The teen about her relationship with the toddler:
23 months ago my dream came true, Mieka was born. I had always wished for a baby sis.
At first when I heard my mom was pregnant, I was like, “Oh my word! I’m 15 and my mom is 40.” And I also thought that was a bit late to get another baby.
I was an only child and it wasn’t always easy. There were a lot of games that were hard to play; like catch. THAT WAS TIRING!!
When Mieka wants to play catch in a few years I would love to play, but will probably have back pain or something because of the age difference.
I love Mieka to bits and I will do anything for her. I will beat anyone who messes with her and I will even give up my afternoon naps to watch her.
A lot of teenagers are getting pregnant, not that I was planning to get a baby, but when Mieka came into the picture I realized that having a baby is very hard work. I have decided that if I planned on having a baby it would be in my 30’s.
I love walking with Mieka in the malls when my mom is not around, because people always look at you and think that Mieka is my baby. I once heard a woman saying to her friend that I was a slut. All I could do was smile at people’s perceptions.
All & all I love Mieka. She is the best thing that ever happened to me!
