Growing up we learn through those who surround us in our child years, such as adult caregivers, our parental units and so many others, eventually as we get into school we start to learn things from our teachers and peers. Here are some things that I learned to think while growing up that I eventually changed my mind about:
What I used to think….
Having kids with more than one man meant you are a loose woman
What I think based on life experiences…
Life is too short to get caught up in stereotypes, I have different dads for my kids and am not a loose woman.
What I used to think….
Being on welfare, also called TANF, meant you are a low life crack head, drug or alcohol addicted parent.
What I think based on life experiences…
Being on welfare is a blessing, if used for it’s true purpose – to assist you in getting back on your feet from financial downfall.
What I used to think….
Girls are all about pink, dresses, being clean and frilly fun.
What I think based on life experiences…
Girls can be just as boyish as your sons and get just as dirty while finger painting, playing outside or similar.
What I used to think….
Working from home is just another way to be lazy.
What I think based on life experiences…
Working from home is 10 times more difficult than working an out of home job with a “real” schedule.
It is always good to readdress what you think you know. Life experiences help you grow and learn. I used to think parents shouldn’t allow children to use games or vedio devices when out at a restaurant until I had a child with autism and I learned that some children need these coping techniques and that the parents aren’t lazy.

I’ve pretty much always thought what you think based on life experiences. I’ll have to see what I’ve changed my mind on.

I use to think that being a stay-at-home mom was for weirdos and now I am one…stay-at-home mom that is, hopefully not a weirdo.

It’s funny how our viewpoints change over the years. As regards working from home it does have it’s bennefits, but it’s definately not for the lazy. I probably work more diligently now as I have to be accountable for the time I spend.
