Are your friends' kids the same ages as yours?

[Kitty 34]

I would have to say yes for the most part.

I have three real close friends. One has a DD my oldest son's age. My 2nd friend has a DD and a DS who are the same ages as my two oldest sons. My third friend has two sons, her youngest is the same age as my youngest.

We don't discuss our kids all the time when hanging out but when we do we have a lot in common.

Actually, no. All my close friends have kids all different ages ranging from going on 10, to 2 months. My DS is just over 3.

I have 1 or 2 friends with kids near the same age, but not someone I talk to on a daily basis....they have kids all perfectly NOT my sons age LOL! They all play together pretty well though, so I can't complain. And the 10 year old will be a great sitter shortly!

Yes. I mean I go to the same functions with my kids and it just seems that I befriend those moms. DH has more friends that are single, married no kids, or they have older kids.

But RL friends..those are the people I run into the most often.

My closest freind has a son who is just 5 months younger than my oldest son and a daughter who is 7 months older than my daughter. Three other ladies that I am close to I know because we all have May 2002 babies. They all also have kids the same age as my middle child.

NO! I had my DS when I was quite young. My friends are just now starting to have kids, theirs are all 2 or under and mine is almost 7.

 

[powellrj]

no, nobody has kids my kids ages. I am much older than any of the parents of my youngest who is 8. I am about the same age as most of the parents of my oldest ds, but most of their kids are in college now, not in Iraq and that makes some people very uncomfortable. I am close in age to most of my middle ds's friends parents. I would really have to say that most of my friends have grandkids that are the same age as my youngest.

 

[Sonya]

Yes. Of my 3 closest friends, 2 had babies right when I did and one is having hers next Tuesday!

 

[grinningghost]

Unfortunately, no. My DD is much older than my friends' kids. I remember when I was pregnant and first had my baby, I was sort of left out of the loop - I just didn't have alot in common with all my childless friends. Now, I'm getting a little sweet revenge - my DD is a teenager and I get quite a bit of free time, while they, on the other hand, don't.

 

[chell]

No. Actually my closest friends' children are my age.

 

[4greatboys]

Both of my best friends have kids my kids ages. My 2 oldest are 16 and 14--one friends kids are 17 and 15. My 2 youngest are 2 and 4 and my other good friend has kids 8 and 4 (her 4 yr old and mine are 6 weeks apart).
My other friends kids ages vary.

 

[Robinrs]

My best friend's son is 24, mine is 11 and she's YOUNGER than I am! All of my other friends kids HAVE kdis!

I had my son at 36.

 

[skuttle]

None of our friends have kids yet...we were the first to get married and now the first to have a child. I hope my friends hurry up, though!

Our cousins all have kids close to the same age though...in our family we have a ages 8, 3.5, 3, 2.5, 1, 1, DS (1), 5 months, 1 month.

 

[sk!mom]

No, not really.

I am older than most of the parents of my DD's friends. So other than our DD's, we don't have much in common. I am nearer the age of my DS friends parents but their kids are grown like my DS and I tend to be busy with my DD while they are free.

DH and I usually are relieved to spend time just togther when we have free time.

 

[FroggyinArk]

[pkasbohm]

most of our friends have kids the same age of ours. I guess you just tend to hang around the people you see most.
