What's The Best Part About Being A Young Parent?

"I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom."

Being a young mom or dad can be a struggle sometimes, but it also truly has its perks.

Because being close to your kid's age means you kinda understand what they go through day-to-day, so you can actually be their friend.

And your ~young soul~ means you've got more energy than if you had a kid later in life. That means more activities!

Plus, when your babies have kids, you know you'll be a cool, young grandparent.
