Being a parent

you have mention "" I had kids young and since then have been left with only a handful of friends. Have made friends with other parents but besides our kids we have no real common interest.I do associate with them regularly but I find I cant really be on the same level. ".......... but i am still bachelor . waiting for that kind of ecxperience .

I made a lot of friends when my children were little, I met them at Playgroup and later at School but now they're grown up I don't find myself in a situation to make new friends. I have a small circle of what i call real friends (even though 2 of them have emigrated and I really miss them), and these are still the friends I made all those years ago. You don't need many friends but the ones you do have need to be ones you know will be there for you, and you for them .

I am in the same situation. I am thankful that I had my first child at 17 because it took me out of that nightlife and away from those people that I shouldn't have been around in the first place. I like to think of it as where would I be if I didn't have my children. But remember having you children young means that you will still be young when they are grown and then you can makeup for all the time that was lost. ;)

its hard to have friends like we used to have, though our friends still our friends, but we never got to go out like we use to. it is because of time...... like other says.. where your time and money is there lies is your heart. the only thing we can do is just wait for them to grow up and when they are in youth and have their own friends maybe we can go out too. sometime only. thats life... we have to go or LEVEL UP. so good luck to US.

i have a son and he's already two years old. it's really hard to be with friends unlike before when i was single i can easily go out with friends. but now i just can't leave my son at home. i still have to wait for my husband to get home so that i can go out with friends and i can't stay longer outside.
