Today my son turned seven, and I turned 23. Yes, I had him on the day I turned 16. Many of the choices I made when I was a teenager were beyond foolish, and I still have my regrets. And even though I know I’ve grown, I sometimes I get worried that I’m bringing my son up wrong—that I’m somehow subconsciously passing my past foolishness on to him.
But today I took him to the park to celebrate our birthdays. 384Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPK9RlNGb

he pointed to her and said, 384Please respect copyright.PENANAWC9bBFihMA
‘She’s really pretty and cool!’
Which left me thinking, 384Please respect copyright.PENANAyzCruQpIHn
‘I must be doing something right as a mom.’
