so this sunday, we're having some "adults" over for the first time...by that i mean, people in their late thirties/forties with kids close to our age. and they're all elders. i mean, i've had peopl...

hahaha that kinda made me laugh "adults" well ones with kids do seem "older" no matter what age. im in my 30's (single...but you'd never guess looking and being around me) and i get a little nervous w/married peeps cause they seem "older" LOL jk

haha, it's true. your group of friends totally changes when you get married or have kids. not that you can't be friends with those in different stages as you, but it's more fun with people that can relate to you.

SOME peeps change their friends. not all couples do. my circle of friends is mixed, single and married, and marriage hasnt really changed them into different people. they're still the same fun loving peeps as they were single. the only thing, they have different responsibilities is all.

ya i agree. Also most of my friends don't have kids and don't want kids which I think is great. But for example I just couldn't imagine being in a circle of friends of like everyone with preggo bellies and newborns and being the only one not into that. So obviously you gravitate more towards people that share your interests... i don't know what my point is

i think a lot of lauren's friends are baby-making factories disguised as women. because lauren seems like she's constantly planning a shower/going to a shower/thinking about planning a shower. it's insane.

ps - lauren if you're reading this - i love showers!!

i don't mean you change, like your personality, i'm the same dorky, crazy person i've always been, and i've had a lot of my friends since i was 15 years old, but i've found it a lot easier to be friends with people older than me that are married now, because you can relate to the same stuff...cooking, the same stupid things all husbands do...stuff like that. i'm still friends with single people, we just have totally different lives now.

this pisses me off to no end. i have some single friends who won't hang out with me anymore because i'm married. or something. I can't figure it out. like, if i'm not going to have all single people there, they don't want to go. i find that so annoying.

i also find it annoying the other way. like, that because we're a married couple, why would we EVER want to hang out with single people? i get that feeling sometimes from other married couples.

i just want to hang out and blow stuff up and go snow-tubing and watch nacho libre and tell people "the bible teach book is SOOOO HOT right now"

I always feel weird inviting like 1 single friend to a dinner party with all other couples. Not that I don't want he or she there, but I feel like they might be uncomfortable if it's only other couples. And older couples in our hall (who we REALLY don't want to spend time with) keep inviting us to their house since we've been married, like we're part of the club now and because we're all married we all have to be friends. It's very strange.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

thats my point. like kam said you hang with peeps that you share interests, married or single. thats the way it is with my circle of friends....we have a blast together, no one feels uncomfortable or anything cause they're the same fun loving peeps they were married as they were single.

yeah people are weird!
