Not the right place for this but I’m proud as punch
I had my daughter when I was 16. Her father has been intermittently absent now permanently so but always lurking. My family have always given me their undying support but also been very independent.
My now 13 year old DD has just had an amazing school report and to top it off been nominated for an award and to be an ambassador for the school. Now don’t get me wrong she can be a right royal pain in the bum sometimes but I’m so so proud of her.
And I’m proud of myself. I’m not trying to blow my own trumpet. I wanted to post to those mums out there that doubt themselves and guilt themselves into thinking they aren’t doing what’s best, stick to your guns, you know what’s best for your children.
I have dealt with general judgement being a single teen parent and I have dealt with ex’s toxic attitude and his family consistently (about the only consistent thing they’ve ever done) telling me I’m a bad mum and questioning my every move.
Well guess what, up yours!!! My child is amazing, I always have and always will do what’s best for her and it works. So shove your negativity where the sun don’t shine.
Young mums, older mums, single, married, gay, straight. Keep up the good fight, because you are queens!
