[quote=Anonymous]OP totally discounts the fact that some of her friends don't have the time or money to "get away."  So, they are lame because they can't afford to travel a lot or get babysitters all the time?  Get some richer friends, I guess?

And they are lame because they are just like she was a few months ago -- tired because they have really little kids!  So little self-awareness and sympathy!

And possibly, they just don't want to do the same stuff that OP wants to with their free time.  That doesn't mean that they've lost themselves, it means that they want to use their free time differently.  Maybe they use it to work out so they, too, can lose the baby weight.  Maybe they LIKE to spend time with their husbands and kids and extended family.  Maybe they volunteer, or go to a book club, or whatever.  Maybe they think late nights aren't worth the exhaustion (since little kids don't let you sleep in).  Maybe they think a spa weekend sounds boring.  Maybe they've been-there-done-that, and it doesn't sound like that much fun anymore. [/quote]
