10 Things That Inevitably Change Friendships
Kids
Just like marriage, having kids can greatly change the dynamics of a friendship. You have to understand that being a parent does and should come first, so give your friends some time to get into the groove of balancing being a parent with their social life.
Additionally, don’t be upset that your friend can no longer hang out late or travel at a moment’s notice. For the new parent in the scenario, remember that having kids doesn’t mean that you are no longer allowed to have a life, so don’t feel guilty about hanging with your friends every once in awhile.
