Having a family = not as many friends?

Now that I have a family I hardly talk to any of my regular hang out buddies anymore. Most of them are either single, been married with no kids, or just playing the field.

It seems my social life has been reduced to nothing. Does this happen to most people going through what I'm going through or am I just a big loser?

It happens to everyone with family. Especially if your friends are single without kids. When I was with my ex, I hardly ever hung out with friends. In the past year, since my liberation, I have hung out with my old friends more than I had the previous 9. When you have a family you will end up making new friends that are in the same situation as you (especially when your girl starts school).

Also, you and Mrs. Saltman should set some "me" time aside every now and then. It is healthy for the relationship. It also gives you some alone time with your daughter to do a bit of bonding.

I use mine to go to the movies or golfing.

She uses her time to go to her hairstylist Johan. I think he is lousy because her hair seems to just be getting longer..

Sure it can be lonely. If it don't fit, then maybe it's not for you. You could use that time to go hang with your buddies.

Another biggie is "Date Night". Funny thing, when I was hitched to my 2nd wife, our date night would be to go home and watch a movie with out the kiddies running around.

Getting married was one thing, having kids was another. I used to get pissed when my friends with families before me would be hard to get up with, now I know why.

Just remember Salty, you're not the loser, they are. Now, go to the mirror and repeat after me:

"I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and dog-gone it, people like me."

first couple of years are like that. i will say this to any man with kids. if you never get time to go hang with the fellas, you are NOT taking care of the fam. do your job and your wife WANTS you to get guy time.

i get to go hang out alot by married dad standards but its only because i take care of the casa and she wants me to go have fun and play.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
