[quote=Anonymous]How do you change this dynamic? At this point (37) most of our friends and family members have kids. These people (who we love and genuinely want to see) are always saying things like, "We really want to get together" and then suggesting that we meet them at places a few minutes from their house (and often an hour or more from our house even though we all live in DVM). If we suggest getting together at a place near us, they come back and say, "Oh, we'd love to see you but why don't you come over here since it will be easier on the kids." I understand each parent's argument individually, that it is easier for us to drive an hour than them, but added all up together, DH and I are driving all over kingdom come if we want to see people. How do you delicately bring up to people that we shouldn't have to always make the bigger effort just because we are still childless?[/quote]
