I really think it's important that becoming a mother is seen as a special role that should move you (woman or teenager) to take charge and be tenacious and assertive for yourself and most of all for your child. This would also help protect many children today from very bad choices later in life, because they learn from what the mother does with her situation.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874222644692491442noreply@blogger.com
