11. What is the most difficult challenge or health issue that any of your children have faced? Rather not share

12. What's your favorite part of being a mom? I do like being a mom. My fav part would have to be when we can play board games/video games, and hang out. I do not like being the discipline mommy.

13. Do you think it's easier to be a mom or a dad? Depends on which one stays at home or both work. In my situation, it is more difficult to be the Mom. Due to the restrictions that are on me everyday. I would not change it for anything though!

14. What is the best piece of advice you could give to someone who is about to have their first child? Keep it at one! hehe...well to each there own! But be prepared, mentally. Right when you think things are going well, someone gets a fever, one if fighting with the other...so on.... it is not to be taken lightly. You are the one who teaches and shapes this little person into the adult they will be....you will be surprised at how much they learn from you.

16. What's been the biggest surprise about motherhood? No privacy!

17. Are there things you miss about life before kids? Yes. I married at 19 and had Joey at 20. If I could go back, I would have waited a year longer. Just to have some more one on one time with my husband.

18. How many children do you have? 3 boys

19. Do you plan to have any more children? NO! If I do, yell at me okay?

20. Who's the mom that you admire most? I really don't know. I just try to be the best mom I can be while staying the person I am. I guess I admire the mom who will not change who she is because she is a mom. To be true to yourself and stay a mom is the healthiest way to raise a child. Stay true to yourself.
