Having a family = not as many friends?

Welcome to bigboyworld.

It happens to everyone. Well, everyone with their priorities straight.

As stated by others, once the kids get a bit older you should take some couples time, although the first one you do will likely be stressful, worrying about the kids.

It gets a little easier, but a focus on your family is the correct approach.

The beer and the buddies (if they are real buddies) will be around in a few years.

Family time is precious. See JR's thread about time flying and how fast they grow up.

you may not get to go sit at a bar with friends, but you gotta take what you can get. keep on the running. i've taken up skateboarding behind my dogs. it wears them out, and its gotten me back on a board again. something i've missed since i left the lake area and haven't been able to go wakeboarding.

I will be 30 later this year, and am single, and of course without child.

Most of my best friends from either college, work, or hometown, are now married and have children. I never see them or hear from them. It seems that every moment in their lives is now planned for.

Kinda sucks for them, but I am having a great time.

God was I drunk when I posted this thread?

I sound like a freaking loser lol

Seems like sombody answered their own question :D

What about having the boys come over to your house every now and again? You could hang out in the garage and watch the baby play in the yard or so.

I live in the suburbs which is like 35 min from atl. So sometimes that's a little difficult.

35 Minutes?

That's not too far. Heck that's just a 6 pack or a pint of the Captain.

Out here we measure driving distance by how much beer or liquor it takes to get there....

Kinda proves that most of those guys aren't real friends huh?

see my first post in this thread. those people were always like, "but you are on the other side of the bridge". always pissed me off cuz its only a 10 minute drive, and there is pretty much no risk of the bridge going up on weekends. i couldn't get them out for a game, a cook out, or even just to hang. even if i had the beer taken care of. good riddance to them all!

I wouldn't say that.

Bottom line is priorities.

Yours have changed (for the better) and theirs are still rolling along as it were.

You are living the better life, IMHO and should never ever second guess the decision to start a family.

I'm sure if you really needed them, they would haul ass to you on a moments notice.

If you want to see how much of a friend they are, there is a simple test.

If they will drive you to/from the airport or bail you out of jail, that is a true friend.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
