People in the parenting section, do you have close friendships with your contacts outside of Answers?

Meaning, have you ever met any of your online contacts and what was it like. I've become friends with a couple of you, mind you a very few, cause you all are so many, but I appreciate the friendships I have made. Do you all still discuss your kids and parenting issues or do you leave that for answers?People in the parenting section, do you have close friendships with your contacts outside of Answers?
I'm very close with two of the mommies on here, and I'm currently planning a vacation to meet them. We discuss our children, our husbands, our lives..anything really. We talk as if we've been friends forever.People in the parenting section, do you have close friendships with your contacts outside of Answers?
I have a few people that I talk to but they are from the marriage and divorce section. I have never met anyone, we just email each other. A few are men and one is a woman. The woman and I had planned to meet this coming summer but we had to postpone that. I answered one of her questions and she seeks advise from me. I am older than her mother but she won't talk to her mother about the things she has problems with. I have no plans to meet any men.
There's a handful of contacts that I ';talk'; to outside of YA, mainly in the form of e-mails, texts, myspace, and facebook. There are 2 contacts that I have talked to on the phone a few times, and they are fantastic!!!!!!! We talk mainly about parenting things, but other personal things as well.
I have not met any in person, although I email back and forth with a few of my contacts, and am friends with a few others on facebook. We mostly discuss our kids, but sometimes delve into other conversation :). I really appreciate the friendships I have made from here and I genuinely hope to make many more!
i have one person i consider my friend. i keep trying to convince her to move closer. i'm swaying her with shopping and beaches.





i have others that i will email occasionally. most everyone i have as a contact i like. i would feel comfortable emailing more of them but i'm kinda lazy about friendships plus the whole little kids thing makes it a little harder
I talk to a few on facebook but haven't actually met anyone yet. There's one in particular whom I speak to often and we chat about anything, including (but not restricted to) our children and parenting techniques.


I'v made some great friends on here - and a few enemies too!
No, and I have no interest in doing so. For real-life friends I have my ... real life friends. On here, I've found some fun and smart people who keep me entertained and are great for exchanging ideas with. That's plenty valuable and I see no point in changing it into anything else.
I would love to meet some of my contacts, a couple I have got really close too. But for the most part I do just enjoy my time on here and take it at face value.





Love you long time

I have a few people on here that are also my friends on myspace but we don't really talk, I'm usually on facebook anyways. I've never met anyone on here in person.





It would be nice to have online friends.





No one likes me I guess. LOL
I do have several contacts that I talk to outside of YA... I haven't met them in person... But I guess I'm going to have to start driving for 5 hours one day and see what happens............ :)





I bet our boys would get along so well, lol
I have never met any of them. I have some of them on my Myspace and we talk there occasionally and through email here. I think it would be fun to meet some of them, see if they are really like how I imagine them to be.
Yes, one person that answered. I wish I did live closer so I could show her how to take advantage of her area! grr. We must *live* at the beach... every weekend. lol





We discuss our kids and a bunch of other stuff. :)
I talk to really, only one.


BUt I love her.


And I would love to meet her but the chick wont meet me half way!!


Sheesh! It's only like 5 hours, Ive heard.
I'm starting to, it's taking a bit. I'm hard to like i think.
I don't have any friends on here.
Hell between us we have 5 kids between 2.5 and 6.5.





I'd be more than happy to tell you about my failures.
Nope.
No i haven't but it would be nice to.
