I thought, yeah girl I'm with you, I bet everyone stares at me and thinks 'she was a teenage mother' but I reality I think I have just realised that no one actually thinks that anymore.
Sure I WAS a 'young Mum' pregnant at 19 and spog out by the time I was 20, but now I'm 26 and I don't know if I can be classed as a 'young Mum' anymore? (The 'yummy Mummy' tag line is not being called into this debate as I need to stroke my ego a little bit.) Am I now just a 'regular Mum'?
I am knocking on 30 and although I like to think I am still a teenager (and act like it while wearing mini dresses) I think I need to face the fact that I am not 'young' anymore.
When I see giggling schoolgirls I look at them and think aww bless them, that was me a couple of years ago, NO, not a couple of years ago, 10 fricking years ago!
I feel like I am stuck in a time warp and my brain can't comprehend that I am not 20 anymore (not that I want to be, as I had a screaming child by then) but as I missed out on my 'young' years by getting knocked up, it's like my brain just stopped and said:
'Now you are forever young.'
I'm Peter Pan!
I don't want to grow up :( I don't want to take responsibility for my own actions, I'm too young!
I'm going to be that cool Mum, the one the boys fancy and the girls want to be best mates with (not the Mum from 'Mean girls' who tries too hard) I'm going to be hip, right? (By hip hopefully I won't pop a hip at the school disco when I help out.)
Please, someone tell me I'm still a young Mum!
