How the decision to have children affects friend groups

Our friend group is splitting into parents and non-parents and my partner and I are the last ones deciding and I can feel everyone watching our choice like it determines which side we'll end up on and whether these friendships survive.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The choice about parenthood has become entangled with the fear of losing community and belonging.
