Womanhood and Everything in Between

...is very hard. As in very very hard. I don't know where I went wrong. Angela seems to grow away from the values that we are teaching her. She's becoming unmanageable. This morning, her yaya told me that the reason why she doesn't go with us to church is because she doesn't believe in God. Whoa! That hit me...hard! =( I have no idea where she got that. I don't know who taught her that, whoever you are, I'll deal with you soon. But first, I have to do something with my daughter. Although she's normal most of the time, she scares the hell out of me when her tantrums kick in. That's when she becomes unruly.

Me: Yes, baby. A: Thank you, Ma! I love you, too. See...that was sweet..and smart. She was like 2 years old at this picture. Oh, I forgot the exact date.                                      ...
