Family

I was talking to a friend last night about family. I don't exactly know how it came up at a superbowl party over several drinks, but it did. He's getting married this spring and we talked about his lovely bride and my wonderful girlfriend, and we just starting talking about family.

More specifically people and how they speak about their family. I love mine very much. My mom, dad and sister have always been good to me and I hope I've been just as good to them. I talk about them all the time and always in the best way. But everyone knows somebody who doesn't get along with their family. I've heard stories about mothers stealing money from their children and brothers who steal or lie or cheat.

It fascinates me that someone would be willing to spill family dirt to someone they barely know. There's an exception for close friends. . .But when I meet someone for the fist time, and later in the night they're telling me all the juicy gossip about this or that I automatically have something against them.

Maybe it's wrong of me to say or feel that but isn't it worse to disrespect the people who should be the closest to you?
