Do you get annoyed with friends w/o kids sometimes?

Because they just don't get it?  My friend is planning a last hurrah to being single party in Indy (2 hours away) for an overnight on Valentine's Day.  MH plays in a band so he will not be home that night until 3:30.  So I need a late night/overnight sitter and I'm getting frustrated because they think it is so easy to find one since it is weeks away.  And they are getting irritated because I don't know if I can for sure go yet because of it. 

I would love to go, but find me a responsible baby sitter that is old enough to stay out that late that doesn't have plans on freaking Valentine's Day!  (She planned it that night because her H is in the band too and she thought it would be easier since they would be out.)

I guess I'm just frustrated and venting and wanting to feel not alone in that people without kids just don't get it sometimes!

all the time!! several of my friends that do have kids dont have schedules at all that annoys me too b/c I am on one and it seems they always want to do something during our nap time..

Sometimes I have to tell them that if they need an answer right now, it's no because I don't know if I have a sitter. It's frustrating!

Constantly.  I like the "But I just got tickets to the game.  What do you mean you can't go with us?  We were planning on tailgating beforehand too."  Um - hello - what are we suposed to do with the kids with one hours notice?  Or the - let's do dinner.  You can bring the kids, and then they pick a restaurant that is WAY inappropriate for kids to be.

I have a lot of it with just not understanding that W. will be a total tyrant at whatever restaurant/activity so that means i will have a miserable time.  Why would I want to go to an event with ouy, jsut to spend the whole time chasing around and dealing with a cranking toddler?

Yes.  One set of friends always call us at the last second on Friday or Saturday night wanting to get together.  Hello!  We need way more notice then that.  I can't wait for her to get pregnant!

I agree! My family loves to plan things for during the week, which is just not good for us. Or, they don't think it's a big deal if ds misses a nap or something. They're not the ones who have to deal with a cranky toddler!
