I agree with you. First, I think it's irresponsible for adults to maintain some sort of active social life after kids have come into the picture. It's clear in this case that the "adults" you mentioned are totally unprepared for children. They clearly were not told that once you have children, life is supposed to suck for you until they graduate college. Secondly, no adult function is complete without a concentration camp-esque children's table, where these so-called "little human beings" can be monitored for the slightest amount of personality, where they can be watched to make sure they don't develop social skills or learn life lessons. As far as I'm concerned, they should be kept in nourishing jelly sacks until the age of 18.
Oh, and if you have such issues with these people and their neglect of children, don't go to their cook outs anymore.

Originally posted by Devil KingIts actually possible to still have a social life when you have kids, it just needs to be more child centric. Babysitters for attending the adult functions other wise hanging out with friends who also have kids so the kids canplay together. there are some things you'd have to give up. but life doesn't need to suck so long as you can adapt.
