Comments on: you make me better http://www.theyoungmommylife.com/2009/11/25/you-make-me-better/ a real look at a 20 something mom Fri, 10 Feb 2012 06:23:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=309 By: T http://www.theyoungmommylife.com/2009/11/25/you-make-me-better/comment-page-1/#comment-7343 T Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:02:48 +0000 http://www.theyoungmommylife.com/?p=1445#comment-7343 I've learned more from my four month old than from any of my college professors. I've learned that planning and organizing is the key to surviving parenthood, as is patience and love. When I was pregnant without a clue I the world of how to be a mom a friend dropped a little golden nugget of knowledge on me: be the kind of mother you always wanted. Whatever that means. If you mom was a great mom like mine then follow her examples and take her advice. If she wasn't the best she could've been then learn from her mistakes. I've also learned that its ok to make mistakes sometimes. Children are very forgiving and half the time they don't even know you are doing something wrong. Also, kids are like sponges, so I've learned to curb my bad habits. And I take lots of picture cuz these lil ones grow so fast! And finally I've learned to take a lesson from my four month old and just chill. Enjoy life. Take it easy and let someone else do all the work every once in awhile :) I’ve learned more from my four month old than from any of my college professors.

I say this because time goes by so fast and before I knew it, my son started Kindergarten, and my daughter is already 8 months old. So definitely am reminding myself about how this all can fade away in the blink of an eye. Take lots of pics, stuff my face when I can(with more sugar than anything!), showers have to be taken when you want to sleep, make your kids feel special, hug them tight for no reason at all...& just let go of all the extra sugar honey...!! Make it as simple as possible! Since becoming a mom 5 years ago(@18), I am only NOW just starting to realize the actual saying “life is short”.

Kids slow you down tremendously, and sometimes it makes me miss being able to just get up and go, but they have taught me about patience and taking it slow. I have learned that I don't have to overreact. I am a calm person, but I become frustrated very fast when I cant' get business taken care of the way I want it and when I want it done. Now that I have two toddlers, I am learning that sometiems it is what it is becasue with kids, you always have a mess to clean, or behavior to correct. I've learned to focus on how I react to my children's behavior. It keeps my home calmer and happier. It also translates to the outside world, because I'm learning to be more patient with people on a daily basis. I’ve learned that it’s ok to take things slow.
