This group is for parents who put their kids first, but would also like to keep their sanity. While most "Meetups" in this group will be for kids, there will also be "Meetups" put together themed for the parents. In the latter Meetup, parents are still encouraged to bring their kids so they can play together. For example, we can put together a play date in which there is a poker game for the adults. Please bring your ideas to the table :). Overall the top goal here is to provide fun, exercise an …

I think it would be great to meet more people in a similar situation, and hopefully, you do, too. We could also have meetups with kids, but I view this as primarily a support gr …

Welcome to "FUN FRIENDS GROUP!", aka FFG!   "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways with a thoroughly worn out body, grinning from ear to ear, screaming...
