[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually don’t mind the guy. We get along.

I have a problem with how much my husband works. That is a different topic though.

I’m very social. I go out way more than DH does. Majority of my friends and I get kids together most of the time and of course enjoy moms only nights as well.[/quote]

Jeez, OP, pick a lane.  You're upset about a thousand different things.  [b]Perhaps you need more hobbies[/b].[/quote]

Hobbies that don't revolve around preschoolers, even.  :lol: 
So the guy doesn't want to spend what little free time he has hanging out with 6 kids and his friend's nagging, overbearing wife who thinks every waking minute must revolve around children. Shocking, I tell you.

Seriously? A grown man who tells an acquaintance that he dislikes his wife and kids? As others have said, a mix of family outings, double dates and dad meet ups is normal. Choosing to have 3 kids and never hanging out with them and their friends is weird. Like two dads can have a beer and chat by the grill while the kids run around the yard. What’s wrong with that? If I was OP I would cut them off. Is he going to turn your husband into a men’s rights activist or some other toxic bullshit. A guy who badmouths his wife like that is bad news. I would steer clear.

Am I the only one who thinks the guy said that so as not to offend OP and her husband?  It's quite possible that he just doesn't like OP and her kids...[/quote]

It’s possible he doesn’t like OP and her kids. But bad mouthing your spouse and kids as an alternative excuse is pretty low. Who talks so poorly about their family just so they can plan a bros night out?

And honestly, absent a pre-existing relationship, a friendship in which you really can’t stand the other person’s family (to the extent you routinely avoid them) is pretty doomed.[/quote]
