I am single w/ no kids -- seems the only ones I can find are either gay, married or have some sort of dysfunction like a drinking problem, baggage, high debt. :coffee:

Since we are on the subject of kids, why is it Im 50 years old and cant seem to find friends our age that dont have kid baggage. It seems they either are raising their grandkids or they have them every weekend to deal with. I was sure when I got to be this age, kids would not be an issue. I dont want to hear about baby sitters if I invite you to dinner or a party.

I find it hard to do anything really. And with the continuous drama caused by :gossip: it makes it worse. Aquiring/keeping/hanging out with friends is difficult, dating is near impossible.

Do a search. I wrote up a pretty good explanation about the problems of single parenthood somewhere around here.

Probably, because if they're single, that's what they have to love: Grandkids.

Sucks, I know. I have found the same thing.[/QUOT


A few years back we met a couple our age at a party and they were very nice and we liked them alot, but every time we would suggest something, they had to find a sitter for the grandboy. Daughter was a loser who couldnt care for her own child. After awhile, that sitter thing got old and we just stopped hanging out with them. Sucks, they were fun.

Love your grandkids, but let your kids raise them.

I was just sayin': You have your dog. They have their grandkids. :shrug:

But, I also have family members that'll be in that position before too long. A couple of my cousins- no matter how much I love them- are worthless, druggy, nutbags that should've been sterilized. They don't take care of the ones they have/had yet they keep producing more. On that note, I don't know what to tell ya. Everybody has their good points and their bad, maybe you should broaden what bad points you're willing to deal with, or broaden what good points you're looking for- just a thought.
