I'm happy for my friends. I really am. But it's very difficult to hang out with any of them anymore. I'm the only one without a child because it's not the kind of lifestyle I want right now, and it just feels awkward being surrounded by my friends and their kids. Their houses are always a mess and they're stressed out. They literally have nothing else to talk about other than all things having to do with their kids and snapping photos to post on Facebook, and I'm just kinda there. I have nothing to contribute to their conversation because I have no kids of my own. I'm starting to think I need new friends to hang out with; ones that don't have kids.

Has anyone else had this kind of experience? Do you ever feel singled out in your group of friends? I'd like to hear your experiences and any advice you may have. I feel guilty about feeling this way but I had to get it off of my chest. Thanks for reading.
