Young Mothers Can Be Great Mothers

The mother was young
Some judged her
Thinking she would be a bad mother

She was kind and compassionate
She listened to her children
She was a fabulous mother

The judgers went off to judge others
Leaving her alone
To enjoy and nurture her children
Who felt beloved thanks to her empathy and kindness

People judge everyone and everything, i can imagine this mother getting judged. I am not so old and i have a 15 year old and i always get told what i should do and not do, which kind of gets really frustrating. I loved your title and how you’ve written about this brilliant

I was a young mother, so I get resentful when someone says "what do you expect? They are a young mother" because I was a very good young mother
