When you become a parent, your social life naturally takes a bit of a hit. After all, it can be pretty hard to catch up with friends when there's a tiny human that needs your attention 24/7.

Plus, after you've had kids and experienced the joy, tiredness, and stress that comes with little ones, hanging out with those without children suddenly feels like visiting another planet entirely.

But while we're sure our kids are grateful we no longer make as much time for our friends, socializing is still something that's important to us all as parents — so at least earmark one evening or weekend brunch in your schedule every month!

Having children doesn't mean you have to sacrifice socializing with your friends - although it may not feel like you get as much time to spend together. With a little bit of planning and creativity, it's totally possible to maintain a strong relationship with your buddies even when you'll have to leave the party early for a babysitter!

Life passes so quickly. So make sure you take every opportunity you have to celebrate time spent with good people!

Today's post will look at the story of a mom who's upset because she feels that her friend is "ditching" her because she's already a mom. But it looks like Redditors have a different take on the situation.

It all began when she accidentally got pregnant.

The OP wants her best friend to hang out at her place.

The best friend invited her for a drink with other people.

But the OP declined and asked her best friend to come over to drink with her instead.

Since the best friend's plan was set in stone, she decided to hang out with her other friends. That's when the OP got upset.

The OP saw pictures of her friend drinking merrily. She got angrier.

Because of what happened the OP and her friend got into a fight.

The friend suggested that she can always ask her husband to watch over the child while she's away. But the OP took this the wrong way.

Redditors were on the best friend's side, saying what she did wasn't considered ditching.

Don't bring your child to hang out with your friend unless they're open to it.

This Redditor is tired of some parents who center the conversation around their kids.

Parents can't bond with their friends when their little kids are around.

A child's curiosity leads them to trouble.

She's the one who declined the invitation. So her best friend didn't ditch her.

Welp, you already know her reaction with this kind of suggestion.

It seems that this woman has a bigger problem than feeling ditched by her friend.

Work from home doesn't mean you can always take breaks to visit your friends.

When you look at the situation, it's the best friend who's being accommodating.

Redditors agreeing to the statement above

The plan was already set. The OP has no right to demand the best friend to cancel her schedule.

It's always about the OP's terms. Not the best friend's terms.

The OP is being toxic, that's for sure.

People don't need to adjust for their friends who decided to have kids.

,,, we The OP is so unfair to her friend. If you look at the situation, it's the best friend who's being considerate between the two.

After all, she is hanging out at the OP's house. Things wouldn't be an issue if she just accepted the invitation and had someone else watch her daughter.
