[quote=Anonymous]OP, based on your description your problem is not your friends' kids, but the fact that they all live an hour from you. If that's the case, your friendship was going to change irrespective of reproduction and family obligations. More generally, though, I think you have to get over the idea of 'fairness.' Life isn't fair. You have more flexibility right now, your friends have less - if you want to maintain the friendship, you are almost surely going to have to accept that rather than resent your friends because they have family obligations. I have been on both sides of the equation you describe, and I know that from your friends' perspective, it's equally frustrating to have a friend who is sort of clueless about what it takes to work in lots of "friend time" in a life that is already overwhelmed with work and children. I don't have the luxury of empty weekends - my time is limited and I'd rather spend whatever time I can actually with my friends than sitting in a car to meet them somewhere that's not close by (especially if I've got the kids in tow!)[/quote]
