Lately I've been losing friends because they're trying to settle down.

None. We never settled down. That's the worse thing a person can do. Hire a babysitter and do stuff with your friends. So many people get married and live like 80 year olds. I've never understood that mentality.

Me and my SO just had a baby not even two weeks ago and my friends are dropping like flies.
fwiw, that is probably because your interests shifted quite a bit when you became a dad....all that is on your mind is your new baby, and they can't relate at all....

This thread reminds me of THIS

If I do talk about my son it's only because he is a couple of weeks old. I do not go overboard like my SO
But he's only a few weeks old to where his only accomplishment is shitting his pants. Wait another year or two, and you may be annoying as frick when it comes to your kid.

Lot of people with no kids in this thread.
Find new friends with kids. Or how about be a father to your newborn and not worry what a bunch of adolescents think. They come back in time and if they don't who gives a shite?

There comes a time in your life when priorities shift. You maintain friends, but your top priority is your spouse and family(as it should be).
Just because you don't hang out with friends on a regular basis anymore doesn't mean you've lost them as friends.

You can't have it all. If you want a wife and children you have to put them first.
Single friends don't know and don't want to know anything about babies, bassonets and diaper genies, sorry. Nothing is wrong with them because they don't want to be around that. And nothing is wrong with you for wanting that.

Well, generally, the person who has the baby is the one who disappears.. rightfully so, as they're now busy being a parent.
Your friends are probably giving you space to do that.
I find it a reason for concern that you're 2 weeks into fatherhood and you've actually noticed your friends aren't hanging out.

I think the novelty of having a newborn is finally wearing off.
Posted on 2/23/14 at 10:42 pm to Buddy Garrity
Haha you guys are probably right. He has accomplished shitting in his pants. He does that quite often lol I'm 23 fwiw.

Why are you even worried about your friends right now anyways?

Never lost any friends. If you lose people, it's probably just drinking buddies and not friends.
Yep. I haven't seen old drinking buddies in 10 years. The same people I considered true friends then, are still my friends. And most of them have families of their own.
Posted on 2/23/14 at 10:47 pm to lsunurse
I'm not worried it just sucks that I still haven't seen some of my true friends

Probably because all you talk about is your fricking kid or your new life with your kid.
Quick tip: no one gives a frick about anyone's kid except their own.

You're 23. If they're anything like other 23 year old males I've encountered, they don't give a single shite about someone's baby even if they truly love you to death. (I say this as someone who is also 23)
Are you married? How old is your wife/girlfriend?

But y'all JUST had a baby. Your friends are just giving you space now.
I mean you really think it's cool to go off bar hopping with your buds while your wife is home with a newborn likely still sore from having a baby?
