[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 632053, member: 15473"] The group of friends I have here are really great people but they tend to be polar opposites. We all get along when everyone is together but there are two families who would never socialize with one another without either my family or my best friends family as a buffer. Its weird but when all the families are there we get along just fine. As soon as one of the difficult families steps away discussion turns to them. I dont like it because it makes me uncomfortable to listen to one disparage the other when I know that both families have legitimate reasons behind their actions. I have this weird ability to see both sides of the coin even when I don't want to. To me the only things that are deal breakers are things that are horrific or illegal. I don't judge people who raise their kids differently, have different religious values, etc etc etc. Not to say I always understand their point of view or agree with it but I just dont feel I have the right to judge unless it is harming someone or something. Anyway I get what you mean about the tension between the girls. I sometimes feel that tension between my friends and I am glad that someone is there to buffer them. They are all really good people and while they don't agree on much they don't back stab either (at least not in an over the top way). Of course we have all been known to talk about situations as a group but not in a malicious way. More in a how did that happen way? Glad to hear difficult child is moving on with his career and I hope it works out where he finds the position he has been looking for. [/QUOTE]
