I know a lot of people are blogging now... so many there are movies about it. But I guess I must be old, because I'm still unsure of why it's so vastly popular.
Here I am, though. This is my blog about what it's like to be a young mom. I drop my kids off everyday at their private school, and most days I try to get there early. Why? Because I am the only one who doesn't come in full make up, office attire, hair done (most of the time) and I'm only 24. The first day of school a mother there actually asked me if I was my son's babysitter and allowed to bring him in. Not only was it embarrassing, but it really ticked me off. Is that really anyone's business anyway? Just rude. The reason I don't come in scrubs or a pencil skirt and heels is because A- I chose to stay home and not work, and B- I don't care if I look pretty to take my son to school.
Now to present. It's January, and I'm still the only mom who doesn't get stopped to talk walking in and out of the school. I still have moms looking at me like I'm just the babysitter. I'll be honest... it bothers me.
Welcome!
Hello! i had my first son when I was 19, and even though I was married, I've always felt like people looked at me differently because of my age. When I had my second son and got divorced-wow! Then came baby number three with a marrige to her father a few months later. One day in the store I heard old ladies talking about me. It was hurtful. Being judged just because I was a young mom of more than one kid just didn't seem right. My oldest is 5, and I still feel that way. Anyone else?
