Example: A girl I went to HS with got married at 19 and had a kid. She got divorced recently at 26.
Her Facebook is all "OMMGGGGG kegstands/kissing randoms/jello shotz" with her 21 year old co-workers.
Why? Because she missed out the no responsibilities partying time that my friends and I have already had at 20. While we were having fun, she was being a parent. So she's trying to live that now, with an 8 year old kid. And it's tacky.

Fun doesn't end when you have kids. I know happily married parents that do these things occasionally (except the kissing randoms). If she wants to go out and do those things, and does them with people who keep her safe, fine - better that she gets her yayas out than sits at home resenting her child. I find people who desert longtime friends and make their husbands a distant #2 after they have children far "tackier."
