My best friend from high school , had kids a few years ago. The kids are young but out of the baby stage. My friend constantly asks to hang out but never offers anything that is not totally kid-focused. Think story time at the library, watching their kids’ soccer practice or just inviting me over to play with the kids in the playroom.
Your friend is prioritizing family life and friendship in a way that works for them. So, the conversation you’ll want to have is one with yourself: can I accept this? It’s possible that your friend doesn’t have the energy to do non-family hangouts. And you, in turn, don’t have to spend hours at a soccer practice if that’s not your ideal weekend plan. So, I encourage empathy, flexibility and creativity. Think about what you actually need from this friendship and what you can give to it and make that the basis of your ask.While in grad school, I got a call from my ex-girlfriend saying her oldest child, then five years old, was my son.
