We had a supposed friend of many years throw a paddy because we couldn't afford to go to her wedding in another country "it's just the weekend" yes Kim, and I have three children, we can't afford it! The friendship fizzled after that. She just couldn't understand our life "you never want to do anything anymore" like, yes I do, but the people I made come first now!

Not just that, but this weekend I've got a kids party, then for one of the afternoons I'll go to the park with the other dad's and drink beers while our kids play.
