Childless man in his 30s laments how friends becoming parents changes relationships: 'People don't care about your life anymore'

Much has been said about how much parenthood will change you, but there hasn't always been as much conversation about the effect it has on the people around you when you have kids. However, as an increasing number of adults opt to be childfree or simply don't become parents that quickly, it is something that can cause rifts within friendship groups.

This is something that one childless man in his 30s has found increasingly noticeable as his friends begin to have children. Revealing how the moms and dads that he knows don't seem to care about what is happening in his life anymore when they hang out, plenty of other childfree adults chimed in with their opinions on the phenomenon (along with a couple of parents). It is a shame that those who have kids and those who don't can't bridge the gap, but it often proves to be an effort too far.
