Wait 'till their 21. It hurts to see my son having so much fun.

Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up.

University (college) was an absolute blast, working full time sucks - welcome to the real world, Neil

After I got divorced 10 years ago my social life was great and then all this fitness stuff put a damper on the partying like a rock star. Not that I don't sneak a few days in here and there.

Social life is pretty active. Something going on just about every weekend. But, then again, I don't have kids.

It was a sad realization that most of the people I socialize with are in some way tied to my childrens activities.
