My Confession Based on my Own Experience
I know! I know it's better to have a child or own family when you're much older. Why? Because I know that we should be studying or work hard first before we make our own family in order to give our child/children a better life. But what we can do if we already had them unexpectedly?
Be thankful! Be proud! Embrace our destiny and then find solutions how we will make it right.
Here in Philippines, rumors, trashtalks and etc. is very common. I call them perfectionist(even they are not perfect) because no one is perfect, we all have flaws and we make mistakes.
Lately I've been hearing stuff about me having baby for a very young age. At first, I let them talk from behind but then it became not tolerable anymore. I feel like I did nothing good, they stressed me out. They put me down!
Why?
Have I done anything wrong to them? No!
Have I insulted them even once?No!
You couldn't even see me talking with other people because I only stay at home and just doing my best being a mother.
How could they make fun of a person like me? I would understand if i abort the baby or gave her away to other people. But no, I did not, did I?
It makes me sad, this country is not getting better. The country where I was born and raised make me proud even less.
I am posting this because I want them to open their eyes that hurting me/us won't help.
I agree that it is very hard to be a full time mom at a very young age because I still have a lot of wants in my life, I still have the dream i want to be when I wasn't a mother yet. But I never blamed my child, instead, I am giving her all of me. She is my priority! I believe that i will still make my dream come true and my child would be my inspiration to do that someday when I have the opportunity.
Every motherhood is never a mistake no matter how young or old you are, as long as you're doing it good. Having a child is a blessing and i regret nothing! Just saying...
What beautiful words! No one has the right to look down on young mothers! Keep going and be strong!
What a beautiful story. My Australian mother was 14 years old when she gave birth to me my father 16. I had the most wonderful childhood. Full of love and may not have had everything I wanted, I had everything that I needed.
