A woman who goes by @circulargurl on TikTok created a list of things parents should not be doing around their child-free friends.

Rules include not hijacking the conversation to talk about the kids.

Instead, try to “explore other topics”.

The OP encourages parents to not make offhanded comments expressing jealousy.

The best way to lose adult friends is to be envious of them, she says.

Maintaining adult friendships is hard, but they are oh so important.

The video certainly resonated with other child-fre folks who often felt isolated during interactions with their mom friends.
