What Why


How is it that some people

take Parenting and child development classes 

in high school 

and they are the ones to take the full

time job of parenthood first

 

There are the ones who do it right after they 

graduate for the class 

the one that are 18 and younger mothers 

 

I dont blame the class i blaim the

mindset of youth

They think they can handle any job

but this is one that is to big 

and its a life long one

 

mothers in their early 20s  

although they have jobs and are

a litle more prepared 

but are they truelly ready for the challenge

 

so how do we determine when a mother and father 

are ready for the journey

although it is up to the people

are they trully ready for all it takes

i guess it depends on the person
