I stopped keeping in contact with my friends when I realized that it was more trouble than it was worth. I grew up. They didn't. I'd rather spend time nurturing my kids than talk about the latest infantilized product that they're consuming or their furrogate babies. Someone might ask "Maybe you need to find new friends," but why? I don't need to validate my identity or views. Most social hobbies are tedious timesinks. Other parents make shortsighted, contagious decisions concerning their kids behavior; Why should I even open that attack surface? It's all just so tiresome.
