I get ya.
The op is not giving out about the kids persay.
It more he is home for a few days and is looking to catch up with his buddys the way he used to.
It can be hard on those that are single and are just looking for fun. When all your buddys get married and have kids.
There not his kids. So why would he want to prioritise them? |

Wowowow are you telling me I can't send them back ?  .
I get what the OP is saying but it's a completely pointless rant. Unless you are a complete bellend your kids will always take priority at times like this. That's not to say parents can't get out for the odd sneaky pint or sex fest, we just have to be home by 9pm  |

No there is no giving them back. But you can brining them out to the woods and "loose them"
I know when I used to come home for a visit, Christmas was the best time to do it. Even when all my friends had settled down. At least at Christmas you might get them out for a few drinks.
Middle of the year was no craic at all, as most will be working so mid week going out was impossible. During the day was worse, as your on holiday but everyone else has gone to work. Leaving you twiddling your thumbs. So you long for the weekend in hope that some might brake free. But their kids still soak up most of that time (and rightly so)
So going back to the start, Christmas is the best time of year for the single guy to come home. As there will be at least some hope of their buddies making it out.

He probably has them where he currently lives. Hard to make new friends to are up for going out in a place he no longer lives. Plus propabably knows most anyway |

I was being facetious. Maybe he could try being happy for his friends in the stage of life they are currently at, people's lives move at different rates, sometimes we outgrow friendships, sometimes we need to adjust our expectations of people, a friendship based solely on people's ability to party isn't really much of a friendship is it? |

"Hey guys, I'm a single Male and at home for Christmas. I'm bored off my head, all my mates are married with kids. Anyone else in the same both. Sick to death of hearing about people's kids. "
It's called "life". Maybe you were also one of those kids that your parents single friends despised!! |

"I'm not criticising the OP, it's simply a fact that friendships evolve and sometimes fall away altogether. "
Very much agree with you here. My close friends were a group of about ten. Most of us now have kids but we still make the time to get out together once over Xmas. Few guys came home from abroad and i made the effort to fit them into a pretty mental Xmas the guys I don't really click with anymore fall to the side. I'd rather spend the time with my kids regardless of the time of year |

Good few of my friendships fell away when them friends settled and started having kids.
Christmas or no Christmas being child free and having friends with kids is like dating a married man - you have to suit their family schedule and their mind is always elsewhere. It does get really tiring.
As someone stated before - when friendships turn that way, it is time to make new friends. |

100% with ye on this, Xmas has turned into the most boring and lonely time of year, can't remember the last time I went out to socialise at Xmas with friends. |

I get what the Op is saying,I'm sure he doesn't dislike kid's
Being the only Childless one in your group of friend's you get used to alot of canceled plan's that are nearly impossible to arrange in the first place. And Christmas you may as well forget as rightly so Kid's come first. It doesn't have to be the end of friendships just different now. You just have to find new way's to entertain yourself  hence fab. |

Unfortunately this the way life goes. People have responsibilities and they cant just go out anytime they like. Try and make solid plans incl dates and times so your existing mates can try and get babysitting. Also keep an eye out for singles events/groups. There are plenty out there. See Facebook. The answer is going to be working around what your friends CAN do, and finding other people in the same situation as you and making new friends from that group. Making new friends later in life is HARD..but if you dont try you wont get. |

Bollox to all this making new friends shit. The OP has already came up with a solid solution.
Get back in his car and drive back to wherever he currently lives and head out. And he even knows better than to come back next year.
And on that note if anyone else is in a similar situation in cork. I'll be in town in under and hour, to do a bit of hell raising. Feel free to send me a message and join me for a drink or ten.
The devil rides tonight! |

Well I'm back now. All is good, different people are at different stages in their lives. I'm just looking for like minded people who have time and less commitments. Wish I was down in cork, I'd go for a pint or three. If anyone wants to come to gran canaria for two weeks are the end of the month they are more then welcome. |

Christmas can be a very isolating time if you dont fit into the social click of being married with kids, you can be surrounded by all your family but feel very alone.
Yes, friends do get married, have kids, have less time, single ones get into relationships, but sometimes you were the one always there for them on the nites out when no one else was heading out, you went on the holiday with them when other friends didn’t, then they get into a relationship and they cast you aside, they are always busy.

For me it’s about respect. Anytime I was in a relationship I always made time for friends. I always made sure to include the single ones, and do stuff with them on my own.

Funnily enough Mrs filthy and me got our first babysitting tokens in a while and went to a busy bar last night for a few drinks. It was PACKED full of 18 to 20somethings looking to get totally trashed and fuck each other. There was 1 single older guy there with his grey ponytail who was walking about trying to talk to everyone and got many many strange looks from the kids. We felt quite sorry for him actually. I think if I found myself out drinking and was decades older than the average then I'd find myself sonething else to do where I could meet fems my own age. A yoga class, a book club, a dining circle, an evening course. |

That's grand if someone is just coupled up, but once you add a couple of kiddies into the mix then it gets hard. Babysitting, lack of funds due to child expenses, bedtime problems, tiredness from night feeds. It's not always a lack of respect. It's hard to juggle, and old priorities being able to go drinking when a buddy invites you, arrnt top of the list. |

"Not sure but I'd be afraid girls would think I was been creepy going to a yoga class."
Only if you were acting creepy. Men do yoga too you know. Anyway this is only an example. Go where the women you want to meet are, and stop hanging about with teenagers in bars when you're nearly 50.. because that way creepier |

Maybe that older guy was into young ones and not fems his own age. Just a thought. |
