The Real Life Story of a Teen Mom/Kylie&Mason

My friend sent me this article and I have a lot to say about it.  There were some good points but there were also a lot of things that I didn't agree with.  Here is the link to the original article  http://elitedaily.com/life/culture/dating-someone-with-kids/971143/ 1.They come first. Maybe not to you, but to him, they ALWAYS come first. The title of the first topic even bothers me. Yes, Mason comes first but I hope and pray that if I am in a serious relationship that Mason would come first to my boyfriend/husband too.  I want someone that will love Mason like their own.  If Mason doesn't become a priority to them then it is not going to work out.  In the article she says that "second place: This is where close members of his family reside. This is the place he reserves for family or as-good-as family."  I totally disagree. I don't put a boyfriend in the same category as my family and friends.  They have their own category. 2. Dinnertime is ...

I have been avoiding blogging about this topic for awhile but I have been getting asked this a lot.  "How do you deal with your baby daddy's girlfriend around your child?"  I feel like I am in no way an expert on this subject.  I am not going to give any details on my personal experiences, because I am sure the other parties would not appreciate it.  But I can give you my opinion and answer it to the best of my ability.  You first have to realize that it is a two way street.  If you want to date other people they can too.  Also if you can bring your significant other around your child then they can too, unless in some way it is not safe or healthy for your child to be around them.   Also people have made the comment to me that they get jealous of the girlfriend being around their child.  In my opinion you shouldn't feel that way at all.  I am Mason's mom and no one can come close to that.  Being a single mom I think Mason and I ha...

Teen Mom has been doing a special on the "original girls" where they go back and look at all over their footage over the years.  (Yes I am a fan of the show Teen Mom).  As I was watching a little bit of one of them, I thought, thank goodness my life was not taped.  It would have been nice to have all of those stages in Mason's life taped but there were so many painful times in the past few years that I don't want to remember or relive.  I have realized that I have honestly blocked so much of it out of my head because I don't want to remember it.  That is how I am living a happy life because I just block out the bad. I would be living in so much pain and resentment if I thought about all of it. I am also glad that my life wasn't taped because I don't want everyone to see what I went through.  I would rather everyone think my life was easy.  I am the type of person that could be having the worst day but no one is going to know about it.  I am goin...
