I want to make my music and be a happy woman a good wife a good mom and one day hopefully have a child of my own.

Sure my childhood was unusual. All these eccentric wild people frequented our home: rock stars drag queens models bikers freaks. But I was not this little rich girl. My mom and I lived in an apartment.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

I think I've become more like my mom just because of what we're both interested in children and teaching and writing.

I was brought up as an only child and we were very close. But when I was 14 we got evicted. We came home to a padlock and I looked up at my mom and she was crying and there was nothing to do.

My mom had me when she was 16 and I was an only child which is probably why I received a lot of love and didn't miss that my father wasn't around.

I always wanted to be a young mom but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.

Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days... or a few months after childbirth.

Mom was the greatest influence of my childhood. She wanted to save me from the vice lust and drinking that was all about me.

My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood you know what I mean but it made me strong.
