Hey I'll be 26 at the end of the month!!
I actually get that a lot. I'm 25 have a 3 y/o and a 1 y/o. So I was 22 when my 1st son was born.
My sister tells me, "oh I forgot you were so young! You're still a baby!"
But in a cute fashion.
I get a lot of people that don't take me seriously. They think because I'm 25 that I don't know jack about the world.
I've had people tell me that "MY" generation is a bunch of spoiled kids who get everything from their parents. I was in shock.
I have seriously had to put people in their place about it before. Not strangers but people who have been around my family for years.
I try to ignore it most of the time because I know me. I know the life I have had up until this point. I know the blood, sweat, and tears I've shed in my life to get to where I am.
I'm a (almost) 26 y/o mother of two.
I moved out on my own when I was 16, with no help.
I've been beaten, abused, and worse
I've been homeless
I've starved,
I've been alone,
I have moved 34times in the last 10 years.
I've survived Hell
I now have a wonderful family, we own a house, have no debt, and I am the money lady.
So Be proud of you, ignore the jerks. YOU know
