A little FUN!

There are many things that i have changed my mind about over the last three years. One of these things is having fun and being a young parent. I used to think that once you were a parent everything changed and your life revolved around your child. I don't believe in that anymore. i think that even though your a mother or father you should be able to go out and have fun with friends and family.

When i first had my son i would stay home everyday and hung out with my siblings and boyfriends. This was okay for the first few months when i my son was just a baby. i then realized that that everyone was out every weekend having fun,partying or simply just hanging out with friends.Then i thought it wouldn't be so bad to hang out with my high school. Going out for dinner, movies or a drink didn't mean i was irresponsible or a bad mother to my son.Once my boyfriend and i started to go out again it felt so good to be alone from time to time. My son loved spending more time with his grandparents. 

I  have now changed my opinion on parents who go out and have fun, I don't think this changes the way they parent their kids. It is very healthy to have a family member watch your child while you go out and have some fun from time to time. No matter how old you are or how many kids you have, everyone needs a social life. It took me a while to see these things in a different way. I now have fun with friends and even take my son out with me and it doesnt change anything. We should all have a little fun!
