Lets say you were the same age as your SS or SD but you were their classmate and never met their parents. If the kid was to approach you, would they be trying to be your friend, start problems, or ignore you? In that situation, what do you imagine you would think about him/her?

Ss11 would have probably tried to be my friend but quickly moved on to someone else. He's not into reading, drawing or creative writing ...which is what I loved doing at that age (while at school). He's not the type to quietly focus on anything that take any kind of effort.

I would not have wanted to be his friend.I always avoided the kids that were always in trouble. He has add and his mannerisms are quite annoying and drive most kids away...I know that I'd have had nothing to do with him as a kid.

Sd10 probably would not have tried to be my friend. I was never the cool popular kid and she would have seen me as beneath her. She is that stereotypical mean girl at school. Sweet while the teacher is looking but is mean and vicious to keep the other kids beneath her. I would have avoided her like the plague. As an adult I despise bullies like her on moral grounds, and as a kid I was just terrified of them.

SD17 would approach me as a friend, until we had a difference of opinion and then she would want to verbally fight me and debate me half to death. I would also think she carried herself weird. SD17 is strange, she is 5 foot and 98 lbs, she isnt overly feminine and she doesnt dress like the rest of tids. She looks like she stepped out of LL Bean, so I would probably think, this chick is weird. Is she gay or just tom boyish?

SS's would have ignored me. They ignore everyone (so I guess when they do it to me IRL I shouldn't be offended, huh??). Everyone is beneath them, or so they act. They hardly have any friends now (one maybe?) and they're late teens.

SD would be sweet, she'd try too hard to get attention, but I'd play with her because she's genuinely friendly and caring, ss I don't know, he'd get me in trouble a lot because kids do tend to follow each others actions and he just doesn't understand appropriate behavior, I'd still probably play with him because he is very active and I'd probably play tag and cops and robbers with him (which we did last night, well sd and ss did I played medic when they'd "hurt" each other with tazers lol)
I'm lucky they both have their issues, but it's upbringing and environment not their personalities. They do seem to be grasping we have a higher level of acceptable in this house compared to burping, and farting and nasty language (yes we curse no they cannot use "adult" words but some of what they've been taught and allowed as ways around cursing is just disgusting)they have good manners their dad has expected since they were little, but even he's learning burping and farting noises or forcing them out at dinner will not be accepted, it's not funny at all.
