Going Out

I often wonder if I am too old to go out. I am a very social person and I enjoy getting together with my friends, drinking a little, talking about old times and just having fun. The enjoyment I get from going out is because I get to dress up in clothes you can't wear every day and hang out with friends. We can be as loud as we want and dance all night if we feel like it. My boyfriend, however, has a problem with me going out. He doesn't understand the fact that I am not out there trying to meet new guys. He doesn't realize that the sole purpose to hang out with my friends is just that, hang out. Since being in a relationship for the past two years and having my second son, I have changed. I understand that I can't go out very much and I am fine with that, but I wonder if once a while is fine. Working, going to school, carrying on a relationship, keeping up with the houswork, and most importantly being a good mother to two precious sons is tough work. I enjoy, but every once in a while, I like to get out and be around my friends. I call it MY TIME. Other people may want to read a book or go to the spa. I enjoy going out. I ran into an old friend a while ago and she works at a club. She is similar to me. She has two kids and isn't married (I'm pretty close to it though). She works at a club as a shot girl. She dresses in skimpy clothes and passes around drinks, and that is one of her three jobs. Now, I don't want to have to do that. I want to be married and happy and have a great life with my husband, my kids, and everything that comes along with marriage, but I still want to be able to have MY TIME every now and again. I just hope my boyfriend and I can agree on it one day.
