When longtime friendships become complicated by family dynamics

My best friend and I have been inseparable since college but now that we're both married with kids, I can see that my family likes her family way more than her family likes mine. The kids are starting to notice and ask why we don't do things together as much, and I don't know how to address this without making everything worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Adult friendships are being strained by incompatible family cultures that can't be acknowledged directly.
