    Yea, when I hang out with my friends that have kids it’s always just a constant stream of interruptions where they have to step away from whatever it is we’re doing and go deal with one of the children. Which I understand, kids take priority, but it’s definitely worse than before when we could just focus on having a good time. There’s also the fact that a lot of time they’ll invite me over and I don’t go because I’m already stressed from work and I don’t have it in me to deal with their children on top of it. If the kids weren’t there I’d have no problem going over.

      Yep…and then sometimes there’s tension when the kids have a meltdown and they ask their wives to help take care of it.

      If I had a nickel for every time I sat on the couch by mysf for half an hour waiting for them to chill out…
