SO interesting, and SUCH a great post. I need to go reread b/c there were some things that seemed maybe a bit contradictory in there....Should we speak our minds & tell them to please shut it, or should we just nod & "be there" because that's what a person needs? IDK. I can't really chip in my 2 cents b/c I have never felt more let-down by some of my friends than I do now. After all the years of listening & time & money spent on phone calls & airline tickets even, they cannot return the favor. Apparently there is a statute of limitation on length of time for crisis.<br /><br />Relationships should be 50/50 but on a daily basis I think they run more like 40/60 depending on who's having the bigger crisis. And I think that's totally fair. But I will say I had THE most spectacular group of women back in Charleston (8 of us, plus the addons of a few others). I never imagined being able to have a group dynamic like that ESP with all of us JUST having had our first babies. (hormones) We are all SO different in every aspect - shape, size, parenting skills, income, interests, etc. And yes there are aspects about each person that annoyed me (annoyed each of us, I am sure!) but I do remember the JR HI feeling rearing it's head in me at one point and I just decided....Hell...these are WONDERFUL women, I learn so much from each one, and we support one another something fierce. So I just take the great aspects of each person & revel in those. No one is perfect. I've found that to be the key to my happiness with friends both men and women. And from then on, I pick & choose my friends more selectively. I would rather give a great deal to a small few than just a little bit to many. IDK. INteresting post, so well written, and I think you & dooce shoudl get together & hash this out!Anntastic23https://www.blogger.com/profile/08005843499133337396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793868153493544927.post-44174317037690157412010-01-25T12:52:25.818-08:002010-01-25T12:52:25.818-08:00Bill, I'm also a good friend to boys. and dads...Bill, I'm also a good friend to boys. and dads.katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272162330202956377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793868153493544927.post-49154741798917641762010-01-25T10:30:21.567-08:002010-01-25T10:30:21.567-08:00A friend will help a body move.

I think sometimes the dynamics are more set as to wether or not the group is truly friends or just "more than acquaintances". I do bite my tongue and try to "tone myself down" when I'm around a group of women that aren't my true friends. With my true friends I can be as blunt, harsh, happy, sad, whatever and we all come through it. That is the difference, that is the weird. We don't trust everone so we act differently with those we don't trust. There can be a group of friends like Sex and the City, as long as everone is themselves and everyone comes from a friendly place in their criticisms.<br /><br />I bet boyfriend blogger girl has some big secret, like she's terrified of being alone that she hides behind her bravado...because she doesn't trust her friends.Froggyladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424207835110606239noreply@blogger.com
