Social life fail

Look at the bright side: if you did hang out with them regularly, they'd bore you stupid with stories about their kids and Ikea.
 
You see it all too often, people get into a relationship and have a kid and then neglect their social life leading to isolation and depression when the inital euphoria wears off. Obvious to people on the outside yet people seem to be blind to what they are getting into.

What do you expect people in their thirties to do! It is a good decade to settle down in. Get with the times

Nope. I enjoy being able to go and work anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat. Same for holidays etc. I just find it annoying how friends just disappear off the radar once kids and/or gfs are on the agenda. Especially when these are friendships that have endured over decades. It's completely unnecessary. ;)

I can see why people want the whole family life and good luck to them but it's not something that's ever appealed to me!
 
30's? Most of my home (read school) friends are like that and they are early to mid 20s! None have kids but most are now married and have mortgages... Most don't ever seem to want to do anything any more.

The solution? Go find new friends to go out with. My ex uni friends are all the same age but are still up for a laugh.

Unfortunately it doesn't even have to be kids, some people just get into relationships and neglect everyone else, what's wrong with having a relationship and still going out!?
 
So they can't come out drinking just because they're girlfriends are pregnant? it's the women who's not allowed to drink, being pregnant doesn't mean the guy has to stop lol

It used to appeal to me to some extent, but not really anymore. I'd prefer the same as you when I'm that age, being able to go anywhere whenever I want. Oh, and Vegas lifestyle with many parties and women too, please.
 
I'm 24, have a little boy and seem to be out waaaaay more than any of my other friends as they are under the thumb! People say we all settle down, but my old mans 52 and goes out every Friday, Saturday and Sunday down the pub and I fully expect to still have an active social life like him when I get to that age! Nothing more tragic than seeing my mates dads who are boring old farts who have no mates, don't do anything and have no funny stories to tell or anything, just stay in every night of there lives except special occasions when they are "allowed" out :/
 
I have found that a lot of the time people either use money as an excuse or simply can't afford to go out because they didn't plan for a child so didn't save any £ ahead.

One friend's missus hardly has any friends so if she doesn't go out to see her friends then it causes grief when he does.

I know someone else who has stopped going out since getting married - even with family and friends for Christmas!

Screw all that nonsense.
