RE: Afternoon Coffee With Friends... and Other Adult Activities

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I remember what a big deal it was when "company" was coming over, as a kid. My parental units seemed to always have a bit of cake reserved for "company". Now? We seem to all head out to Starbucks or somewhere else. I like staying in, and having friends visit! But, because I'm Mrs. Denmark Guy, not too much. LOL!

When my kids were still in school, and before I was Mrs. Denmark Guy, I did a lot of socializing, especially with regard to the wee ones. I honestly don't miss that, but I do realize how important it is to stay connected, and not just virtually.

Mr. Denmark Guy says all the time, "I used to like being alone, until you."

"parental units" reminds me of seeing someone somewhere abbreviate even that to "rentals."

I know my parents often connected with other adults because of us kids, but the people I knew as a child were also often "friends" mainly because of who my parents visited or entertained, too. Even with the dubious benefit of Facebook's algorithms an "people you may know" connections, I have lost all contact with most of them now.

I also see emy friends who are parents now often struggling to find ways to connect with others. Adulthood gets in the way of socializing in general.
