Hello, I am a young CF man of thirty years. I want to hear from my elders CFs. How they were living in their thirties.

Now in my sixties and still CF. In my thirties the only real down side was the loss (largely) of friends who had chosen to have children so could now no longer come out to play.

But life was good, on the whole.

And still is.

Did those friends become available again after their kids grew up? Or did you just have to find new friends?

Largely new friends. Interestingly those who had children later seemed to cope better with the balancing act between parenthood and socialising.
