I have 4 kids, so a few things to consider: Having one kid is a bit like having none. You can still keep up with old friends and habits. Your wife can go out and you can watch the kid, and vice versa Where things really change is when you get two or more kids, plus when they get older. Infants and up until about 18 months or so is its own world. They don’t really do much and they sleep a lot. So it’s easy to take your baby with you and you can (mostly) focus on other things Once you have two or more it becomes harder. Your first will be older and much more of your attention will be on him or her. Going out with friends is still possible but now you’re leaving your wife with two kids. She’s now outnumbered and the older of the two is much active. The mental load is higher. It’s more of a burden to ask your wife to do this and so you’ll start doing it less often The other thing is that interests diverge. Your kids are this really important new thing in your life. It’s your major topic of conversation outside work. If your friends don’t have kids there’s just this huge area of your life you now can’t discuss. You can try, but it rarely works in practice. You’ll think that you’ll be the exception, but probably you won’t. Your friends no matter how understanding just won’t get it Again, with one kid most of the above doesn’t really apply. Most things will continue unchanged, at least for awhile
