I’ve been a mom for a year and 2 months. Its been the craziest year of my life. I’ve also learned so much! As a new mom, and as a mom in general, we like to help other fellow mothers. So whether you have a newborn or a 5 year old, or even a 15 year old, here are a few things I’ve learned so far from being a mama.
Kids are assholes. Yes even your kid. Not to offend anyone or anyone’s children, but as a mom, we can all laugh at this one. Newborns even can be assholes. They don’t know it, of course, but every baby has a personality. It’s their way of growing and eventually when they get one or two years old, is when you’ll start to understand this concept a little more. I watched my one year old daughter flush her toy. I’ve watched her smear poop on her face. Right now I’m watching her play with a spatula from the cabinet that I always tell her not to go in. She’s an asshole for that.
Let them learn. Whether it be the hard way, or easy way. One time my daughter would not stop trying to climb out of her playpen. I kept popping her hand and telling her no, but that didn’t work. So I let her fall. She cried for a second. We have carpet so all was good, but it taught her a lesson. At least I hope it did. Sometimes you have to let kids learn hands on, or they will never know.
Don’t get so stressed. When your kid starts crying in the middle of a grocery store, you look around embarrassed. Then you hear people mumbling and whispering “God I wish they would control that kid!” It’s perfectly okay. Let the kid cry and scream and keep and keep shopping. We as mothers, can not worry about the little things like that. Those people will all learn one day when they become parents. Sometimes even a good ass whooping in public is what they need. Caution though, people will talk bad about you because most don’t believe in whoopings anymore. When your baby is screaming and you’ve done all you can do, don’t start to panic. Look up some music on YouTube. Sing them a song. Offer more bottle or food. Just don’t stress so much. They won’t even remember this.
For all the young mothers
