About the YoungMommy

I created this site in May 2008 because I was pissed off.

No matter what magazine I picked up, what website I visited, what book I read, I couldn’t find anything about the 20something mom experience.

All the parenting magazines, websites, books presented motherhood as this glorious experience with days filled with sunshine and chocolate covered joy.

But let’s be honest. As a 20something mom, I don’t have $500 to spend on a stroller and I don’t have a ton of ”mommy friends” to go to for advice when I’m thisclose to jumping off the roof.

Popular culture would love for you to believe that young, smart, responsible moms don’t exist. But they do. I’m proof. I care about my kids as much as any 30- or 40-year-old mom could and I do everything I can to make sure they’re taken care of.

I created this site as a space where moms could speak the truth about 20something motherhood, whatever that means for you. Whether married or single, black or white, middle class or poor, we’re all 20something moms. Let’s share our story!
