Friends that I hang out with.... 7 friends with children and a lot more friends without children.
I'm sure this will change when I have kids.

We are close with two couples that have one child each. All of our other close friends do not have any kids yet - most of them are not even engaged at this point

With our good friends back home it's about 50/50, but where we live now all of my friends have kids! Probably because I met them mostly through mommy type activities.

We're surrounded now. Most of my close friends had babies the same time as me! I feel very lucky. I also made friends with a few great girls in our prenatal class, and we hang out often. We've become particularly close with one couple. Most of our siblings have small children and babies too. The only childless friend left is my best friend, and I prefer, for my own sanity, that she stay that way!

We don't have a ton of friends yet. We have our group church of friends and that's about it... so it's maybe 3-4 families. But only one that I hang out with on a regular basis.
My sister has a kid.
Otherwise we know 10+ couples or singles who don't have kids. My BFF from elementary school is still single.

Surprisingly none with kids and everyone without. I'm turning 26 & DH is 29. Everyone around us is starting to get married while we're on our 2nd year of marriage with a 16 month old. It makes it difficult to find people who can relate, and most friends don't want to hang out with the married couple with a kid. Sad but true. Luckily my sister has a daughter who is 4.5 months younger than DH and my other is pregnant with her first & due in a few weeks.

Very few of our friends have children. We are the first in our close circle of friends to have a baby, even though we are the youngest.

I only have one couple friend here with kids, one that I'm friends with the girl and we have play dates. I have some friends out of town too with kids..... but we rarely see them so that doesn't count. Most my friends don't have kids.
I hope once lo starts school we'll befriend her friend's parents. My parents are still friends with my preschool friends parents.

I'd say it's split down the middle, half with kids, half without.

It's really a split pot for us. We have about 4-5 close couples that have kids or are pregnant, and about 6-8 that aren't. I'm sure that will start to shift over the next few years though!

Most of my husband's friends have kids but most of my girlfriends are single or dating someone seriously. So its about half and half.

On my side, I have 6 very close girl friends; 2 have kids, 2 are TTC, and 2 without (both are not married yet.)
DH's side: His best friend is due 10 days before us, and his 3 other BFFs have kids already. Another good friend is engaged and no children.
So for the most part most of our friends either have kids or are trying, which makes it nice!

My bff is currently preggers, DH's best friend has 3 boys. DH also has a few guy friends who have kids, but we don't see them often.
Outside of that, all of our friends don't have kids yet.

A few of our friends have kids and are already divorced, and the rest don't have kids yet - I think many of them plan on not having kids ever for one reason or another.

Pretty much all my friends have one at least. DH friends,we will be the first. Only cause one couple has had multiple miscarriages and now are undergoing fertility treatments o figure out what is going on. Fingers crossed they will be right behind us!
