Give Your "Best" Breakup Line When Dumping a Friend Due To Their "Velcro" Kids

DISCUSSION

Ok all.. what is the best or your fastest and most clear way you've broken it off with a friend due to their kids?

I've gone out of my way to become more busy or invest in more relaxing situations because I absolutely cannot handle the overstimulation of "Mom! MOM.. MOOOOM LOOOK!" or attention seeking from kids who need to learn how to play alone for 10 gawddamn minutes by themselves..

What happened to kids having their own space in the yard or even a room where they -choose- to go play/hang out? It's like kids are velcro-ed to their parents now more than ever and it's absolutely suffocating.

I no longer will entertain friendships with people who have kids in any way. It's made life more lonesome at times, but I also realized how lonely I was in those friendships... the lack of rich conversation.. the lack of genuine presence.. the lack of being able to go somewhere nice and have a legitimately quiet meal with no deadline to get back to....

Let's hear your smooth break-up skills!!!
