[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm always intrigued by these kind of posts. I don't quite get it, I guess it's a cultural difference. It's possible to hang out with a friend, have adult conversations and all in the presence of a toddler. If she's a first time mother and very focused on her kid she will talk about the kids anyways whether she's alone with you or not. Kids are part of life people. How can you say someone is your friend but you specifically do not want to get to know their own kid, let alone meet them. I mean, if you see them a lot I get the point of a child-free night out.[/quote]

Mom of 2yo here. No, it is not possible to enjoy adult conversations with a toddler.

I would try to visit when she does not have custody so you can go out.[/quote]

I manage.  My friends manage.  It’s called a play date at the park.  Kids play together, with the conversation between adults interrupted every 5-10 minutes for correction.  30 seconds and that particular person is back.[/quote]

Pp here. I actually have 3 kids so I personally would be distracted and my older kids can understand adult conversation now.

I spend most days with my friends with kids so obviously I hang out with friends withkids.

Out of state friend looking for a break is a different situation.[/quote]
