Friends.....where do you draw the line with any friends......the money discussion for me is a big one certainly, I grew up in an environment where money, religion and politics were discussions not for the dinner table, and avoided as much as possible....I believe that is a good thing for the most part though the religion and politics can be fun to debate with the right people at the right time.

We all have drama and troubles in our lives, sometimes it is hard to see that we aren't the only ones in this position though, which is where discussing them with people we feel are our friends can help. When we have a friend who is always in a negative mood though, it is a big downer, and who really wants to be there........of course it depends on many factors (type of relationship, length of it...you get the jist)

For me this is an interesting thread.....being in a small place like we are, the potential playmates are limited, and being friends with them in both a vanilla setting and a swinging setting is necessary. We have yet to swing, and I am perusing this board regularly to help us in setting our own rules.....this is one of the factors that hadn't come to mind as a possible problem. Thanks for the food for thought!
