When Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham talks, we listen. The 27-year-old reality star got real with fans and followers about her daughter, Sophia, on her YouTube vlog on March 19, while she streamed to almost 4.5k viewers. She touched on what it’s like being a mom and what she wants her daughter to take away from her successes — and she reminded us all that it isn’t always easy. Scroll through the gallery to read what Farrah had to say about her daughter, Sophia.
“I’m doing this TV project right now and I got to learn so much more about my daughter, Sophia, and how I always feel like as mom — I’m kind of speaking to moms, some of you aren’t parents, I get it,” she began.

Wondering
“But I’m, like, wondering to myself,” she said. “Why is my daughter, like, straight up … like I wish Sophia all the best, I support her in everything she does, just when you kind of lie about your mom and you’re kind of like, ‘I don’t know how my mom got here, she’s just here, I’m just here …'”

Oh, Farrah!
“Just like, we all know that I’ve worked really, really, really hard … Like look, I’m working as hard as this chick is with the kayak right now,” Farrah comically panned her camera towards two kayakers in the water under the bridge she was filming on.

We’re Existing
“But I’m like, OK, so Sophia totally forgot she’s Italian, totally forgot she travels the world, totally forgot that her mom has a degree in what the focus is, I’m not gonna say, it doesn’t really matter, I guess. Nothing matters! We just all exist,” she got serious again.

Feelings and Vibes
“But I had, like, a vibe with Soph and I was like, ‘Just so you know,'” she revealed. “I’m, like, I never tell Sophia like, you hurt my feelings, you really have no idea how hard I’ve worked, but today, when she totally forgot, like, all this stuff that I strived through.”

The Show That Started It All
“Through, like, Teen Mom was a show, but I also had a real life,” she explained. “I was hustling, because to me, Teen Mom was just a show, but it’s changed the world. It’s still going and I’m grateful and thankful.”

Opportunity and Gratitude
“So Sophia now has this great opportunity, I love her so much, I’m supporting her in it, and when she was not understanding and not paying tribute or being grateful,” she said. “I think I have a big thing right now about gratitude in my life.”

Breakdown to Break Through
Clearly, she had a rough time getting to the lesson, but it was well received by her 10-year-old: “I was really hurt. I was really hurt today. But, through my breakdown … I got to see that Sophia heard me.”
