what... the bitter and twisted bit of the kids thing???

the kids bit

[daizie]

In my experience people always/usually change for the worse once they have kids, especially the older they are when they have them. Ive lost a number of friends this way. Good riddance I say .

In truth people change anyway, as their life experiences change. Some do for the better, others not so. In your experience it seems that its more the latter...

Edited to clarify I didn't mean daizie personally!

I don't feel that way at all... I have some totally fab friends who have kids and some, who are equally splendid, who don't...

I judge them as I find them and say each to their own....

oh and Happy Christmas Dazie
