Toddlers can be a hand full, but we still love them Right. There are blogs that I have readed about the right and wrong ways to raise your children. To me they just don't work and some are down right stupid. I kind of just read them for new things to try with my daughter for discipline. but none work. She not a bad child or anything but then again we have been discipline her since she was 1 years old and now she is 3 it has worked. Well here are 4 easy things that worked for us and I think that every mom and dad should know. Some might seem mean but they work for my family and they might work for you.

1) Everyone says always keep an eye on and always shadow your kids... Well don't you like your free time. I know I do. well so do your kids. Give them an hour to play by themselves a day and they will do just fine. check on them ever once in awhile just to see how things are going. Kids need to learn how to be creative and independent.Yes there might be a mess after but that leads me to

Everyone has told me that when they turn 3 it get hard. But it has been a month and it great. She it Potty trained and learning to read, and ride her bike. Being the daughter of a teen mom she is doing great her doctor is so happy on how well she is doing wonderful. She is the light of my life and I'm glad I had when I did. She has made me who I am.

I have never regret get my Daughters ears pierced. like all the women in my family we had our ears pieced at a young age. I thank my parents every day for getting them done.and so does my daughter. in my mind Baby girls should have there ears done.

Being a teen mom has it ups and down, but I would not trade it for anything. My little girl is my world and is so smart. and the past three years have gone bye so fast. I have done everything to make our lives better and plan to continue to do it. I have never bought her love and I never will!! Many people see teen moms as being stupid, or always going to parties, etc..... but not me. One i hate parties and i don't do anything without my daughter. we go to the park on a weekly bases and stay for hours, car shoes, or the mall and window shop. And yes i said car show, she has grow very attached to her stepfather and they have a great love for old cars. there are many other things that we do but those are just a few. I love her and all her little things she does.

Life after Abuse can suck, you my go through a period of crappy relationships r you go through life long depression. For me it was both! I was so depressed i cried every night and i had so many mental scares. We had been together for three years. We had a Daughter together and right after she was born it started the hitting, yelling and most of all him calling me fat and that i was a slut I had a New Boyfriend five months after I broke up with the abusiveman (also the father of my daughter). And this New guy turned out to be as bad as the other. I wasStraighting my hair and he grab my Straighter and burn my shoulder. I throw him out that day.then I found and old friend! he has brought me out of the hole that i dug. i still have problems , but they are getting better. like he will go to kiss me and i flinch and pull away. or he will bring his hand up to fast and i freak out. And know my little girl is going through the same thing with her father, for example i just bought her a new

Yes it true. I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 105 pounds. Before i had my daughter i weighed 90 pounds and my doctor still told me i was too fat. I have tried for two years to lose the last 15 pounds. Three days after my daughter was born i took here to here first appointment and the doctor told me she had gained to much weight. She is three and weighs 34 pounds and she is still "fat". I have taken her to four doctor and they all say the same thing. Why do people think if you have a few extra pounds your fat or obese? i was on the other side and i was anerxic. And everyone thought I looked better then, than I do now. and how is it that my daughter fat when she almost never eats?
