How to navigate friendship changes when life stages diverge

Our friend group has been together since college but lately when we get together it feels forced and we all just scroll our phones or complain about work. Three of us have kids now and two don't and there's this weird tension where we're all pretending everything is the same when it obviously isn't.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
