Bec<p>I was chatting to one of Kid3's friends in the kitchen the other week, and he was saying that he helped his mum in the garden now and then. </p><p>'I find it kind of boring,' he admitted.</p><p>And while I was weeding today, I was thinking how there is a bunch of things like that in your childhood, isn't there? But it's still good to have those experiences, even the boring ones, the chores. I didn't really love gardening as a child either, or makig food, or practising piano – I would have rather been reading or playing with my pets or hanging out with friends.</p><p>And now cooking, gardening, playing music... they're skills I have and ones I've grown better at myself through practice, and more importantly, I love doing them.</p><p>When I spoke to the friend, I reassured him that he might come to enjoy the gardening later and he smiled (because he is 14 and later is forever away, isn't it?)</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/parenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parenting</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conversations</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>
Ms. Que Banh<p>I do not enjoy small talk &amp; find it exhausting/boring as heck.<br>I enjoy meaningful conversations &amp; find them energizing/inspiring as heck.<br>I also really appreciate folks who invest time to initiate quality conversations. It shows me they are not lazy with their communications &amp; don't expect me to initiate all the time.</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Communication</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/PersonalPreferences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalPreferences</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversations</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/SkipTheSmallTalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkipTheSmallTalk</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/AuDHD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuDHD</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a></p>
