How to Get Your Friends with Kids to Hang Out With You
DO: Go to Them—And Bring Food
Allison Robicelli: “Even better, figure out a day when you can come over and bring takeout with you. We can put the baby to bed and watch a movie or just hang out and talk. This is your best possible bet to hang out with me, because you honestly don’t know how much work it took to get myself and two kids who were under the age of two ready, packed and out the door to anywhere. I’m comfortable on my own turf, and it’s the only place for the first two years of parenthood that’s not a high-stress environment. If you actually want to hang out with me, that’s where to go—just be prepared for me to pass out in the middle of the movie.” [photo]
