Keep your friends close, and your Frenemies closer!

We've all had them. Friends that were really enemies. How do you define what a frenemy even is. The Urban dictionary defines them as "someone who is both friend and enemy" a dual kind of friend. It could be a song, they say your their friend, but their not. But its true, we all have people who bring us down, who navigate the boat of relationships down the wrong road, all the while throwing the rowers into deep water, with sharp teethed fish prowling around. What do you do? What if it is a family member. You can't fire family right. What if it is an employee, that actually does their job and a good one at that. I think the solution belongs in how you handle these people, by establishing strong boundaries. Letting them know that their wicked ways just have to stop. That you have spied them out. Doing the double fork fingers from your eyes to their eyes is just not enough. Honesty is the best policy. Once you let the frenemy know you are onto them, be prepared for murky waters, the ones without the oars. Here is a list of a couple of movies to check out with great frenemy sub plots: 1. frenemies starring Zakk Galfainkus 2. Dodge Ball Vince Vaughn 3. Due date Robert Downey Jr. 4. I love you man Paul Rudd Check these movies out, and decide to keep your enemies close, and your frenemies closer.
