I am the last of a very large group of friends on my side and my husband's not to have kids, and even though I have had a lot of time to try to deal with it, it's still hard, especially when that's what 90% of the conversations are about - their kids. I can only relate stories about my niece and nephew. So, instead, I end up hanging out a lot with my friends who are younger than me. And, that's OK, too.Lori LeRoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981773036545324499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749816575601736848.post-80291431174734725392010-06-17T16:02:40.140-07:002010-06-17T16:02:40.140-07:00You're right.

Smaller groups are much more manageable.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749816575601736848.post-5065272239914187182010-06-17T15:55:39.880-07:002010-06-17T15:55:39.880-07:00Ack ... ganging up SUCKS!

But one on one is definitely more manageable. <br /><br />Hubby & I have started an ongoing thing when we *do* fall into the trap of gaggles of parents. Usually when we get a spare moment of our own, either one of us might turn to the other and say, "Now aren't you glad we don't have to deal with that?" <br /><br />It's silly, I know. Because sometimes it could be the best thing in the world like watching a baby walk for the first time, or teaching my niece a new word ... but it helps. It helps lessen the hurt.ApronStringsEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563200889320214974noreply@blogger.com
