Why am i sick of going out?

Question

I don't fancy getting pissed or of my head every weekend. Friend's, husband and everybody i know does though. I think i have grown out of this. Everytime somebody just texts about a party i actually get annoyed. Is there something wrong with me? (besides the fact that i have a two year old child that doesn't appreciate a hungover mum)

Answer 1

You are not sick of going out just that scene and heavy drinking. I think it is responsible of you. You are a mum and not just looking at your own interest's

Answer 2

Hi Maya, I think sometimes we like our own company to recharge the batteries, going out all the time can be very exhausting so good on you for wanting your own space, I'm sure in a few days you will up and running for company.

  Good luck hun.

Answer 3

You've grown up and got fed up of doing the same thing every weekend. Stay in for a while and then you'll well be up for a good night on the tiles.

Answer 4

No. You're growing up is all. When you got to a certain age you stopped doing the things you did as a child. This is the same thing.

Answer 5

I hear you- about 1/2 of my friends are that way.  I think children, spouses, homes, and jobs (ie. responsibilities) grounds you a bit and you may find your friends annoying when they continue the behavior.  I think it's normal- congratulations, you're an adult now.  Not as if the occasional going out and getting blasted isn't fun now and then, but it's not your prime source of entertainment now.  

Answer 6

Nothing wrong with you at all hon!!!  It means you grew up.  You know there is more to life than partying.

And your child will appreciate this GREATLY, especially if your husband still has growing up to do.

Answer 7

Hello,

It also could be the cost of going out and night clubing these days.

If you are young starting out in life or a student as such, assuming you are working for minimum wage, you have to work a bloody hour for one lousy drink! That in itself makes many of us sick.

Cheers,

Answer 8

Youre being a responsible mother.

Answer 9

My girlfriend and I experienced the same thing after college.  Different people respond differently to settle down.  Some revel in it, some hate it and fight to recapture their youth by going out and partying.

The other factor is that some people are introverts (they recharge their batteries by spending time alone) while others are extroverts (they recharge by spending time with others).  It is entirely possible to change from one to the other as you mature and that may be the case with you.

It may also be your maternal instincts kicking in and you are indeed doing the responsible thing for your child, so kudos on that.

Bottom line is, peoples interests change over time and there are many things that can account for it.  Accept the change, and don't let others make you feel bad about it, its not a negative thing, its just change.

Answer 10

You have gained sense. I like a drink and not the first time have had one too many but next day you suffer the consequences and also inflict your suffering on those around you, making more than yourself miserable. It's also nice to realise with a two year old child the child must come first. Ignore the texts about parties, you'll probably get some stick at the beginning but wait and see this will gradually happen to a lot of the group you hang around with.  The ones who continue to act in this way I am afraid are a lost cause and if you have any doubts about still continuing the boozy weekends, take a look at others who do, 10yrs older than you. This will be you in 10 yrs time......

Answer 11

some might argue that you're getting old and boring, others will say your actually growing up.

take it as a little bit of both, but on the side of which you prefer.

and find some new friends who like to do more chilled stuff

Answer 12

You're growing up and becoming more mature.  You realize that your 2 year old is a lot more fun anyway.  And he will grow up so fast that your head will spin.  I have known party-ers that partied away their kids childhoods and really don't remember too many details.  They now have to live with the regrets.  Good luck to you.
