Parents or not "We are still young"

Festive season is just around the corner and although we have kids we still young and funky and we wanna have fun. However, this becomes a huge problem most of the time because we don't go about it 'responsibly'.Yes, we have a right to go out and have fun because we are young but we also have a responsibility to look out for our kids.
I've heard really horrible stories about what young mothers do in order to go out. Some lock their babies alone in their rooms and people would hear a shrieking cry of a baby only to realize that the mother is not there. Others would ask you to hold their baby pretending that they are quickly dashing out and will be back soon only to come back the next day and you end up taking care of the child the whole night.
I always ask myself, what does your child think about you  while he/she is locked up in that room crying their lungs out? What kind of parent does that make you?
My fellow young parents, I urge you to be responsible. Make arrangements with someone to look after your kid while you are out partying. I am sure there is a sister, aunt, mother, grandmother or even a friend who would be willing to help you out. Also make some time to spend with your kids, they need to have fun with their parents too. If you don't take care of your child, who will? BE RESPONSIBLE!

Birthdays

Buddy showing his age

Hey moms, do u still remember that day when you had the worst pain in your life? I still do and I will always remember it for the rest of my life. It was the day my baby was born. The pain was horrible but what came out of it was wonderful. When I held my beautiful baby boy in my arms afterwards, it was all worth it. That day comes every year but it's no longer painful, thank goodness for that. It is now a celebration for every year our babies add to their age. 

My boy recently turned five. Wow, I still find that hard to believe. It seems like only yesterday when I had sleepless nights because he was crying for "Totto" my older sister, and she wasn't there. His dad and I threw him a birthday party at his preschool. I could just tell that my son was having a blast. Watching him having so much fun with his peers brought me so much joy and reminded me of how much I love him.

Here's a video of the party!

ANYTHING FOR MY BABY

We can always try to deny it but mothers care more about their kids than fathers do. The things we go through just for the sake of protecting our children are very extreme. I am not denying the love that dads have for their kids, there are a lot of wonderful men out there doing an excellent job at parenting. Some are even single parents but nothing compares to the love of a mother for her child.

Sometimes we endure the most horrible situations in relationships because we are not thinking for ourselves but for our children. A woman might stay in an abusive relationship whether physically or emotionally and people will wonder why and when you dig deep down you find out that the poor young woman is unemployed maybe still at school and is struggling to provide even for herself. There is this guy on the other hand, her baby daddy who abuses her day in and day out but has all the money to support the kid. The young woman then chooses to stay fearing that if she leaves the father will stop supporting the child but is that really the way to go? Is the young lady really doing anyone a favor by staying in an abusive relationship?
