Motherhood is just a stage for matured ladies where they need to get married to that particular person they love wholeheartedly.

Being a mother of one isn't an easy task, we all know how our mom strived about us while we are still at tender age. Talking about parenting, Mothers take a huge percentage out of it. Let assume Parenting is 100%, we have mother role to be 70%. Mothers struggles for us. Before we become grown up to this stage, we can count the number of food we have actually eaten. The amount of food prepared my our various mum in a year is uncountable. I won't be going into that today, that would be discussed some other time. The topic before us is "Early Motherhood" I had little experience about early motherhood until I read an article from @emily2u . She wrote basically on Early Motherhood. After Going through her write up, she stated the ups and downs in early Motherhood. She made mention of an old friend of hers, which they have departed right from when they went in school. She said and I quote that this her particular friend had her first pregnancy at the age of 16, and that it's not new to them because this particular girl has been surrounded with so lot of male friend since 12 years. And we all know what that basically mean.

Struggles of Early Motherhood

We had a particular tenant back then, though they are gone now, as in they already have their own house now. But when they were still with us, they had a particular girl named "Florence" Florence was just 17 years old that particular year. And it's about some years from now. Florence didn't attend school. She stopped at Basic 6, and then her parent's told her to find a trade to learn, and she did, by learning "Fashion designer" since she has started this work, she has been very serious. But all of a sudden, she became a girl that comes home with boys in the afternoon. They cook and then eat together, they both leave together to their working shop. On the long run, she became pregnant and then she delivered in peace.

The day when she was in the labor room, was the day we saw the husband, and since then, we haven't seen him till we speak. Her parents were supporting her in some food stuffs which the baby will need, and they all are doing well without seeing the father of the baby. After some months Florence begin to attend shop again, but while going to shop, she do leave the baby for her Mom, so that, grandma will take care of the baby for her. And that's how it keep going peacefully.

But Behold, the baby was a male and he was named "Daniel" Daniel has started school and he's doing well. But Florence is really struggling to meet the needs of that her baby because she had no husband, the husband ran Away. She has been striving, and God has been helping her. She became a boss on her own, and then she started gaining her balance back, without the father of the baby.

Merits of Early Motherhood

All that have disadvantages must have slight advantages. According to what i said above, I said they were our tenants, and that they are already in their own house. So Florence, and her son "Daniel" including their grandparents, they left for their own house.

As we speak now, according to my dad's last conversation with them, Daniel is in 300level in the university and he's about to finish as a graduate............... Here's where the advantage come in, if that boy end up becoming a graduate and have a good job afterward. The father of the son will then find a way to get close to the son. Meanwhile,he has rejected the boy long ago. The mother "Florence" will eventually eat the fruit of her labour because she really struggled for that particular son, without no father.

Conclusion

As a male, don't go into early marriage, and then as a lady, don't fall in love with a guy that you think he's not capable. Just imagine in this case, where the lady was left alone to cater the needs of the boy.
