Today is my “baby’s” birthday

Published by mamanet16 at 9:29 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Hid 20th birday.  It is so hard to believe that it was 20 years ago today that he was born. I was 19 when I had him and I didn’t know crap. (I hope my mother doesn’t read this and think “I told you so”).  I was having fun waitress/hostess by day and party animal by night.I looked older than my age so I was already going into clubs/bars. (Jeez now I really hope she doesn’t read this). Of course the laws and enforcement of the laws were not as tough as today.  I was not even carded until I turned 22. I thought I was having the time of my life.  Well, oops, and there it is. I was taking birth control pills, in fact 2 times (out of 3) I was taking the pill and got pregnant. That’s my luck.  And lucky it was. I was turning into something of an alcholic. I grew up quite quickly. No more partying and no more drinking. My child deserved more than that. His father, whom I had been with for 2 1/2 years, was too busy with his life and I later found out was screwing anything that moved.  And my son deserved better than that. So I gave him the best I could. We didn’t have much money but we had a roof over our heads and he always had food to eat.  He was loved and didn’t need monetary items to prove it.   I learned alot very fast but still, sometimes, feel like I don’t know crap.  I guess we all do. My life was blessed with a beautiful baby boy and I will be forever grateful for that.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

    Happy Birthday to your baby–
    And happy RE-Birth to you. It is always a blessing to hear someone admit to their mistakes and to find that they have learned from them and made life better for themselves. I am sure he/she is very proud of you.
