Date: 2007-03-30 01:30 am (UTC)I wasn't the child of a teenage Mother, but I was the child of a single Mother. Life was hard. Life wasn't fair. Life was painful most days.. but.. despite all of that - I turned out okay. I've also known a teen Mom or two, who were pretty darn good Moms all things considered.
I'm also a Mom myself. I am still in school, because until I had kids - I didn't actually know what I wanted to do with my life. It's not an easy decision for everyone. I don't feel that my going to school hinders my ability to be a good parent.. nor do I feel like my not having every single ducky in a row hinder that either. I'm not perfect. I'll never BE perfect. I yell sometimes, I cry sometimes. I get frustrated and disappointed with my kids. Having had them any later than I did (at 23 and 24), nor having all of my education in place, nor having a stable career would change that. It's human reaction. No parent is perfect, it's not possible and attempting to be so will create way more problems than you can imagine.
Now, all of that said - I refuse to go this whole parenting business alone. My husband and I have a very stable relationship. I love him dearly and vice versa. We make each other stronger as a team, and our weaknesses as a parent are the others strengths. We're a complete package.
