Part of being an adult typically entails an increased number of responsibilities. While they don’t necessarily stand in the way of meeting one’s friends, they might call for a bit more planning and arrangements.
Getting together with a friend group tends to become increasingly difficult over time

Finding a nanny can sometimes be as difficult as getting the friends together
As people take on more and more responsibilities with age, be it work, family, or other reasons, it might be more and more difficult to maintainfriendships—or stay in touch regularly, at least—especially with a big group of people.
If you, as an adult, have tried arranging a get-together with a friend group, you likely know how difficult it can get. (Sometimes even two people are enough to make it impossible to find a date that fits both.) While one friend works a weird schedule, the other one is looking after two kids, the third one is constantly in and out of the country, and the fourth one is busy doing who knows what—getting such a dynamic group together might require all stars to align and three more miracles to happen.
That might be easier said than done, though.A 2023 surveyfound that the vast majority of parents face troubles trying to find a person to look after their bundle of joy. Roughly half of the respondents said they get time away from their kids at least once a week, but if it was easier to find a sitter, more than six-in-ten of them reportedly would.

Spending some time away from one’s kids every once in a while might be a good idea
