Have young kids and a drastically reduced social life. Can’t go out at night without a sitter and they are expensive and not easy to get. Used to love catching a drink with friends after work to yap and gossip and that went to 0 too. I’m told this changed when they get older.

It creates an excuse to meet people (they have kids too) I also immediately categorize people into 1) likes children and 2) dislikes children and 3) is ambivalent .

Less social but my kids are the greatest gift And I immediately bond with people who have kids And I find many adults who don’t have any kids to be children

At the beginning, we were too tired to have a social life 😂 Then over time it shifted to other families in the same (ish) phase as we were in. As we got more confident in the parenting thing, one of us would go out occasionally with friends who don’t have kids to keep the socializing. And at some point, the desire for socializing with others dropped out and just wanting to hang out with our own family increased. Especially as nomads, we hang mostly with each other, and occasionally with other nomadic families…

It’s improved it. Granted I only have one and she’s only 18mo but she’s pretty flexible. Best part is we all hang out with friends and I’m back home by 10.

What social life?! My life has completely changed with kids. Any social activity is entirely organised around them. I have very little time for anything other that short form social interactions which is probably why I do more socialising now online because it's much easier to dip in and out of. I have met some amazing people who are parents of other children at the same school as my kids, so that part has been great.

in the world we live in now, couples don’t wanna give birth immediately they get married for one reason they wanna have fun and enjoy their marriage for a while it’s because all of that is gonna reduce once a child comes so i’m sure it’s gonna affect it a lot

Through school and activities you get to meet new people. Some of them are nice, some are not. Like in all other aspects of social life.

It’s harder at times and difficult to adjust for me. I never used to plan going out, now I have to do it weeks in advance :p Got a 6 month old.

This is a big question.. so I must be honest… I have two girls…My social life is becoming worst.. I only survive with Farcaster… My girls are awesome but they are tough to babysit… I do the care alone and it is not easy at all tbh but there’s this joy I feel inside me when I see them… My kids are age 4 and age 23 month… I get to use my phone when the are in school or taking naps… I will be exhausted by the time they sleep at night… I will sleep and wake up early to attend to them but I choose my kids over Social media actually…. Though I feel affected and I act ancient sometimes due to my lack of Socializing…

Still a student tho , but my mum gave birth to me at a young age .. from here experience, having a kid had no much on social life , she just had to act more responsible because she knew she had a kid and had to be a good example

It changes it completely (and kinda kills it). Best thing I can say to any new parent couples — keep dating and make it a priority. Even if it’s an at home dinner/movie — make it happen & make it consistent. Same with your friends/regular social things you do (like it you meet up w/friends once a week for lunch, the gym etc). Try to keep that going. Not easy. Also — sometimes your friends change especially if you join parent groups. Easier to hang with other parents with kids the same age. Kids can be playing while you’re having dinner etc.

The social graph edges to friends without kids lose weight. New edges are formed with parents of your kids friends.

It’s definitely changed but for a more healthier lifestyle. I find my social life is more fulfilling with children as it’s brought me a social circle that are interested more in what I’m interested in.

It affected my brother cause he loves smoking and going to hang out with friends but now, he won’t want to come home with the scent of cigarettes all over him, so I think the fun he once used to have had dropped down drastically

i didn't have a social life before. having a kid forced me to be more sociable. some peeps whine because they can't go out as much but it's no different than running a business. you're in a new chapter of life
