``` GTKY& YK(s) Friday ```

freakyfast · March 2014

Good Morning/Afternoon All!

Happy Friday, we made it through another week! Hope everyone is doing well, and has a great weekend!

If you were another person would you be friends with yourself? Why or why not?

Is your child(ren) outgoing or no? Does your child(ren) tend to be friendly with other children (At events or parks or if/when you take them out) or do they stay by your side.

Plans for the weekend?

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Yes I think I would be friends with myself if I knew what I know about myself being that other person. Most people take a look at the outside and make assumptions.

When my DS was a toddler and a kid, he made friends so well. Was willing to talk to anyone and play with anyone. Now that he is a teenager, he still has A LOT of friends, but new people is not something he is interested in. I think that is a teenage thing though.

Tomorrow doing the taxes, and Sunday a bridal shower.

Yes, I would be friends with myself. I'm a very good listener and pretty open minded. For instance, I'm Catholic and so is my my husband. One of my BFF's (I have 2 that I'm super close to) well, anyway, she and I met in the 8th grade and have been friends ever since - well she went through a really big religious change and is now a practicing pagan and she came out of the "broom closet " to me. I told her - cool beans- as long as she didn't press her beliefs on me we were fine. So we made a deal, I keep her in my prayers and she keeps me in her candle spell work and we are as good as gold.

My son usually needs a few minutes to "warm up" to a new person or place but, after 15 mins or so- the wild comes out! I think he'll be fairly social later. He plays well with other kids his age. We'll see!

No, I am an asshole. Duh.

She is very independent but she's still a bit shy of people. She likes to do her own thing, but she's not too keen on strangers. Even if I'm right there with her, I'll say "Say Hi

" and she just puts her head down.

I would probably be friends with myself because I think I can make others laugh easy and I think I'm pretty likable. But I also think I would get on my nerves. I tend to be a procrastinator and really bad about initiating things as a friend and I would get tired of that. I'm thankful my IRL friends love me anyways and I'm working on being better.

Both of my kids are very outgoing. They have never met a stranger. And sometimes have trouble understanding when other children aren't like them.

Also, my in-laws hate when other kids try to play/talk to my kids or my nephews in public places. They don't understand why those people "won't just leave them alone. It's weird."

Weekend plans are a trip to San Diego. Currently bumping in epic traffic. Boo.

I would totally be my friend. I am one of the nicest and most loyal people you will meet. Not to say I don't have faults, cause I have plenty, but I am pretty much a great friend.

Is your child(ren) outgoing or no? Does your child(ren) tend to be friendly with other children (At events or parks or if/when you take them out) or do they stay by your side.
DD is always looking to make friends. She is totally bummed if we go to the park and there aren't any "friends" there. Her preschool teacher says she plays with everyone. So pretty friendly little girl here.

Plans for the weekend?
We are throwing a combined birthday party for DD and 4 of her cousins at an indoor inflatable park. Should be fun, she loves hanging out with her cousins.

I would sooo be friends with me because I rock, haha! No seriously, I'm a pretty good friend so yeah I'd hang out with me :-)

DD is a social butterfly just like her mommy!

I don't know. I guess that would depend on the other me! Since DS, and with school and work, I don't have a lot of adult time. I have my BFF, and we try to run errands together every week at the very least, and then I have soccer games but I don't hang out with my team mates outside of games. So the other me would probably get put in line behind a list of family members and other friends I would also like to spend time with, if that makes sense.

DS and social skills are like oil and water. Just comes with the autism. He's more interested in the cars people drive and their names than the people themselves. He will run up to someone and say, "what's that one?" or "who is that?" right in front of them. Every time I have to run up and say, "Say 'I'm DS, what's your name?'" That hasn't caught on. And then there's the safety awareness thing- he is outgoing in the sense that he is oblivious to whether or not it's appropriate to approach someone, haha. DH an I have our work cut out for us..

Plans for yesterday were that I had to see a client in the morning and then we went grocery shopping, then I ha a game. Today is hanging around, maybe a little cleaning, and DS has swimming this evening.

Id be friends w me- I'm loyal, friendly, and awesome. But I know that and most people have to get to know me... so I might piss myself off first... Dd totally out going. Random stranger anywhere not noticing her awesome self? "HI GUY! HOWA YOU?!?!?" And will repeat until answered and then laugh and point to herself and say "My Baby good girl!" Very proud. She thinks her name is "my baby" bc I call her that too much (seriously- id probably name my dog Dog...). Very outgoing and social! Plans for weekend? Be lost w/o phone... hence short answers and absences

I'd be friends with me, I hope! Although, I couldn't be exactly like me, kwim?

DD1 is incredibly outgoing and loves to make new friends. She's the kid at the park that's like, "Hi, I'm Quinn, wanna be my friend? Ok, let's go play!" She pretty much terrifies the shy kids

DD2 is much more reserved initially and takes a while to warm up, but is very friendly and loves to play with other kids once she's acclimated. I refer to her as the "observer."
