Am I the only one who just doesn't really want new friends?
I have a wife and two kids, and all my social energy goes into them. What I really want is more alone time for my hobbies.
When I was single, I had plenty of time by myself for doing stuff I wanted, so I had time for friends. Now that I am married with kids, I can't imagine how I would have time for friends.
> Even if the six-pack friend still lived in Brooklyn, I had a hunch that now that she has a toddler, her visits wouldn’t be as frequent or as spontaneous as they had been a decade ago.
Well no shit. How can you be spontaneous when you are responsible for another human being 24/7? As someone with a family, I can't just make choices for myself anymore... everything I do affects other people, so I have to coordinate with my wife and kids on who is doing what when. If someone just drops by, but I need to take my kid to her soccer practice, I can't just drop what I am doing.
Honestly, that kind of friendship just doesn't seem realistic or desirable anymore.
