Only Childless couple
in BNOTB
So we going to a 4th party of our very best friends and realized we will be the only one without a child, on the fb event they are all talking about naps and if they can borrow cribs and such...should be interesting. Also wonder how many people will ask us the famous question...good thing there will be alcohol at this party.
"Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly"
Re: Only Childless couple
i love this, awesome!
H and I are almost the only couple without kids in our group. It sux but we manage to entertain ourselves
We were invited to a load of bbqs and declined on all. I wanted to drive to Philly or take the train to DC. Kind of wanted to spend this holiday free of all baby talk and children as a whole... besides we are already visiting our family this summer and there will be nothing but kids around.
I agree with pps, I would prepare a few witty comebacks for all the pregnancy questions that you know are coming!
"My uterus, my decision."
"When you pay for the child, I'll have one"
"Are you going to babysit so I can continue to work?"
"I didn't realize it was anyone's decision but ours!"
I use these regularly. The questions stopped.
All of my friends are excellent parents but some struggle with having a conversation/identity about anything other than their children. I've stopped hanging out with them because I can only take so many "Little Johnny poo-ed in the potty yesterday!" conversations before my need for an adult beverage is blatantly verbalized.
My favorite is always "You know, when you have kids people expect you to raise them. I'm really just not into that right now."
Quite a few years ago we were in this position. At a kids first birthday party and the only ones who weren't related and kid free. It was a little awkward at first but all worked out okay. Now that kid is 8 and we are super super close. The moral of this story: a little awkwardness now is worth it in the end
