I've got little kids - yeah it was hard for me to go out for a matter of months per child - but I think it depends on the friends. A couple of mine (with no kids) just dropped off the face of the earth once we had kids. Loads of texts trying to get them to come out but we were just no longer on their radar.
Getting to the age now where friends who are parents to young kids also have caring responsibilities to their own parents (dementia, health problems etc).
