Moms View Message Board: General Discussion Archive: Archive November 2005: Do you go out with "the girls"?
Scott's buddy who works for the Baltimore Sun has asked him to go to the Baltimore Ravens game tomorrow...luxury box...must be rough.
Never...but my "girls" (my sisters and close friends) are so different in age and none of them know each other, so it's okay with me. Also, I love to go dancing but none of my "married with children" friends are interested anymore. How can you not be interested in going dancing??
Yes, i do go out with the girls. My "girls" are 5 or 6 of my friends from high school. We used to see each other every few months or more. We decided that was just unacceptable so we plan to go out the first Thursday of every month. It's a standing "date". We went out to dinner in September, and went to one of the girls house's for wine and cheese and just chatting and having fun in October. November will be at another girls house and in December they are coming over to my house (with the hubbys) for a holiday dinner and a ornament exchange. It's a lot of fun every time we see each other!
Yep! Lots of fun! I have a book clun once a month as well as a Supper Club once a month that are basically just versions of girls night out! We have alot of fun!
No, all my friends live in different states.
Nope, I have no "girls". Since I became pregnant the last year of highschool and suddenly things that were important to my friends, gossip, parties, designer clothes,etc., were no longer important to me, I lost closeness. Also, one my daughter came along, she was my life, even though I was only seventeen. I never wanted to be away from her to go out with friends, and besides, I was going to college full time and working 30 hours on the weekend. We all led totally different lives.
nope i sure don't i don't really have any friends...i'm a mommy and i work outside of the home also so when i do have time off it's to do something usually with the family...
Not as often as I'd like, but yes, I do! A couple of weeks ago I went to see Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance guy) with a dear friend. It was wonderful! We went to dinner first and then out to the show. Yesterday I went out with two friends and spent the whole day shopping. What fun!
I rarely get out with the "girls" I have a very small circle of friends and most of them are single moms so we don't really get time out without the kids. I do have one friend who isn't a single mom and we go out sometimes when I don't have my children but mostly I go out with my partner, on my own or out with the "guys" occassionally and of course my little ones and I go out alot. LOL!
I wish. My "girls" are all very busy women, as am I. So any free time we usually get doen't work out with the free time the others have. We really should do something about that.
Very occasionally.....though I only have a few close friends. And 2 of them live in other states. My friend Tami and I have a tradition - we go to the Destrehan Plantation Festival every year, buy a Christmas ornament together and go out to dinner. We've done this for years.
Yes, we have 3 other families that we have become good friends with. We do something at least once a month. We rotate it..we get together with our families, we have couple time, or girls/guys night out. It is a lot of fun and we really all get along. I love my boys, but I think having time to yourself and couple time is very important too.
I occasionally do. We mainly get the kids together to play so we can catch up on "gossip", lol! If we're out without kids, it's usually to go shopping or stop by Starbucks for drinks and to chat.
My best friend and I get together at one of our homes every few weeks to chat and catch up. Our kids play wonderfully together (we both have three) and our hubbies are best friends. In fact, we met through them. We'll drop in with Starbucks one morning a month or so and chat when we've each only got our youngest home. That said, we rarely "go out" since my dh works in the evenings and weekends and her dh works a 9-5 M-F job.
Oops. I just saw your post on the Parenting board. I hope Connor is feeling better soon and that all of you are able to come home soon. The hospital isn't a comfortable place for anyone. {{{Heidi and family}}}
Yes I do!!! I came from a small town and have quite a few girl friends that have all remainded in contact. The glue that kept us together died suddenly last year and we are continuing to gather periodically in her memory. Most everyones children are older now and babysitters aren't needed so it makes it easier. We try to go out every couple months. We also have a euchre club 8 months out of the year and we include the men on this. I think it's important to keep in contact with friends.
Yes, not as often as I would like but we usually go out for dinner and sit and talk and talk. It's great fun and I feel so refreshed when I get home.
Yes, we get together once a month (usually there's about 7 of us) we pick a place to eat dinner and then we rotate each other's homes and we go back there for dessert and we talk and play games. It is so much fun and it is nice to have a break from being wife and mommy (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my family, but sometimes it is nice to let my brain and body rest!) My husband is great about keeping the girls for me when the ladies and I go out and he offers to do this once a week too just for me to do something alone.
I do.I have a few friends that we like to get together, sometimes out for breakfast, which is nice all the kids are in school. Now with the winter months coming we enjoy going bowling, maybe once a month. I enjoy my time with my girlfriends
Not really. Not a "girls night out" thing. I get out during the day with girlfriends but we take the kids to eat and play and we sit and talk. This past Friday night we had a church women's retreat and went to a state park inn. Just the girls. That was a lot of fun. Laughed so hard I almost need to wear Depends.
Atleast once a month! I would go crazy if I didn't.
Excellent pic Andi, looks like you were having-had a great time! God I would LOVE to go to Vegas. Especially with my DH and best friend!
Yes, once a month. We have a "girls group" There are 13 of us in the group (since the woman who organized it forgot to count herself
Dh works nights, so it's hard to get out. On the weekends we spend time together as a family.
Nope. My friends are busy being career women. All but one are married, but no kids. I already have 2 children. It makes it difficult. But we do talk on the phone quite a bit.
No, cause I don't have any girls!!! I really needs girls!!!
No. I was always much more likely to hang around the guys. They were the ones reading comic books and playing video games...all the cool stuff! I need to find some local moms that like to take over their children's Playstations.
