Why some friendships end after kids come into the picture

> Hey, these next six months are wild. Can we circle back in the middle of next year and try and get something going?

This example message is like something I'd send a recruiter, not a friend. Circle back? Six months?

WHO SAYS "CIRCLE BACK" TO A FRIEND? THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? Are we all HR now??

Imagine you text a friend "I had to put down my dog today" and they responded "let's circle back in the middle of next year"

That would definitely end our friendship, but not for the reasons NPR thinks.
