I hope to god I survive having a daughter...ya know 2 is bad...then there is 10..16...21..oh lord I'm dead....:crying:

But yeah it's just super hard...being younger and not fitting the mold of socker mom is rough on her and me of course...it seems alot of people (including my family) are waiting for me to fail...so when something like this does happen it seems that much worse...but ya know what? I'm young yeah..but I dont drink or do drugs...go out...leave her with strangers (hell I left her for the first time 3 weeks ago..and that was with my inlaws LOL..it was time for me to have a vacation 2.5 years with her daily was breaking me down :P) I might just be the mose boring 23 year old you have ever met...I feel 70 :eek: I'm just working hard to give her a child hood that is sound and normal..what I wanted...I think right now and ever since I had her I have been fighting to either change into what people want to see a mom be or stick to my guns and be me... its easier for me to slap on a long sleeved shirt (i have visible tattoos on my arms) dress down and go to the park or where ever and actually meet people and talk to people...then it is to go as me... at the same time I am teaching Raigen that she has to change herself to please others which is not what I want her to do...yet sadly she see's me do it often. I'm tired of hearing "you cant do *whatever* because your a mom now" I'm a mom now...but I'm not dead yet! Ah damn this thread hit nerve..I'll stop ranting and go bake some cookies and iron her clothes now :P

Be you and stick to your guns! It may seem hard sometimes but its worth it in the end. The feeling you get from not caring is sometimes the best because you never feel like you've betrayed yourself. I felt that way once and I realized that if you're you others will appreciate you and the pride you have from being you. (I know thats a lot of "you"s in a sentence sorry)

LOL of I agree... it's just hard when you think "ok..this is me and thats ok...but being me effects my toddler who doesnt see anything wrong with the world and doesnt have a choice" ya know? It's hard...but what I live by is..if you judge me by my looks then your really missing out and your not the sort of person I would want to be around or have my child around...
I hope she also grasps on to this idea when she is older...she has a beautiful spirit so I think she will...i love that lil brat :love:

I know people who judge a book by it's cover so to speak and miss out because of that and I also people who have lost their identity by trying to conform to the american eagle, hollister, cool persona. I hope your little girl doesn't have to deal with that but it sounds like she has a good mom to learn from so there probably won't be any problems.

Thanks! I also wonder if she will turn out cookie cutter preppy kid lol...knowing my luck she would and that would crack me up...although then I might be that embaressing mom...ah crap :P

Or she could end up the way I did, hiding a piercing from my parents and in the "badass" crew full of metalheads, druggies, freaks, alchies, hippies, and petty thieves. Take your pick :P

Oh trust me by 15 I was hiding alot more then 1 piercing :P I actually had alot of piercings they didnt find out about until I moved out... they did find out about a couple because some pictures leaked...dont ask.. and I had to remove them for some time... I was generally good kid..I didnt get arrested (because I never got caught) never skipped school (It was more fun to stay in school and drink) and made good grades (some how) and worked etc. I did hang out with a crappy crowd (the punks and emo kids) but just like now never let anyone rub off on me... To each his own...I just hope she is happy and becomes who she wants to be....not what America says she should :rolleyes:

Glad she's ok, I've got a kid on the way and I know how you feel. I'm 20 and my wife is 19. Besides wanting to prove everyone wrong on the "young marriages never work" we also want to show that we can be great parents. I have experience though! My sister was a horrible parent and basically popped out 3 kids and gave them to my mother, who was working two jobs to make ends meet, and I was working one job to help out, going to school, and then it was my job to take care of the kids. So I've got the basics down. Although I can't blame you, it'd be everything I could not to pass out if I saw that much blood had come outta my baby! **shudders**

I'm glad she's ok, show us pictures of her scar! Too bad you didn't get a picture of the wound! **shrugs** guess I'm just a normal, guy, I love the accident photos, my friend recently got his hand bit by his 3ft long caiman. He got his hand out (eventually) but talk about a wound! Nasty photo, but like train wrecks, I cant look away!

You'd be surprised at how screwed up the american education system is if you honestly thought it was possible to not make good grades in HS... lol:salute:

Yeah I'm barely squeaking by after I figured out that school is no fun sober. Maybe I'll try sobriety. Also, I am getting a couple more piercings done soon (once I'm done swimming and have a good chance at hiding them). Also lacrosse season has to end.
