Yes, I realized that it is inevitably to loose friends after having a child. At least those without kids frequently got very angry with me for cancelling dates late, not being on time, or not calling frequently enough. I cannot solve this riddle, so my priorities are a) stay healthy enough to be able to support my family b) spend time with my child, since you cannot postpone this c) care for those who really rely on me (parents) There's usually not much left afterwards, but I still have long term friends who understand that I may be largely unavailable for a 10 year timespan.
