1. Men bashing shall be contained to coffee klatches, after huge family get together dish washing, and "gals night out". No men or children shall be present at the time.
    
2. Women bashing shall be confined to sports games and "guys night out". No women or children shall be present.
    
3. Any man dumb enough to walk in on the man bashing, particularly, the dishes one, gets what they deserve. If they are dumb enough to actually say something or try to defend themselves, they should count themselves lucky if they make it out alive.
    
4. Women who are too dumb to leave men alone when they are bitching deserve whatever punishment men deem fit.
    
5. DO NOT complain about current hubby to your adult child who does not like current hubby; because it is really hard to refrain from saying "Well, you married the asshole" ;-)
    
6. If alcohol is being consumed and your friend is bitching about the silliest thing ever, let it slide. We all have really dumb pet peeves.

Because lets face it, sometimes you have to bitch, but most of us are mature enough to know that the good always outweighs the bad (or else get out of the relationship) and that bitching tends to be a little exaggerated. Children however, do not understand the above.
