Welcome To My Reality~

March Prompt #21

21. For those of you who are parents, how has your life been different since you had children? Is it everything you thought it would be or very different than you imagined? How has being a parent changed you as a person? If you don't want to have children, share why you don't.

I became a parent one month after I turned 19...Then 3 years later came along my son...then another 3 years later came my last daughter....who was my miracle child.

Parenting changed me in sooooo many ways....I have tried my best to be a good mom....my kids have learned that I have physical and mental health issues and they have adapted to them....as I have adapted to having 2 children with medical problems.....

Having children has changed me in ways I never knew possible...I learned that you CAN love 3 kids all the same and have enough room in your heart for them all. I have learned that nobody is a perfect mother and we all make mistakes...I have learned that I still have a lot to learn...

My children..I have raised to be independent and to stand for what they believe in NO matter what! I have raised them to make their own decisions and to not live life for someone else...to live life for THEMSELVES!!

Being a parent is hard...no manual...no instructions...but somehow...as a parent you just KNOW what to do....being a parent has changed my life for the better so very much! And I could not imagine it any other way....ever.
