I’ve had this plan in mind since I was about 14: be 18, graduate high school, get pregnant, have my first and only child at 19, give them the best life possible, and be the best mom I can be. At the time, I had never even had a boyfriend. I met my first and only boyfriend at 16, and we’ve been together since. I’ve been taking prenatal vitamins ever since I became sexually active. Money isn’t an issue, and all things considered, the plan worked out exactly as I imagined. I’ve always been a very nurturing person, and I’ve been devouring books and content about parenting, pregnancy, and childbirth.
I'm so happy for you for knowing what you want and going for it. I wouldn't recommend becoming a parent that young in general, but if you're ready for it, the youthfulness will allow you to do so much more as far as keeping up with the energy of a little kid goes.
Cuddle them.
I loved it so much when I cuddled with my mom, like she'd encourage it and she'd sometime initiate it.
My dad never did that... I guess that's just a mom-only thing?
I'm male so idk if in the future as a dad, if I can do the cuddling as good as a mom could lol.
Omg those memories make me UwU so much...
I remember my mom just letting me sleep in their bed... like... okay maybe western culture is more adverse to it, but I felt warm... I felt safe...
But now adulthood is here and I'm so sad lol...
the NOSTALGIA...
Also pls don't yell at them... my mom also yelled at me and then I feel so sad... cause me depression..
Oh yea this is why idk if I even wanna start a family...
Maybe if I secured my share of the inheritance... then I'd be stress free in starting a family...
But if I get disinherited... yeah then maybe it'll never happen... :(
I hated being cuddled or hugged. But I had high functioning autism, so....
