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.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
