We have a lot of married friends that are considering the DINK route, a few married friends with kids, a handful of single friends, and no consistent socioeconomic status/work schedules/locality across the different groups; making it hard to get together often 
We have couple friends (we're the first to have kids) that we friendscation with, and we're getting excited about the others starting TTC because we can eventually do family trips in that group.

Yes, they are all married and have a kid or two or three. Most are a little ahead (with the age of kids) or a little behind. A few have much older kids.

None of my friends have kids yet! Most of them are wither single on long term relationships. My one friend is married but they want to wait to have kids.

I lived with four girls in college. Within 17 months we all had baby girls.

Yep. Mostly all married now, and most of them are either new parents or going to be trying soon.

Not even a little bit. Luckily most are so excited about DS though. We have one pair of friends, a married couple who aren't anxious to have kids themselves, and our relationship with them is really going down the tubes.

I was the first to get married and the first to start a family. A few friends have married since, and two of them are currently pregnant.

Nope! I was the first to get married and have a child. It'll be several years until any one of them will have a child which is a bummer.

Yes, the majority of my friends are married or about to be and either planning to have kids soon or have them. It's nice for everyone to be at the same point in life.

Yes, for the most part all my friends are at the same point (my close friends for sure.) My work BFF is my only single friend, but she's pretty settled down.
I have 5 BFFs:
1 - has an almost 3 year old, she's starting to think TTC again.
2- has a 7 month old daughter
3 - had a baby boy today & is getting married in April
4 - Pregnant and having a baby next month
5 - has 2 kids and is done!

Not really. One of my friends is pregnant with her 3rd, another is married but not planning to ttc for a while, and the others aren't married yet. Fortunately I've met several new ftm's to hang out with since having LO

I think it's pretty evenly split between DINK friends, some married, most just living together (and may or may not get married/have kids) and married friends with young children.

A lot of my friends are engaged/recently married, but I'm the only one with a baby so far. DH and I got married young though (at 21 and 22).

@knittylady: You did better than me. I had zero words for that acronym! lol
We have a variety of friends (dating, single, married with no kids, etc.), but our closest friends, are married and thinking about TTC this year or next. We still hang out with them as frequently as before. As for the entire pack getting together, it only happens when there's a holiday, a special occasion, or a football game on!

No… they're mostly all married, but none have kids except one friend who lives kinda far (and her son is a year younger than my kids).
The rest aren't even thinking about kids!

We were almost the last in the group to have a baby! Some of our friends already have #2 or are working on it.

We're probably in the middle - some are married with kids, married no kids and some are single.

It's so hard to tell... As I get older a lot of my networks are so criss-cross.
Church circle - no - most couples are older w/ kids. The married ones w/o kids are younger
College friends - no - only 1 is married and just got pregnant, another is engaged,, then a couple are still single
Work friends - This is probably the place where all the girls are in similar or close enough life stages.

Not really. I have one other friend who is married and has a baby. One other friend who recently got married. All the rest are not even near marriage, let alone kids. I would love some other mom friends!

Most of our friends where we live now are! Our closest friends here are expecting their first baby too! Everyone else we are friends with for the most part has little kids or pregnant!
In our home town......... no! Everyone still lives with their parents and no one is married!

My closest friends got married and started a family a lot earlier than us so I feel like a late bloomer on the motherhood path. I have been going to kids birthdays for over 10 years now it seems. Finally I can throw a kid's birthday party in May!

Nope. Most are simply single and one is divorced. My husband's friends are married or getting married and quite a few have kids.

No, all except 1 are married. None of them have kids either. 1 of my friend finally announced her pregnancy, but she lives in another state.

Most of our friends back home are married and have kids but not many of our friends here have done either. Mostly I really wish we had some closer lesbian friends that were in the same stage as us.
