Hello World. Calling all young moms!!! Here's the sandwich . . . fear, overwhelm, and yes . . . anger for getting yourself in the situation in the first place versus . . . an intangible, spiritual, and duty bound sense of instant obligation.

Hello, young motherhood.

The instant gravity is absorbed . . . and each moment afterwards is so very different. The undeniable, unbelievable, unshakable, responsibility, obligation, life and body sacrificing process . . . has begun. Ugh oh . . . now what?

Pray. Young girl . . . life pivot.

With the nations economic situation in an official and undeniable slump, with our education system needing tremendous restructuring, with food prices rising, rising and rising some more, with energy prices on a global tentacled roller coaster, and with university tuition costs becoming out of reach for the average American . . . my young mommas out there, are under tremendous pressure to hang in . . . and hold on!!!

Now look . . . we have all seen recent and consistent news reports of young mothers brutalizing, starving, smoking pot near, killing, and neglecting their children. Come on young mommas . . . I know you can do so much better than this!!!

Many young mom's are stressed . . . to the maximum. Most are starved of healthy parental affection. Someone, anyone . . . telling them they are cute . . . (don't get me started on he's cute) is all it took to bed them. Hence a guaranteed lack of respect "for" yourself . . . and "from" others.

Thinly veiled or sometimes very visible emotional desperation governs your young life. I refer to this as "Ugly Girl Syndrome." Regardless of your beauty, essence, and smarts . . . YOU believe . . . YOU are ugly. Constantly punishing yourself, and allowing others to do the same . . . is your normality. Stay with me . . .

I'm saying: girls, tweens, teenagers, young women, stop beating yourself and others up!!! You're already beat up!!! Young mom's facing the reality and gravity of their choices, loving and nurturing your precious babies, while loving themselves at the same time . . . is THE goal!!!

Motherhood is tough business. Young motherhood is in another stratosphere!!! There will be bumps, and frustrations. Battles within and between your youth . . . naturally craving to do what "non obligated" youth does, and the obligation . . . you, the young mother accepted, are constant and consistent. Expect it.

Hang in, and hold on young mothers!!! Go inside yourself. Go deep. Accept. Be willing to read all you can (self help). By any means necessary. Nurture you . . . and your children. Commit to constant learning. Yes . . . live WITH, and WITHIN your motherhood!!!

You're making the best of the difficult, and loving your children at the same time. This is a process, and takes time. I know you have to go because the baby is crying . . .

Hello, young motherhood.
