Some of our couple friends don't have children yet, and although we are all still very close, there are major differences in our lifestyles. For one, my girlfriend who just turned 30 wanted us to meet up with them for some drinks....at 9:30 p.m. The hubby and I had to have a cup of coffee around 8 to jolt ourselves awake since we're normally in our pajamas by that time. We're so sad. For two, we met up at this swanky bar and restaurant complete with a live band and fireplaces. It was beautiful, but again, us cash-strapped parents were thinking about how we're probably drinking away our babysitter's paycheck. Lastly, our recovery today was slow and painful, starting bright and early at 6 am and followed by a long day stuck inside with My Little Man on a rainy Saturday.
We had such a good time, and it's good to have friends who can drag you out of the house to have some adult-only fun. However, our worlds apart will force us to ration our adult-only fun until a time far, far away when the kiddies can watch themselves.
I'm sure a lot of moms and dads experience this with their single friends. I guess the sign of a great friendship is one that can put these differences aside and last the test of time...and children.
