Discipline!

Regardless of what you have been told,children need discipline.if they do something that you, as their parent, tell them not to then they should have punishment for it.they need to learn that once boundaries are set then they need to follow them.maybe not follow them exactly but close enough.
I have a son who loves cell phones.but the only way he can get a new one is one of two ways:1.he breaks one of the phones he has or 2.he behaves for at least a week or two.for his reward he can choose either another phone or a portable charger to go with it.depending on our price range at the time.
Do I believe in spanking? Yes I do.it is the best and quickest form of punishment a parent can do.I don't do the whole going to bed hungry thing.my husband is gone mostly as he is in college so the punishments fall on me.
I love my kids and I do not want to see them as theives or in jail for disrespecting a cop or something.I may be considered old-fashioned by today's standards but honestly your opinion doesn't matter to me.

Can you handle it?

I hear stories about women wanting to have children but if they find out that these children have any kind of disability then they give the child away.that is heartbreaking! Let me tell you that in my household I have to wear glasses,and deal with epilepsy,my husband wears glasses and has glaucoma and my eldest son has had to have cataract surgery and shunt surgery and he is five years old now.my youngest son is only three months old and just had his first surgery a few weeks ago.he has cataracts as well.
My entire family has disabilities but I am not ashamed of either of my boys.I know that they are different then most their age and will possibly be picked on later in life but I would not change them for anything.I love them both.of you do not want a child even though he or she has disabilities then you are not ready to become a parent.a real mother will love her children regardless.
A real mother does what is best for her children.that includes accommodate for their disabilities and still love them with all her heart.of you cannot handle it then please, don't reproduce.

Ready to be a mother?

So you think you want to have kids and you have had the discussion with your partner or boyfriend and let's say that he is on board so what is next?
Well,when you do get pregnant,you will have to deal with 1.wierd urges 2.heartburn of some kind 3.swollen ankles 4.sore back 5.restless sleep 6.watching your body gain weight 7. Relentless kicking from inside your body 8.labor pains 9.recovery which is painful.
So are you ready now? You will also deal with never having personal space anymore,never pee alone anymore, never get to fully sit down and eat.
But before you start freaking out.you will get the joy of holding a sweet baby fall asleep on you.the sweet moments when they are older and when they tell you they love you and awesome things like that.

Being a mother is the most stressful yet loving job there is out there.❤
