I don't get it

in Not Engaged Yet
So my group of friends from high school seem to be a tad immature sometimes, we are 24/25 yrs old. When they all started getting married they decided they were now part of a "club". I was unaware marriage was a club?

Now, 2 years later, two are due with babies in June, two more just recently announced they are due in September. Now the freaking "baby club" comment has come out. Seriously? A club for everything?

Is this normal? Am I missing something?

    lol. I don't know if any of you guys watched the OC, but this reminds me of the episode where Summer is accidentally engaged to Seth and the popular girls from high school have a married group. Then a pregnancy group.

    I'm sorry. They sound like they have nothing better to do with their lives. I would ignore it if I were you.

    Its not that it really bothers me. The thing that bothered me was that some of the girls didn't talk to me after they were married until we got engaged, so is that going to happen now that they are all going to have kids and we don't want any?

    *headdesk* People are oddballs. I'm one of the few out of my friends that isn't engaged/married/has kids. I know the feeling.

    At the end of the day, you'll still have us :)

    Haha, I love the OC. It seems a bit weird that they have a club for everything. I'm still friends with my high school friends and we didn't have a club then, nor do we now. Hopefully they will grow out of it soon. Best wishes! :-)

    Ugh, I hate The OC. I remember going to Newport Beach as a kid and it was so much more awesome than before things like The OC/Real Wives of Orange County started coming out. Gross.

    And this is why I don't associate with chicks. I hang with guys and feminists. I can't handle all this marriage club and pregnancy pact nonsense. My work's kinda like that -- one chick gets pregnant and the rest follow. One person gets married and the rest follow. It's insane. Be independent.

    Fourth Anniversary 100 Comments 5 Love Its Name Dropper
    The girls I went to highschool with are like this (no babies and only a few married). Once we were in University, one girl decided she didn't like me because her ex needed someone to talk to after they broke up, since we had been friends before they dated he came to me. So once she decided she didn't like me, everyone else decided the same, they all do the exact same things, and the one I do talk to still is upset because she's the only single one and thinks she will never find anyone. It's amusing to see, they act like they are still in highschool and it makes me laugh. It sucked knowing that I was no longer part of the group, but now, I'm so glad I don't have their drama in my life anymore and have to change myself to be a part of their group.

    It reminds me of Romi and Michelle...the popular girls who are all pregnant. Or umm...what was that one that came out recently? You Again (I think). Yeah. They are lame. You are cool. Tell them to kick rocks.

    Ya me neither.  It's why I hardly hang out with anyone from high school anymore.  They are dumb.  Lol.  I have always been on the outside anyways so I have never fit in with a "group" of people.  Now I hang out with a group of engineers in college.  Much cooler lol.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re:I don't get it:<strong> Engineers are WAY cooler, good decision Ray</strong> : I don't talk to anyone from high school and haven't since I graduated. I hated those cliquey biitches. But it does seem that of my college friends who were in a hurry to get married during undergrad or right after, most of them are divorced now. Honestly I think it's stems from insecurity and wanting to "belong".. .other people their age are getting married, so they want to, too. That explains the "club" to me.

    Tots. ;)  Actually it is cool because I am not an engineer so its nice that they put up with me.

    FI is actually number 3 of his friends to get married. After me I will only have two friends not married. Which is weird bc FI is 2 years older than me. But, all but two of his friends also have kids.

    The club thing is dumb. You're either friends or not. It shouldn't matter who has kids or is married, etc. I do admit, my friends who have kids have more in common with the others who have kids than I do, but we can still hang out.
