Every time one of my friends announces yet another pregnancy I internally scream because it means more years of them being extremely boring to hang out with, as they literally have nothing else to talk about or the kids are there too and we have to amuse them.

I get this, but kids can also be amazing entertainment. In addition to being cute, their complete mystification at how the world works makes for the most surreal humour. It's an acquired taste, but worth picking up.

@fesshole I've been fortunate that most of my friends are childfree like me. Maybe you should expand your friendbase

@fesshole How AWFUL. And there's of course literally NOTHING you can do to make life more bearable.

@fesshole 1. Have some kids yourself. That’s probably not what you want, which is fine, I’m just listing options.
2. Find new friends. Chances are, most of your old ones are either jealous of your childfree life (pity their kids) or think they have less in common with you, too.
3. Enjoy the fact that you get to have their kids at their best moments and can dump them on the parents whenever they stress you. Be the cool aunt or uncle, give them caffeinated beverages and noisy toys.
