I have some good friends that live just four miles away and although we talk on the phone and e-mail fairly regularly, we haven't seen each other or gotten together in more than a year. It's sad. <BR/><BR/>I thought things would change when they had a baby and joined the club. It hasn't. They're just as busy as we are now.Jason Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344040175168572355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318298667360169598.post-26369712659718544362007-12-12T13:47:00.000-06:002007-12-12T13:47:00.000-06:00how's it go...make new friends, keep the oldsome a...how's it go...<BR/><BR/>make new friends, keep the old<BR/>some are silver, the others are gold.<BR/><BR/>I like it.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044403947730363259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318298667360169598.post-23431270389619062242007-12-12T09:34:00.000-06:002007-12-12T09:34:00.000-06:00Wow, 16 years...

They dote on her and she loves them back..many of them are close to having kids themselves. It's just that we work so much and Calli goes to daycare so any time we have at home, we just want to be together, as a family. We find it hard to even get together with our friends that have kids. Also, when we go home, where our parents are, we have so much family down there that we have no time for friends there either...sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318298667360169598.post-37500833384973824492007-12-11T23:32:00.000-06:002007-12-11T23:32:00.000-06:00Friends will always be friends, but having kids me...Friends will always be friends, but having kids means you will meet new folks with kids and make new friends. I know that is how it works for us. We started having a family early on (24,25) and all of our friends were still doing the bar scene. They were years from marriage and even further from kids...but as your kids grow you will be best friends with them, I know I am.

We rarely have any social life outside of work. It is depressing at times, but I wouldn't give up my family for anything. I just need to find TRUE friends that don't mind us being parents.Johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534421094558320562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318298667360169598.post-83604727662737153112007-12-11T18:33:00.000-06:002007-12-11T18:33:00.000-06:00It's tough.
