OK! I take it all of the people who've answered so far are proud parents! Didn't mean to step on toes.
Maybe I should've asked for advice on how to still connect with all my friends now that I'm the last of my group to be childless?

Because you have big differences in the way your think now. The priorities have changed and the goals in their life get met and new ones are made. They will never be the same again. When you feel ready to have kids some day, you will get back in touch with these friends, because you will reconnect in another stage of your life. Don't be to hard on them, if they have chosen to start families, then it proves they are ready to settle down and do what it takes to raise their children. It happens at different times in everyone life, and some people never choose to have children. And there is nothing wrong with that picture either.

Ouch! I'm currently expecting and on bed rest, and my "party life" is on hold for a bit. But, I still have the best, funniest, intelligent conversation and my good friends still spend time with me.
I also have other children. I did go out with my single friends once in awhile. I guess I'm just young enough to not look stupid dancing on the bar. Not getting a piece of meat, just having fun and being the other side of myself once in awhile.
I guess it's the company. If they're not that fun to be around if they're not scoping for a piece of meat - then maybe they're finding friends of their own that have more in common with them.
Time to find some different friends. Maybe you're feeling a little left out too.

Thats hard to do because they now have responsibilities that you don't so you're in a different catagory than they are. They probably feel uncomfortable now because they can't be the same old buddy they used to be. You might think about finding some single guys to hang out with, or realize that your attitude will have to be different when you're with them. I know what it's like believe me...Different but the same scenario. I'm a widow and all my friends are still married and have their normal home lives, things going on, etc. I'm like the third wheel and feel like I'm imposing or the women are jealous of me, instead of being my friend they find me as a threat. Bad scene so I cut out.........

They are not boring......they are just in a different phase of life than you are. You need to find someone to walk the path with you....someone to share similar interests. You can still be friends with them....only on a different level!

Probably b/c they now have a full-time home job of caring for and giving to and loving and nurturing their children, and this takes up an ENORMOUS amount of time and energy and money that they are completely wiped out from all of it.

They aren't boring, just busy. That just makes it more fun when you do get to go out to party and stuff...I am a parent and I consider myself boring but my one friend left that doesn't have a kid thinks its alot of fun when we get time to go do anything with out my kids. Not boring, just busy....

it is not that they are boring--try looking after young people when you just spent the day working at your job--your priorities change your not selfish because there are others now to consider

I don't think they are boring, they have more exciting things in their life now, and you don't, maybe you might be boring?
