Unless you have specific evidence that they were having a baby to make themselves more interesting to you, this just gives “these people are happy about something I don’t have in common with them, so I’m projecting a reason.”
This is coming from someone (me) who is child-free. When people have kids, the kids should become mostly the focus of their lives. That’s normal for good parenting. It’s also ok if you have less in common with them after that.

Jfc – get over yourself. every non parent I met after having a kid was like “me. Me. MmEE! Why u tak bout babeh? LUK @ me!” and it was clear that “not having a kid” was the personality.
Having a kid is like falling off a bike. We breeders get it – no one cares. But once you realize the underlying universe doesn’t give a fk about you, that’s parenthood.

Lol i wonder how “interesting” ur life is. Most ppl i know who think they are “interesting” r just a bunch of club rat drunks who are constantly chasing the next rave/party. Truly Interesting people dont judge other people for talking about topics they enjoy and love, they apperciate other people’s interests. and truly interesting people doesn’t think they r interesting, they dont go around making reddit posts making themselves feel better . So get over urself 😂

People without kids surprised people with kids tend to talk about their kids.
Believe it or not children tend to be a priority and focus in most parents lives. Crazy right?
It doesn’t have to be your whole personality, but parenthood DOES define a person on a pretty big level. There’s a clear demarcation of before and after, and that’s gonna be a part of who you are now for the rest of your life.

I think being a parent and aiming to be a good one is a pretty good personality trait better than most actually, and only immature a$$wholes call these types of people “boring”, at least they’re doing something of meaning with they’re lives.

I became boring as hell after having kids. Boring is good. Boring is peaceful. Boring is nice.
Keeping the little gremlins alive is all I have time for and I couldn’t be happier. They are my whole world.
I don’t enjoy clubs or bars, travelling doesn’t interest me, my job has been about the same for 12 years, there’s no drama besides the mailman bending a document in the mailbox, and I don’t have any massive projects to complete. I am a boring middle aged dude who loves his family.
All my other accomplishments don’t seem that impressive compared to these little humans I’m teaching to tie their shoes and brush their teeth.
How could a parent who’s spent a year of sleep deprivation with hourly messy feedings and mountains of dirty diapers not feel proud that the little critter learned how to say Mama?

I have a friend who went the opposite direction and became boring after the baby. I went to a kids birthday party with him and our other friend a few months ago hosted by the dad, another mutual friend, and I overheard my original friend from within a circle of other young parents saying, indicating his one heart old daughter,
“We aren’t feeling like walking yet but we are having a blast with the jumparoo”.
It means nothing to you guys but this is the dude I remember sharing a blunt with at a house party 20 years ago, looking into his radish eyes as we both sang to the Kottonmouth Kings lyrics “I’m gonna, smoke weed for the rest of my life!”. Obviously he’s in a way better place now enjoying being a dad, it’s just funny how square he’s become
