Baby Number 2…..

Honest opinions …. Is it easier with baby number 2 or harder?? I adore our LO but I can’t help think another would be so hard to manage? A few say it’s so much easier with 2 as your used to it so I thought I’d ask … 👀

No control

Nobody is tryna control their kids. I don't feel but life is way far more important than just having sex shit its so much going on in this world & at a teenage level they need to focus more on their studies instead of having something stuck up their vaginas 💯🤷🏾‍♀️
