I am blessed. I feel bliss. In those moments, all is right with the world.” Instagram Jackson also disclosed that she decided not to hire a nanny to help her while raising her son as she believes it is her sole responsibility. “My mother did it.

I’ve always been a patient person, but there’s more patience that you have to have and I never knew I was as patient as I really am. He’s first and foremost in my life. I get up, I go to sleep—everything is about him. He comes first in my life."
