You have friends?
I feel like I mostly have acquaintances.

I have one guy I know I could call with anything I needed and heād be there. I go to him for advice a lot (double my age). Only problem is heās a busy man and lives an hour away. Other than that Iām a loner. I used to be a larger than life type, life of the party kinda guy but now I just work and come home. Iāve gotten pretty boring. Iād love to find a couple my wife and I could become friends with but it seems most people our age are doing dumb things or are weird. I also hate most humans so thatās an issue as well.

Very few true friends. For a long time, this guy was one of them.
I feel like he is stuck at a certain mental age and just canāt get past it.
Pretty sure my wife and I would fall into the second category, but I wholeheartedly agree with the first statement. My wife and I are 30 and 32 with three kids and a lot of couples our age havenāt even started trying to have kids yet. Forces us to āage upā our friend group to try and fit in.

Yea we are 27/28 with 2 kids. Both our parents live very close and love spending times with the kids so we get a lot of free time. Of course we donāt know what to do with all that free time 
This is the dream. Best of both worlds.
Iāve become pretty ādullā according to people who donāt have kids. Iām ok with that, their stories about drinking lots are getting pretty dull to me too.

I have never understood why people tell these stories. All of them are the same.
I am at the point now where I enjoy an occassional alcohlic beverage, but dulling my senses and brain function to the point of numbness no longer holds any appeal. If that makes me boring so be it, but I would rather have an intelligent conversation/debate than a night I wonāt remember.

Donāt know about the āmore jackedā part - Iām just big.

Poor fella. Walking round with a face like this.

I think itās a age thing. When it comes to drinking stories.
That really sucks. Youāre pretty much being forced out of your neighborhood. Iād do the same. Get out. We spend too much time at home to be unhappy.
Kids are great, theyāre not all lucky charms and rainbows. Theyāre itty bitty humans who are borderline sociopaths who you have to steer away from crossing that threshold. But theyāre great (Iām not being sarcastic).
My kid makes me smile every day ā¦ I was leaving for work this morning and he waves bye and blows me kisses with his peanut-butter covered hands and face. Kids are great.

Agree 100%.
Nothing better than coming home from work and having my 3 year old and 19 month old run up to see who can give me a hug and stick their boggery face all over my nice work pants first. Best feeling in the world.

I can tolerate it. But my wife is really starting to feel uncomfortable to the point she has me putting up security cams

Impressive. If itās truly as bad as you describe, Iād be out ASAP.
Not sure if they have longevity. I had a house with known drug dealers around the corner from me ā¦ same type of white trash antics you describe ā¦ they were evicted within a year
Yesterday mine gave me a number sequence to fill in the blank.
āDad, daddy, dad! 1,3,6,10,_,21,28ā¦ Which one is missing?ā while Iām trying to sleep in.
He turned 7 on Friday.
