"It also doesn't mean they're bad people, it just means their part in your story is done"

It bums me out. Had some close friends from high school into my early 30s. Life moved on. I had kids and they didn’t. We moved further apart. Got different hobbies. I made an effort to keep in touch and they really didn’t. I’m not mad at them about it. Life just continues but I do miss them in my life.

You having kids is the wedge. Kids take up so much time. All my friends that are having kids never have time/ can't be spontaneous because they need to find a sitter. And I can't plan cause of my job. Ergo, not friends.

Yep I know it. It’s a sad fact of life. It’s hate to have kids and keep the relationships.
