The reality for us with kids is that we can't spontaneously drop everything and go. We have to plan in advance.

That same reality exists even for those of us without children. Just because I'm childfree by choice doesn't mean I can just drop everything and go out, either.
The fact is that some of us just like having plans and schedules for whatever reason. I have to have a schedule or plans in place in advance in order to make sure my obligations at work, home, family and friends are met. I'm committed to meeting the expectations and obligations I take on and I can't do that without a good schedule and without proper advance planning.
While I could occasionally just do something spur of the moment, it's not in my nature and not my preference. I know there are a lot of others like me, child free or with children.
