Re: The reality of getting together with friends
I’m finally back.....
Getting together w one other person is a bit easier for me but 4 adults (2 xouples) much harder. My best friend and her hubby, we’ve made a rule “whatever kids are around are included. Whoever is busy is busy” because otherwise it took 3-4 months or never happened. Even w 4 adults it’s brutal and can take months.
I work every other weekend, my dh works every Saturday bff’s hubby works occasional weekends. Plus between us we have 5 teen/young adults. 2 college students w jobs, a 17yo with a job, a sophomore who studies ballet 30 hours a week and a freshman who does 2 sports.
My social life will have to be rebuilt when I have an empty nest. I’ve kept in touch w a tiny handful of friends ... primarily by text. I see them a few times a year ... sad but it’s all I have time for at the moment.
