Having a family = not as many friends?

ya. my wife is a pretty good nurse tho and has been doing it for 5 years at nights and has never been written up for a dosage mistake.

But anyways she did use to work part time but has take another shift due to the fact that I'm going back to school.

SO the stress of her doing that, plus school, plus taking care of a 15 month old can take its toll. Such is life though.

We have a pretty good neighborhood. On the weekends we normally get together with the other couples. The kids go inside and watch a movie and the adults hang outside and drink, cookout, play cornhole, etc.

The wife and I have had many a night when we carried the sleeping kids back to our house after partying. Good times can still be had, just now you have responsibilities and can't just run off to Huddle House to feed that late night drunk urge for scattered, smothered, and covered taters.

just some food for thought. know a couple where the wife was a highly succesful real estate agent. told her in 05 where housing was headed and she didn't listen. of all her friends, i was the only one who didn't throw money into the hat for this big condo deal in charlotte. lawsuit is still pending to this day.

the day she gave birth to her second kid, she was on her lap top working on a deal. i just told her and her husband, to just weigh out if that amount of earnings is comparable to raising kids. by no means am i down on making money but some costs need to be considered and thought thru.

she is slowly getting out of that field but between the stress of it all and now her kids trying to find time with mom is catching up.

this is just me speaking. i purposely turned down 2 dif jobs being a broker or supporting a broker that had such a great book of biz it would have been turn key. i could have shown up drunk and naked and still brought home 6 figures.

if you guys are able, just weigh out the risk vs rewards of tons of work or school and being parents. both can be done, but putting something on paper and thinking thru what you value can help long term.

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?

definitely not a knock on you salty,

but I regret the day this happens.

My serious answer: I'm fortunate enough to have a few friends in my life that are like brothers to me. We've certainly hung out less since my son was born, but I've been having them over to my place. It's easier on us, and we all still get to hang out. In fact, we probably get to catch up a little more this way.

Though you should take this for what it's worth, because I wasn't the type to go out that frequently in the first place.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
