I feel that, I don’t have kids and I’m not planning on ever having them. And most of my friends did. The dynamic obviously changed overnight and reaching out to them feels very one sided at the moment. I understand obviously, but it’s never gonna be the same.
The idea of having the parents get a sitter for an evening is nice, I should try it someday.
Sounds rough. I’m in a weird opposite basket. I feel like less than half of my friend group has kids, and now we’re in our 30’s/entering 40’s so it seems it’ll stay that way.
It’s weird because, the way this article is phrased, it feels rare.
Anyway, I’m sure reaching out feels one sided for some of us. But I don’t think anyone minds it. Those reaching out want to foster the relationship, those being reached out to always welcome it.
