Expectations

Teenage mothers from the Rhondda - Katie and her baby

by Katie & Kayleigh


Our expectations of life are to be good mothers, pay our way through life, have a good job that we enjoy e.g. hairdresser, nurse or midwife, have a nice house and have a trustworthy and a loving family.

We know life won't be as easy, but we think it will be easier if we don't let it get to us as a problem but as a blessing.

We think if we make the most of life we will enjoy every minute of every day because things in life happen for a reason.

We expect to have a fair amount of money so that we won't run out. We will have jobs we enjoy and, hopefully, a job we'll be good at.

We both expect to be good mothers. Not to be big-headed, but we think we are good with children and we are looking forward to being mothers.

We are also aware that there are going to be bad points in life as well as good points.

We have been warned that it is our responsibility as mothers not to rely on other people so much.

We expect to have a trustworthy and loving family, because we don't expect to be cheated on.

We want to pay our way through life because nothing comes for free. We want to be proud of what we do in life and for the money we EARN.
