Had a moment of realization today that my friends and I are growing apart. It's not just lockdown, it's them starting families and slowly retreating into their family units. Is this the 30+ life? Because it sucks so far.

@Gina Yeah, this happens. You will find people who raise kids who do not simply retreat into family life though, and you should hold on to them.

@darius @Gina We're on the other end of this, we lost friends through becoming parents and simply not being able to socialise with our childless friends in the formats we used to, anymore. Can't do evenings out in the pub or restaurant when you have kids to mind and a strict bedtime schedule to keep. :/

@cathal @Gina it certainly requires compromise on both sides! I find coffee and lunch dates work well for everyone

@darius @Gina In general, yes. We had a more complex parenting challenge dealt to us, but there were intervals where we were able to make that work.
