Mama gotta have a life too
If you’ve ever seen Baby Boy you know the age old line by Jody’s mom Ms. Juanita “Mama gotta have a life too.“
Yes, mama has to have a life aside from pleasing her man and caring for her children. Who said that once you have a kid life has to stop. It doesn’t say give up your life for your kids in the Bible. Not to my knowledge. If you heard other wise let me know.
You can still be an amazing mom and have a social life.
Now I’m not saying that everytime you get a call from your bestie you should drop the kids off at granny’s house but we need a break from being depended on. Sometimes we just want to worry about us.
Don’t stone me!!
Lord knows if we don’t get away from the sound of the liitle voices screaming “MAMA” we’ll lose it.
Don’t lose it sweetheart. You have to stay fly, fabulous and focused. That requires the occasional night out with your fav chicks.
Make time for you!!! You deserve it…
Things to do this weekend.
- Check Groupon & Living Social
- Find a Fight Party (Pacquiao-Bradley June 9th)
- Hit up Bar Louie’s (Get the strawberry margarita)

Be open minded and have fun… It’s Chicago there must be something for you to do RIGHT?
Facebook Stat of the Day: Mother’s Make the World Go Around
I now get the full understanding of “it takes a village to raise a child” with or without the father involved the mother has to make so many sacrifices. I am so thankful for the support of family and friends. I have an even deeper respect for the ones doing it on their own, with more than one child working and or going to school. It takes a lot! Nothing taken from the fathers but mothers I salute you to the fullest!Smooches,
Ms. Danielle
Mother’s with Criminal Backgrounds Need Love Too
Ride of Die Chick, That was the song back in the day. Eve seemed liked the hard do whatever for her man type. Yeah that’s what a man wants a chick that’s willing to sit in jail why he finds another dying to be loved chick to take his next case.
That’s not what happens to all the women with criminal backgrounds but it would be foolish of us not to believe that men don’t play a vital role in women choosing to be apart of that life. In a society that seems to be embarrassing female leadership, we’re embracing the cynical behavior of women also.
Bad Girls Club, Mob Wives, Real House Wives of Wherever, Basketball Wives are all shows that magnify the emotional roller coasters of women. We are so much more then weave and lip gloss. We know that but when we enter a meeting will our business partners know that. For me this means we have to work 20 times harder than before to prove we deserve to sit at the board table.
Back to women with criminal backgrounds. How are these women suppose to enter back into society when the government won’t allow school loans, the last person a company wants to hire is a felon with a kid, they can’t even get section 8 in Illinois. Yes it was their choice to break the law but if we don’t want them to repeat the behavior we need to offer some type of help.
I know people with College degree’s that are doing nothing with them. People with great jobs that complain every day.
Do you know a woman that has successfully entered into the workforce with a background? Share the story with us. Someone needs some hope.
