Well, I've lost friends because they got pregnant and wouldn't talk about anything else, so I tend to assume that's the problem. I also tend to feel that child-free women are treated as selfish by society on many levels. There's nothing wrong with having zero interest in children or subjects related to them.

Plus calling someone an "apocalyptic self centered narcissist" automatically makes me think the speaker is projecting, because that's not the way a good, caring person talks to their friends. Especially since the OP was only voicing a totally valid concern about her friend not having time for her anymore.

There's a vibe in some of the posts here that it's somehow "wrong" to not like children, when in fact that's no more wrong than not liking computers or gaming or snow-boarding or any other interest. We can't expect our friends to change what they like simply because our lives have changed to include that thing.
Thanks for this!
