I can easily believe that, Ann (even if it is from the New York Times <bg>, jk). What with kids and work, the weekends tend to be nothing but recovering from exhaustion from the rest of the week. It's tough to find time for yourself or to spend with your spouse alone. I don't have very many friends outside of my wife, who is my best friend. Most of the friends I have don't live in the same city and were my best friends during college about 20 years ago. I'm simply too tired most days to do anything but stay home, so it's tough to go out and find new ones.
It is a lot easier to make time if you don't have kids, of course, but I wouldn't give up fatherhood for anything.
