a young mom I obviously know many other young moms and lately I've just been so bothered by the things I see on facebook and instagram that I decided to vent on here. You do not bring a child into this world to planned or not to let someone else raise this child so you go out and party and have one new boyfriend after another. The second I found out I was pregnant with Rylie, only being 18 years old I knew my whole entire life was changed. Everything I did from that moment on was for my daughter. I love her more than life. Sometimes I come across blogs of people who have lost children, either from SIDS or an accident and it absolutely breaks my heart, these parents have suffered a terrible loss while there are mothers out there that absolutely do not value their children. Our kids are our future, without them where are we going to go? I know I am not near the perfect mother, but I know I try my hardest every single day and at the end of the day I go to bed happy with the fantastic person Rylie is turning into!
I feel like I am just rambling, but I guess the point is that it absolutely breaks my heart to see kids grow up in the situations I have seen lately. Keep your little ones close, life is unexpected.
I feel the exact same way!! It killed me having to send Hadley to daycare for the few short hours each week that I had to last semester! And this year she started school 3 hours a day, 3 days a week and I have a hard time with even that. I realize these things are necessary and even good for her though. It kills me seeing more pictures of girls out partying than I see of their child. Balance is important because we do need breaks, but when I see it weekly or even daily sometimes... and then to think of my aunt who couldn't have kids and is having to adopt instead. It's so unfortunate! And even worse still when these girls have a second. Ugh anyways, at least some of us are really trying to do everything we can for our little ones.
