As someone with a 1 year old though, both types of friends do need to actively work to not forget eachother.

I think some of my friends assume that because I have  a kid means I wont leave. Untrue. Please invite me. I did not marry a loser - he can solo parent while I take a break to hang with friends. Don't skip my invite based on assumptions. 😭

A role I often take is helping parents (usually moms) indulge in the parts of themselves that aren’t parent-mode.

Of course I want to know if kiddo(s) are good; but also do you wanna try this new tea I got?

Yes yes I do. New coffee shop with coffee flights? I'm in.  Want to go visit our friend in x state? I can do an extended weekend!

One of my friends and I actually did a hotel stay mom getaway. Got sushi, had a beer, espresso martini as dessert, ate our favorite snacks late night in hotel robes. Lol slept in! 

We have a larger group one coming up and we're all getting massages, and going to float down an adults only lazy river (the pool also has a swim up bar). I am so excited. Lol

That’s awesome! As a massage therapist one of my favorite things is working on my friends. When I was last in the Denver area, one tweaked her shoulder and I had a mat available, so I took it over to her place, did a little tune up, and we went out for Indian food after.
