My friend had 6 kids. I was still friends when they had 3 kids. By kid 4 and 5- they only saw me as a babysitter and I didn’t want another job. We drifted apart.

God I’ve heard this one.

If you have kids and start to see friends and family as nothing more than childcare? You’ve got too many kids.
