[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, based on your description your problem is not your friends' kids,[b] but the fact that they all live an hour from you. [/b]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]

This.

Are your friends all in Baltimore?  [/quote]
