My wife and I cannot have chldren, and, until recently, were friends with another couple who could not either. About two years ago, they adopted a little girl from overseas.
We realized that they would be having new friends because of the adoption, and would have less time for us because of their newest family member. But, there have been a few times when his wife has made plans with mine, and then she would call her up at the last minute to cancle, because a couple with children wanted to do something with them.
They are on the outs with us now, and, of course, the story they tell our other friends is we are jealous of them because they now have a child. We say that having a child in your life does not excuse you from remembering your friends, and keeping your planned social engagements. Any opinions on this?
