Friends fit in all sorts of different categories. There are friends who you have known forever, and whether you see them all of the time or not, you stay friends. There are right now friends, who are fun but may not be here too long. Friends from work that you don't really socialize with outside of school functions. Friends from school who you have a lot of memories with that you may not have that much in common with anymore. There are family friends, who like it or not you kind of have to be in their lives. Then there are the friends that are not really friends at all, you wouldn't confide in them or go to them for comfort, but you just can't find it in you to cu them out completely. There are so many different kinds of friends that you meet in all sorts of different ways and love for all different reasons.
When your children introduce you to their friends, realize this. You may not get the best first impression of them, but for one reason or another, your child wants that person in their life. At least for now. You may grow to love them, you may not. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully you did your job and your child can know what kind of people are quality.
