The more I talk to people on here and help them and see what I'm doing with my life the more confident I feel in myself and happy about what I've accomplished....I do tend to put myself down cause I love my baby daddy and feel like I've failed in keepin our family together but hey I'm gonna give myself some props here
I've had my own place for 4 years now n I'm only 25
I've been at my job for 5 yrs and am a supervisor cause I was determined to take care of my child andprovide for her
I've been single for 2.5 yrs and still haven't let life fall apart
I gave up my goin out and partyin life when I had my first and am sick when I see other mothers my age or younger still doin it and sleeping around...gross
I work with autistic kids which means I'm surrounded by kids at work and at home
I love my child I don't ever regret having her she is smart and beautiful and I made her that way I'm so proud
I may not have lots of friends and my family lives far away but I am doing it and will continue to with the addition of my daughter in june I can't wait


I hope nobody thinks I'm being conceided by saying that all about myself.....but I want to hear someof you woman talk about the positive things u are accomplishing!!!!!

Congrats ! You should be proud! I had my first kid in college . Been with my husband for six years now we bought our second house last year . Have a three year boy who is my pride and joy! A little girl on the way! We never give up our life goals! And I'm in my twenties lol women should be proud when they are happy and have done amazing things! Bringing babies into the world is amazing!

Good for you!!! I think its so nice to hear how happy you are! I am 27 & have an almost 3 year old girl. I love being a mom & truly live for my little girl. I am lucky that I have a good husband & we are expecting our 2nd in late July. I am so tired of being judged by other women my age around here because I don't dump my daughter off at my in-laws & go out drinking & partying... I am so not that kind of mom & hate that that's the norm around here & that I'm looked down on because I don't... even my MIL talks about me behind my back about that & I thought she'd be proud of me for being a better mom than that!
Keep your head up, girl! And don't ever stop being happy & proud of your accomplishments!

I completely agree with you! I was a teen mom, had my twin boys at 16. Its a miracle the three of us survived everything we went through & we are all perfectly healthy! I got a full academic scholarship to college & graudated with 2 bachelors. Was married to the man who came around when the boys were 1 year old. He went on deployment 3 years ago & was very controlling & abusive when he got back, so I left him & started over again. I came home & I live with my parents again, but that's because my Mom has terminal cancer, & I want her to be happy in the last years of her life. We have always been very close & she deserves to have things easy. I went back to school & I'm a paramedic, & I absolutely love my job! My boys will be 10 this year & they each get straight As & are in the advanced classes at school! Met the most perfect man a year ago, & now we are having a baby together, even after I was told I would never have kids again. He even moved in to help me with Mom & the boys! I absolutely love my life, & I never thought I would be able to accomplish so much with so much against me!

I did the partying and I don't miss it. I've been married for 5 years now and have a two year old son who was an oops baby. I got pregnant on bc and using condoms! I started college just 3 weeks before discovering I was pregnant and my husband started just before my son was born. I am pregnant with my second after 2 miscarriages and am very proud of the changes I've made in my life that will positively effect my children, my life and my marriage. I will graduate with my bachelors in psychology only a couple of weeks before my second is born. I will be continuing for my masters after the birth and plan on getting my doctorate after that!

We can do it and are doing it I hope mothers who feel lost read this and see there is a light at the end of the road

Congratulations ladies! You all should be very proud of your accomplishments! It does put it in perspective for me. This is my first child and I'm 31 yrs old. I was freakin out about finances, but we do have it together. I bought my house in 8/2008 and got married 10/2008. We have been together for 11 years now and we were engaged for 4 years. I had a grat job that provided well and got laid off in 2009. It dropped my income over 55%! But we will make it and have a happy baby. We still struggle to pay off all our bills, but I have faith that it will get done.
