Leave New Moms Alone

When I was out of high school and in college, I finally realized that I was not going to care what anyone thought of me. I decided to become selfish and thought to myself that in the end I’m the only one that is there so why is my happiness not the most important? It is, and it’s always going to be. In that sense, I’m thinking it’s great to be selfish, but, when you add a child to the mix…they are the most important. They did not ask to be here, they are not an accessory, they are a human being that you have to mold into society. Their happiness is most important, in my opinion. Making my son and fiancé happy is what makes me happy. Knowing I’m a good mom and care for everyone and showing love makes me happy. I never understand when women say they love a man and they are staying with them because of that reason alone. Whether he be abusive physically or verbally or just plain rude…why stay? Be selfish and leave but don’t be selfish and stay. Your children are what makes the world go round and they should never be victim to abuse or even watching it happen. Their happiness is what matters in this situation. I would kill to keep food on the table for my son and I would never let him know it. As a mom, you think for your children and then yourself.
