[quote=Anonymous]I have different friends with different age children.  I have one twelve year old.

I find it impossible to maintain a friendship once they hit child #3.

It's impossible to have adult only time doing something fun because spending $60 an hour for a sitter is too expensive for them.  They usually don't have any other support as no one wants to watch their kids for free.

If we get together with kids it's exhausting just to watch - both dad and mom are constantly chasing their 2 year old and 4 year old and making sure they don't kill themselves.  You can't have a conversation with them because they're constantly running around after the kids.  Also, if you have a nice, clean house with expensive furniture their kids will jump on your nice couch with their shoes on, spill juice on your carpet, leave hand prints on walls, etc.  You'll need to do a deep cleaning afterwards.

Finally, they don't have any interests.  These women usually don't work.  Their life revolves around changing diapers and feedings and there is nothing to talk about other than which gymnastics class to take.  It's utterly boring.

This is not a year or two. This lasts years.

All this makes me wonder why women sabotage themselves having 3-4 kids? Why do you do this to yourselves?
