[quote=Anonymous]Do you genuinely want to hang out with your friends' kids? As opposed to doing so so that your friend doesn't have to hire a babysitter?

I completely get why friends may need to bring kids along to meet up with me, or invite me over to their house where the kids will be because babysitters are expensive. I am totally up for doing that and I respond positively when my friends suggest it. I interact nicely with the kids, etc.

But ideally, I'd rather see my friends without their kids in tow.

Sometimes friends just really seem to want me to hang out with the kids. Like, they think I must really want to see the kids themselves.

Example: I am in City X this week. I reached out to a friend who is a SAHM to see if she wants to get together for lunch, when the kids are in school. She suggests instead we meet up after school "because the kids are in school this week and that way you will get to see the kids, too!"

I want to see my nieces and nephews and cousins' kids for sure. But they are family. Maybe I am a horrible person, but I don't really care that much about seeing my friends' kids.[/quote]
