[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did have 3 kids in my 30s and now I have 3 kids in my 40s. Everyone we interact with has kids so no one would act smug about having kids. My oldest is now 13. We have friends who have kids in college and high school. I don’t think anyone really cares about the family status of others. I know I don’t.

I met some childless people yesterday. I asked what they liked to do and they said they stayed home a lot and cooked. I don’t think they played sports, hiked or even traveled. As a married mom of 3, I go out with friends at least once a week, once with my husband and multiple times with my kids. Did they think I was smug? I hope not. I did think they were kind of boring.[/quote]

Most of the DINKS I know also spend most of their time at home hanging out. On the one hand, they seem to have a very strong relationship from having so much time together. On the other, I am puzzled by the fact that they don't do more with their freedom. [/quote]

Pp here. That’s what surprised me. I have 3 kids. Our schedules are packed with their sports, music lessons, play dates, birthday parties, dance, scouts, etc. I also have friends who like to hang out with and without the kids. We also travel a lot. We visit my family, in laws, family vacations and I also go on 1-3 girls trips (no kids) per year. They didn’t seem like they did much at all. I don’t have to explain what a boring person is.

I went to a day party today and everyone was cool. Some people are just more energetic and like to go out and explore more.[/quote]
