MTV Teen Mom

I guess this is just a mom week for me and I have been thinking about the past year. My daughter Paisly was born on August 29, 2008; she was 21.1 inches long and 7 lbs 6.4 ounces. I remember her moving around in my belly and kicking as if it was yesterday and a week overdue. While driving to Freeman Hospital I thought “WOW this is my last day of freedom and driving ALONE” my life was about to change in the most significant way. I was so nervous that I had a high blood pressure and was on medicine to help keep me calm and the epidural did wonders.

To me a
mother is someone who cares for their child unconditionally from birth and puts her kids first. Paisly has always been my number one priority and I would do anything for her. One of the main reasons I have stayed in school is because of her and I want the best for our family. I have always had an interest in children and could not wait to have my own with the person I loved. It has all gone by so fast that I do not even know where to begin. I have always let Paisly sleep in bed with us especially after everything with my mother. I enjoy being at home with her and playing baby dolls, coloring, cooking etc...

After watching
Teen Mom, related some of my problems with Farrah, Catelyn, Maci and Amber. Although, I was not 16 and pregnant I felt at times I could not experience college life and “friend time.” I think that Farrah never spent time with Sophia and felt she needed to find a man to fulfill that father figure when she needed to focus on mommy time instead of her parents. I could not imagine being in Catelyn and Tyler’s shoes and giving my daughter up for adoption. I think about adoption and it makes me sick knowing I would not be spending Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday and milestones. I think it is a great decision for younger kids because it gives their child a better future. Maci is a great mom and defiantly tried to make Ryan happy and still manage school full time- working and a new mom. I think that it takes a very organized and responsible person to care for their child especially when he/she is up all night from teething, ear and bellyaches. It is tough at times. Words cannot express how irritate Amber made me on the show and how inconsiderate she was towards her fiancĂ© Gary. Gary always paid for her items that she needed or wanted and she had the audacity to yell at him. Seriously, why do men put up with that?

In conclusion, women are not your rulers. Especially if you are married, the woman should care for the husband as well. It is a bond between two people and woman should cook, clean and care for the children especially if the woman is a stay at home mom and the husband pays the bills. More information is in the book called:
“The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands.”

  1. I would totally agree with you in the semi-abusive relationships you see sometimes. I wouldn't condone the established gender rolls as a guide for all relationships though. They do typically work for most relationships but a female bread winner and stay at home dad could work too. So long as everyone is putting in an effort it will work out well.

  3. I would agree with that It takes two people to make things work. Weather the rolls are reversed or not. I would also agree with you about Amber!!!! Gary needs to man up a little and stand his ground.
