My future daughter is not going to go through what I did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.
I have learned that I have to slow down and appreciate that my daughter still needs me, still wants me to help her negotiate everything in her life.
I don't want my grandchildren to go through what I went through.
I'm very conscious of the fact that when I'm working, my daughter is not with one of her parents.
I hope that whenever my daughter has a negative experience, I'm there to talk about it and remind her how we feel when it's done to her so that she doesn't do it to others.
I was not prepared to live as a single parent.
I like to give my daughter some rope and let her make her own decisions.
But the truth is I wanted to have my daughter for so long. It's not the kind of thing you can visit, motherhood. Especially in the early years. Now she's eight, and I'm still not going to go anywhere.
If you can teach a child, then her family and her future is taken care of.
I think I'm going to have to live vicariously through my daughter's rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.
