[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I know what you mean.

Do you have kids? I don't, and I think many women with kids a) are super busy and/or b) don't want to hang out with women without kids. They'd rather hang out with other moms.[/quote]

I have kids and the only women I find interesting are those who don't. So maybe I am an anomaly but I'm sure there's more than one like me out there in the world. [/quote]
This. Married thirty and forty something American women with kids are the most boring people on the planet. [/quote]

Not OP.  I hope this is the problem.  I love traveling, going out, concerts etc.  I get the impression no one around my age with kids wants to have any fun. They are interested in kids birthday parties on the weekend but that’s really it.  I don’t know why it has to be like this. Doesn’t anyone want to have fun?[/quote]
No, I swear all they do is go to kids’ soccer game and take a few curated trips with just their nuclear family each year. Other than that, they just stay home. And, of course, if you live like this, then you never have anything interesting to talk about, so it is just a whole lot of dull. The men tend to be a little better, but most are so cowed by their wives that they end up the same way. We thought it was DC, but then we moved to a new city and even sent our kids to a private school known to have a great social scene, and it is exactly the same! Geez, like you said, doesn’t anyone want to party anymore?  :lol: And given that these are some of the most privileged people in the country, I am just not buying the “crazy busy” or tired excuse. Come on people! [/quote]

I’m not White, but this is me!  I partied a ton in my 20s and I’m happy to hang out at my kids’ soccer games and vacation with my family.  Makes me happy now.

I’m not embarrassed by my lameness!  Sorry you find it unappealing.  [/quote]

Haha I know I’m reading this thread like hmm why do I want to live like this? Has anyone considered that it’s because it makes us… happy? We all have different levels of need for different things. I don’t wonder why some of my friends want to do some things different than me, we’re all different. Sounds like pp would like a different level of excitement and adventure which cool- go for it! Doesn’t mean we’re all unhappy. I had plenty of adventure and tons of travel, living in different cities etc in my 20s. I genuinely am quite happy to live a quiet life enjoying my kids and husband and our close friends. For me the close relationships bring more fulfillment than late nights or bigger parties. Waking up hung over has really lost its spark. [/quote]
