Single Mom Empowerment Expert. Woman of courage, destiny and purpose.
This list is strictly for fun. I live my life with no regrets, and feel that having kids don’t stop no show.
Here’s a list, in no particular order, of things that I wish I’d done before having kids.
1. Screened the daddy – Nuff said.
2. Posed nude – For memories only. Those memories would remind me how much more I love my body now than I did then.
3. Become a millionaire – I wouldn’t have had to work so hard or so much while raising the kids. Oh, well, having kids may have slowed me down, but they haven’t stopped me.
4. Dated – I was a teenager when I got pregnant, a teenager when I got married, and a teenager when I had three kids. I should’ve been doing something else with my time.
5. Traveled – Maybe I should’ve met a millionaire and traveled, instead of worrying about becoming one.
6. Used birth control – See #1
7. Bought a house – That way my kids could play their music like they’re in ‘da club’ without anyone complaining.
8. Researched how to raise teens without getting a murder rap – I made it, but there were times when my first- and last-born took me to the brink.
9. Lived in a dorm room – Then I would’ve been in college on the fast-track to becoming a multi-million-dollar CEO of my own company. Better yet, I should’ve finished high school first. But, that’s another story for another time.
10. Retired – By then I would have accomplished all of the above. That way I could’ve kicked back and chilled while raising the kids, instead of working, going to school… all while dealing with li’l knucklehead kids.
