I love the community we’ve built over on Facebook. At over 300 400 members strong, we are a strong group of women, who are more just moms, even though we care deeply about our kids.
One of the best days of my day is when I get new comments or messages from members. This warms my heart.
So on Friday, Hailey Christine Roloff posted an item about her new site, Fighting Statistics. She designed it as a place where young parents can get together without judgment and get inspiration to help with their daily lives. In her words:
“This is our place to share our stories, give each other advice, as well as inspiration and hope.”
She inspires me because I love a woman who is a go-getter, who sees a need and goes out to fulfill it. She is a young mom herself, with a darling 3-year-old daughter.
I love what she has to say about young motherhood – it’s hard, but it’s worth it and we can be successful if we work at it.
“I wanted to start this site to get teen mothers to come together as one. We can all support each other in our efforts to succeed in our lives and our children’s future. The statistics out there are proof enough that it is hard, but we can’t give up. Let’s make our kids proud and overcome the nasty stereotypes that people put on us!”
So for all you teen moms who are looking for a place on the internet to call home, head on over to her and make yourself comfortable. Tell her the Young Mommy sent you!
