Seriously almost all of my friends have kids now and no one has time to hang out anymore. This is bullshit and must stop!

      Thanks I guess that explains years of gaslighting and ghosting instead of just talking to us since we were supposedly such good friends. We weren’t pushing them on anybody. We had a sitter. People just stopped inviting us.

      The few friends that stuck with us just made some clear boundaries up front and we’ve been cool for over a decade. It’s not hard.

        That blows. I'm not a huge fan of kids but playing the fun uncle for a few hours every now and then is pretty cool. It kinda sucks though when I go see a buddy I haven't seen in a year and they have to deal with the kids till 8pm and then be in bed 10. I don't work so I can hang out when ever but it can still be extremely hard to schedule things with parents. In another few years though I hope things will be easier, 8 years olds can entertain themselves enough to actually chill with your friends.

      What if those babies are your little brothers or sisters, then do you wanna hang around with them?
