The IDGAF Guide to Friendship

At first glance, one might question the foundation of our friendship or the endurance it has shown over the years. We may hold differing political or religious beliefs, come from varied backgrounds, and possess distinct personality traits. Our interactions often take the form of text messages, emails, and social media correspondence, peppered with the occasional phone call.

Our families may vary widely, and our approaches to parenting may not always be in sync. We could live in contrasting homes, in different cities, or even across the globe. Yet, none of that truly matters. What counts in a friendship are the vital aspects, while there are plenty of things I simply IDGAF about.

For example, I don’t care what dietary choices you make for your family. Whether you opt for an all-organic, non-GMO menu or allow your children to indulge in Cheez Doodles daily, it’s all good by me. Whether you prefer family dinners where everyone eats the same dish or you prepare 17 different meals for your picky eaters, I’m unfazed. Just don’t look down on me because my pantry stocks Pop Tarts, Lucky Charms, and Pringles or lecture me on the merits of juicing—because that’s just not on my agenda.

Your professional identity is also irrelevant to me. Whether you are a working mom, a stay-at-home parent, or someone juggling multiple roles, I don’t care. What matters is that we can vent together about the challenges we face, whether in the office, at home, or in daily life. After all, what’s friendship for if not for those cathartic moments of shared struggle?

I’m not concerned about the state of your home or car either. Whether your living room is immaculate or cluttered with toys and snacks, it doesn’t matter to me. The only thing I care about is whether I have to worry about taking off my shoes when I visit. A good friend should know whether you prefer a shoes-off policy or not.

When it comes to parenting styles—or even if you are a parent at all—I don’t judge. I care about how you treat my children and whether you respect my parenting choices, even if they differ from your own. If you’re a judgmental person, it might be time to reevaluate our connection. And, of course, if our kids get along, it makes our friendship even more enjoyable as we can gossip and share our parenting woes while they entertain each other.

Likewise, I don’t care about your political, religious, or cultural affiliations. Whether your entertainment choices lean toward reality TV or news broadcasts, what truly matters is whether we can enjoy simple pleasures together, like indulging in cookie dough and sipping cheap wine while watching a classic movie. Your beliefs are respected as long as they are informed and sincere.

Kindness and a good heart are the cornerstones of any meaningful friendship. As I age, I find myself caring less about trivial matters and focusing more on whether you genuinely care about me, whether you respond to my messages, and if you support my decisions even when we don’t see eye to eye. I value the effort put into maintaining our friendship and knowing I can rely on you during tough times.

Do we trust each other with our secrets? Can we express our frustrations without fear? Friendship requires vulnerability, and it often gets messy. What truly matters is whether we can be authentic with one another, allowing a glimpse behind the curtain of our lives without running away. That essence of friendship, coupled with shared stories and inside jokes, is what makes it all worthwhile.
