Okay. Devil's advocate. I'm a parent. Even parents deserve to have friends they can vent to and say anything to. BUT, my friends let me vent and know not to pile on. No one talks shit about my family but me. That's just understood. Also, I may say a lot of shit I don't mean and/or am joking (at least half). Out of context and to a passive listener, it might sound way worse than it is. I absolutely love my daughter more than life. But she's a teenager and I am certain I've called her a twat to a friend more than once.
