I am 21 years old and a mother of 2 children ages 10 months and 2 years, it is difficult sometimes and some days it could go better than others. Sometimes i sit in the dark crying because its so hard but then i have to remember that i have to little girls that need me and i got to get myself together. I just wanted to know are there other young mothers out there who is going through what i am going through.

I am a young mom I am 25 and have 5 kids. 8,7,5,2, and 3 months. My 8 and 7 year old are my step-children but I have been raising them since they were 2years and 6 months. It is very hard and you just have to hang in there. My step son has adhd and for years never had medicine, this was very hard, he has a very bad case. Sometimes I would lock my self in my bathroom and cry or scream, it's okay. I talked to my mom and she just laughed at me and said "well what do you think i did in my bathroom all those years" lol. The key is not to show it to the kids, just stay strong it will be okay.

well i am a married 23 year old with a 4 year old daughter and 19 month old son.yeah being a mother and wife can be stressful at times but i never break down.its really not all that hard to be a mom unless you are just trying way to hard,no offence just lighten up on yourself a little bit and have fun with it.and i also believe everymother may go through stress and cry but not because its hard...its only what you make it...

I'm 19 and married to a Marine. We have 6 mo. old twins. I know it can be hard, because sometimes I'm by myself with 2 kids who are the same age, wanting to be fed & changed & played with and I only have two hands. But babies/kids can sense when you are angry, sad, or stressed. And I know it's hard not to let it get to you, but things will be a lot easier if you just relax. Good luck!
