I try to make an effort to do something just for myself or with my girlfriends once a month or so, gives me something to think and talk about that isn't child-related. Dave and I have also been making an effort to get out just the two of us a bit more often for the same reason. We are definitely better parents for it and our lives are most definitely richer.Kylie Purtellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185153539010825877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-7442945413655564612015-05-11T17:37:39.277-07:002015-05-11T17:37:39.277-07:00We need to balance it really but remember to still...We need to balance it really but remember to still have fun in life, not just work it away until retirement when you think you will have the freedom.CountryMousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799779599751379129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-85077633449737620432015-05-11T05:04:35.595-07:002015-05-11T05:04:35.595-07:00I haven't had a huge social life since having ...I haven't had a huge social life since having kids, but I think everyone has their own set of circumstances. <br />I really don't understand that woman's comments about your party.

I'm not a huge party person (not because of the kids, just because of me) but I'd actually be really chuffed to get a grown-up party invitation from a kinder or school friend! Or acquaintance. Or anyone!<br />I do love my catch-ups with friends though. Won't be swapping them out just because we have little people in the house. And now that they're starting to have little people of their own, they can all play together!
