A bunch of my friends had kids and now they only hang out with other parents.
We’re not like asking to go clubbing, but our D&D group died off. We used to do online gaming but it’d impossible to schedule with parents. Stuff like that.
And I mean, life happens, it’s okay, I don’t mind hanging out with their kids around. I just want a bit more of their slice of the life pie, but it’s hard to compete with hanging out while someone else’s kids entertain your kids.
This is a temporary period, kids can start entertaining themselves more usually by 7 or 8 years old, and they can start doing all day or overnight play dates, which frees up a lot of time for parents to reengage
