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. 486Please respect copyright.PENANA1MHPwb0ha8

he pointed to her and said, 486Please respect copyright.PENANAvivMZ1m6wT
‘She’s really pretty and cool!’
Which left me thinking, 486Please respect copyright.PENANArTrlYuAjGj
‘I must be doing something right as a mom.’
