[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No offense,OP, I'm certain this is not you, but you sound like the thirty year old guy who's still wearing his varsity letter  jacket from high school and unwilling to move on and grow up. [/quote]

Ha! Too funny. I'm a near-tenured professor. I assure you I'm not fratting out. I'm talking about things like wine tastings, coffee, art museums, etc. Not stupid shit kids in their 20s do in DC like softball leagues or kickball.[/quote]

I'm not PP but you sound super self centered. I agree with other PPs that they shoudl be able to respond to a text. But I'm not going to wine tastings anymore (I am not a man FWIW). I will go out to dinner with friends occasionally, but I LIKE my spouse and kid. I enjoy spending time with them. I don't want to miss out on more things with my than I already am by working full time. My DH feels the same way. He also doesn't want to stick me with night and morning duty (like another PP pointed out). Your life just changes. And suddenly your on a kid schedule and it just feels like a lot of work to so things like you're talking about on the regular.

And FWIW I think softball leagues are just as acceptable a leisure activity as museums. My DH and I balance our personal interests and make time for the most important ones and the rest of the time is family time. [/quote]
