I think your attitude is great. When people have kids later in life, with all the anxieties of “doing it right,” they often think they have to stop going to parties. It is genuinely hard to prioritize your own fun when kids are in the picture. It takes work and coordination to keep partying. Parties are not extraneous — they are a really important part of our lives. Now I need to go get the bbq fired up…
- ednite 1y agolol...thanks for the comment. Keeping fun and connection alive during those early parenting years wasn’t easy, but we figured out how to integrate it instead of cutting it out. A basement hangout with a toddler in a diaper and a crew of Bon Jovi–style teens wasn’t your typical "party", but somehow, it worked. And yes, agree that BBQs are great opportunities when shared. Parenthood doesn’t have to mean social exile.
