This might be too specific to my own life, but I'm curious whether children do/should count towards socializing time. I'm officially an elementary school teacher as of this fall, so I spend most of my work day "socializing" with other people—they just aren't adults. And they certainly aren't my "friends", although I do genuinely care about them. I also don't have my own children (yet), which I imagine would be very different.
