She also recalled who determined she was to be a mother that Maddie "could be proud of".
"I wanted to make sure (she knew) that it wasn't her fault that she got a mom who was 16 and pregnant. So, I wanted to make sure I did everything right. I think I was a bit of a helicopter parent", she told People Magazine.
Jamie Lynn also revealed that Maddie will start college in August: "I'm so proud of her and everything she's done, but I also cry in the car because I'm not going to have my baby home every day. She's always going to be my baby".
