[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the opposite. I wish more people would be willing to do things during the week so weekends could be family time.[/quote]

Also my spouse and I have an easier time trading off weeknight parenting duties so the other one can do something because it doesn't feel like the person staying home is really "missing out" on anything. Like my DH went out to watch football last Thursday night and I had a nice night putting our DD to bed and then reading a book and going to bed early -- totally fine Thursday night. But if that was my Saturday I'd be kind of bummed. DH feels the same way.

But few of my parent friends are like this. I think in some cases it's due to having young kids who maybe don't go to bed easily or just being tired in general. Which I get. But the upshot is that I don't see them almost at all without kids because on the weekends most of us do things with our families so get-togethers will be all families. Which can be fun but is not the same as grabbing a drink with a friend 1:1 at a neighborhood bar. I really miss doing stuff like that with my friends but it's so rare now and even sometimes when these plans get made they fall through a lot.[/quote]
