I've always wanted to have a little girl. There is a cycle in our family that I want to break. The mothers in this family don't get along with the daughters. My Grammy didn't get along with her mother, my mother doesn't get along with Grammy. Then there is me and my mom. Only difference with my mom and me is that I know that my mom loves me, but she never really learned how to talk to me, we are not close at all. She was quite young when she had me, still just a young girl herself, so that didn't help either. But I know that my mom did the best with what she was given to her by Grammy. It's hard to show love if you yourself weren't shown the love that you needed to help you grow. My baby brother though, that is a different story. He and my mom are very close. The women in this family love their baby boys! And at 19 (I know, hardly a baby, but he will always be my baby brother!) he is good kid. Spoiled like you would never believe, but a good kid. He just needs to find a job!
Statistically I should have followed in my moms footsteps. The majority of young girls having babies, the girls usually end up having babies at a very young age too. I, however, am one of the few that has learned from my own parents mistakes. I didn't want to end up like my mom, not like it's a bad thing. I just didn't want to be a statistic. And now here I am 37 years old, and still without any kids.
