We asked those in our Facebook group how they maintain friendships with childless friends. The answers ranged from hilarious to heartbreaking. Keeping childless friends in our lives involves self-reflection, perspective taking, FaceTime, texting, and roller skating. Oh, and, unfortunately, "hard pants."

In this episode, Molly and Blaire discuss:

How maintaining friendships with childless friends is an act of self care

How to take on the perspective of childless friends

How to let go of and mourn friendships that have run their course
