Here’s my advice as someone with a small kid. Get them on a schedule they can plan for and anticipate.

We have a friends dinner every Tuesday. I have a game night with friends every Wednesday night. Coffee with friends every Thursday morning.

Routines are a gift and enable spontaneity.

That sounds like lots of amazing friend time. Are the kids coming to all of those hangs?

All the kids come to the Tues dinner (not everyone has them). Others times are just for me. My wife also has some of her own rhythms this helps us plan for childcare or alone time with our kid.

These weekly rhythms are our baseline. So we usually have more friend time on the weekends.

Also meeting closer to a kids bedtime if there are 2 parents may be easier for parents. I go out Wednesdays around 7:30, my wife puts our kid to bed and she gets some quiet time to herself.

We alternate this for her nights out.

I love that. Two of my best local buddies (with kids) I see most weeks on Monday night for our league soccer games. After, we typically hangout till late and have a wonderful time. But it’s almost impossible to get them to plan something else (because they can’t juggle kid/family commitments)

💯 We have also embraced the "please invite yourself over" policy with our single friends or any friends. So if people want to have adult time after our kid goes down they can. They are also welcome while he is awake but it is a much different dynamic with a 2 year old.
