[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 48. I don't have time for friends. I barely see the friends I have. Truly, I am too busy. This is probably most working women with children.[/quote]

I'm 46, work full time, and have two middle schoolers. We see our friends multiple times a week. Of course people have stuff like sports or work events but we have watched football together every weekend for the last several weeks and we often have a group dinner once a week at someone's house. Some activities involve kids, some don't. I understand being busy, but it's often a matter of what you prioritize. We love hanging out with our friends on the weekends and playing pickleball during the week when we can (our kids play time-consuming sport but we don't always take them). [/quote]

Are you overweight? Do your kids not do activities?

I don’t understand how a 46 year old with two kids has time to commute, work a full time job, be present for her spouse, workout daily and socialize multiple times a week. Oh and the kid activities. This doesn’t add up.

I’m privileged in that my role is hybrid and I can fit in workouts 3x a week during lunch. Also have a husband who does his fair share. I have weekly cleaners. Still struggle to find time to socialize. After working 8+ hours, working out, getting dinner on the table, driving kids to activities I’m exhausted.   [/quote]
