about

I'm a mom of two, who has had her share of problems, and likes to help others with their own. I love helping people, and knowing that I can make a difference. I can't help with everything, but I'll always try to make people smile and just feel good about themselves. I've had more than my share of family drama and problems; what with my parents coming from two different and clashing cultures. I've also moved around a lot and had to deal with changing schools and all the trauma of making new friends and fitting in. I'm good with questions about friends, relationships (love, family..you name it), tough decisions, technology, and other weird random questions.
I'm a great listener, but I make sure to understand both sides of the story as well.

advice

So I'm 15 and I want to be pregnant... I don't know what to do...btw I'm single. For the past couple months I've wanted to have a baby... I need some advice! Please help!!!

I am a mom of two wonderful little boys, and although I love them with all of my heart they are a handful and can drive me absolutely insane. I am 27 right now and had my first at 23. Believe me when I say you are by no means ready for a baby. You may feel like you are, you may want one with all of your heart, but you are not ready. Trust me. Once you have a baby any freedom you have is out the window. Hanging out with your friends at night to watch a movie or go out for dinner...you can't. Baby has to be home early for bedtime. Then there's all the expenses: food, clothes, DIAPERS! They go through A LOT of diapers, and they are not cheap.

I dreamt of having kids from 9th grade, but I am so thankful I never had any before I did. Some days I wish I waited and I was 23!!!

So please, wait until you are at least out of high school, preferably out of college, and in a serious committed relationship. Having children is wonderful, but it is also filled with screaming, yelling, poopy clothes, catching throw up with your bare hands, and never having a free minute to catch your breath (and that's while being in a committed relationship). It's a 24/7 job so think long and hard about whether you are ready to give almost everything up.
