[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand what you're saying. I think it has less to do with what you think of each other and more about what your lives involve these days.When you have kids, your priorities shift, and rightly so. You have a responsibility to your family and, at least for me, the things that I used to do just didn't seem as important.

All the while, my childfree friends still lived a life of going out, drinking, brunching and all the things that you do during that period in your life. Nothing wrong with that. For me, I just moved into a different chapter - and one that I was very happy with.

I do have one very close friend who is childfree (not by choice). We live in different cities but are very close. She loves my kids and I try to make time to take a mini-vacays with her (now that kids are older). She's also DC's godmother.

So, you can absolutely maintain friendships with those that don't have kids. But like with any relationship, it will depend on how your lives evolve as you age. You aren't meant to stay close with everyone forever. Some people just have a season in your life. That's totally fine.[/quote]
