Re: How do you deal with friends "growing up"?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean... are you close with these friends? I think this is the key here. Three of my best friends, who were like siblings to me growing up, now have a family, and while I am resolutely child-free, I find that I grew to love their sons just because they were, well, my friends' sons. Sure, this means that when we get together the kids tag along and then a lot of time is devoted to wrangling them but... my friends are the same people, even with the new interests, and we still talk about jobs, families, mutual friends, relationships -- all the things we talked about pre-kids. And sometimes we talk about the kids.

So yeah, our friendships are different now. But I appreciate that, as busy as they are with the new responsibilities, they still make time to see me, and I know they appreciate me as well because even new parents need some adult company every now and then. I've honestly found it more difficult to maintain friendships with other single people who got new jobs or girlfriends and then proceeded to fall off the face of the Earth. It's all about how much people care.

But then again, the kids thing aside, I do still have a lot of similarities with my friends in that serious careers and real estates are important to me as well...
