In a group chat with a extended group of friends, a friend was happily chatting about hobbies. I teased her "why do you all have so much time? When I get home late, I get so busy w my kids already" And got chided by Another friend who thinks I'm insensitive to comment her time management! Was taken aback by that and I realized I am the only parent in the group chat. Was I insensitive? :( Did that happen to you before?

I admit it used to bother me but real friends laugh these things off and let go. The street goes both ways -- I do give make fun of them for not having time to do fun stuff anymore, sometimes. Don't worry too much about it :)
