How often do YOU hang out with friends?

How often do you (mom) get together with your own friends?

Wondering if people have plans every Saturday night…

And do you work full time, part time or SAHM?

Not enough. A few times a month. I meet friends for long dinners. My friends have evolved since my kids were younger..the “group” from early elementary has dissipated long ago.

Hardly ever. I’m a SAHM but most of my friends work or live to far away to get together often.

A few times/month. Work part time: DH works double time. DH is now hanging out at least 2x/week playing music together.

YOU can get together online with those friends, too, even if you are far away. If people want to remain friends, they will.

Once a week for lunch always. Once a month for dinner.

I do my socializing mostly on weeknight evenings. At least 2x a month.

I do think it’s worth the effort to find hyper local friends. I have not been able to sustain my relationships with friends who live an hour away, but local is much easier.

Oh, and I and my friends all work full time. It just makes it easier to plan and weeekends are family or husband time.

Full time but not regular Mon-Fri hours.
I have a young teen
I see my friends for dog walks 2-3x a week. One doesn’t even have a dog but walks with me.
I’d say a couple of times a month I see a friend for coffee or lunch.

I tried to see a friend at least once a week.

I work full time. I think I see friends socially once a week or maybe a little less. Sometimes it’s coffee, sometimes a walk, sometimes something more formal like a party.

I work full time and hang out with friends 1-2 times a week. Usually coffee or drinks and usually someone hosts a happy hour or party once a month or so.
We live within a mile of each other so that makes it easier.

[Anonymous]

Wow, I am nowhere near this social. Maybe 1-2 times a month?

[Anonymous]

I work full-time.

I see friends every weekend at some point. I have friends who are hyper-local, I agree that helps. I go on walks with people, host people or get invited to other people's homes for pretty informal things. Recent example is inviting people over to watch NFL playoffs.

I prefer not to do weeknights but occasionally do. Maybe once every other month.

I have a group of friends who are not hyper-local but in the DMV and I see them about once a month typically.

i WFH. I hang out with my friends about twice a month I would say. A coffee and a dinner, for example.

We do monthly movies nights with a friend group where the teens are friends and the parents are friends. What started out as, oh this would be fun, has turned into a lifeline.
