Hopefully, she'll adjust.<br /><br />In a few days, when it all blows over, we'll probably do something fun or spend some time together--I'll give her advance notice ;) Or maybe we just need a little time to reflect and figure out what to do next.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-18075694661915023992009-04-16T22:53:00.000-05:002009-04-16T22:53:00.000-05:00I hear you, Eros. I don't have any kids, but I hav...I hear you, Eros. I don't have any kids, but I have to admit that I have not had friends do those things. My older sister, on the other hand... well she sometimes did that, but it was long distance, so didn't happen often. And her kids are all in their 20's now, so it was ages ago.<br /><br />If a person can't accept the total about face that things take with the inclusion of a kid in the equation of life, well, that is their problem. You can't take the kid back to the store for a refund. You have to deal with your altered state.<br /><br />I hope your friend comes to her senses and apologizes to you. If she doesn't, then perhaps she isn't such a good friend after all?<br /><br />We each take our own path in life, and those paths don't always follow the same track. One has to learn to accept and adjust to those differences you discover with your friends, if you want to remain friends.Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-28011859185513998632009-04-16T19:04:00.000-05:002009-04-16T19:04:00.000-05:00MJ, In 18 years, some of those kids might be old e...<B>MJ</B>, In 18 years, some of those kids might be old enough to join you and their mommy in a bar!<br /><br />I have a friend who does the same thing with her kids! There are times when I want to tell her, maybe we should hang up so you can focus on your misbehaving kids. I'd hate to find out then next day that the kids have burned down the house.<br /><br /><B>Snooze</B>, What's even nuttier is that my friend left me an angry message when I got home. She didn't like how we were going out without telling her ahead of time, so she could find a sitter and join us. <br /><br />I guess she's having a hard time adjusting to motherhood, and we don't go out at the last minute to annoy her; things happen! Besides, her baby should come first; then plan to party later on. We're not shunning her; we just have to find time to do different things now.<br /><br /><B>Tara</B>, Ha! Is the newer version virus free? Because those babies are germ factories!<br /><br />Getting a full night of uninterrupted sleep is magical! Almost as wonderful is not having to deal with dirty diapers!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-21270805543867642202009-04-16T15:02:00.000-05:002009-04-16T15:02:00.000-05:00Have you heard about the Microsoft Baby 9.0?

It's gonna totally make Microsoft Baby 8.5 look antique.<br /><br />Anyway, yes I agree with you, especially about when they say their lives are so magical since they've had a kid. Know what else is magical? Being able to sleep through the night without hearing a baby crying.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-86598817008393013892009-04-16T14:36:00.000-05:002009-04-16T14:36:00.000-05:00Well said.

That's nutty. the same way I understand when my friends with little kids no longer want to talk all night.Snoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358347075690351485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-2844340782787871922009-04-16T13:20:00.000-05:002009-04-16T13:20:00.000-05:00My friend used to call me on the phone and most of...My friend used to call me on the phone and most of the conversation involved her yelling at them (into my ear).<br /><br />I may pick up the friendship with her in 18 years if they're all out of the house by then.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.com
