I AM A MOTHER!!!!

I hate it when older folk try to play my parenting skills. Yes, I am a young mother...but what is your point?

I am a young mother with a good ass job, getting an education, and still has time for my son EVERY SINGLE DAY! No, I'm not constantly in someone's club, constantly having others watch my child or take on my responsibility. Anyone that knows me...knows if you see me, my son is close by.

Everyone assumes that because of my age (21) I can not fully understand the sacrifices and responsibility of motherhood. Needless to say, I am very much aware how much time, patience, and sacrifice is involved in my roll as a mother. I can count numerous times when I needed something, but my son was growing out of his clothes so I put my ish on the back burner. A few times when I didn't eat to ensure my baby had a full meal. Staying up until 4 in the morning with a sick child and STILL going to work.

Whether you realize it or not...I AM A MOTHER, and a damn good one. I would give my son the world if I could. No matter my circumstances I will be his provider, teacher, disciplinarian, motivator, and everything else he needs.
