My First Day as a Parent

1. In the "If I Became a Teen Parent" assignment, did the response you received from your parent/guardian surprise you?  Discuss.
• Not really, I've always known that my mom would be there for me, no matter how I messed up or what choices I've made to the best of her ability
2. What responses to the flour baby project surprised you? 
• When I went into a thrift shop to get my flour baby some clothes the day before the project, the cashier was looking at me strange. When I explained that I was in to get some clothes for a flour baby project a school she said "O good, I thought you were a teenage mom." Also, my dad's side of my family seem very distressed that I'm walking around with a fake baby, and that it's not really bothering me.
3. In what ways should we have started this project differently? 
• The only thing I wish we would have had is a "baby decoration day, which I guess we had in a way, but I thought the first day we brought our babies in, we were supposed to have everything ready. 
4. What was the most surprising about the "Baby Costs" project?
• The cost of formula, I had no idea how much it would cost, and how much a baby needed, because everyone in my family has always done breastfeeding.
