Thats a great point Plonkee, I totally feel like we're not being listened to. I've tried giving the benefit of the doubt and see it from their point of view as though maybe they think this is such a great opportunity that they want to share it?? But we were pretty blunt when they first brought it up - time being the main factor. Neither of us would have time to run this business.

It reminds me of a scene from this movie called "Go", where this couple invite this other couple over and halfway through dinner the real reason comes out. They bring up this business called "confederated products" saying everything in their home is a result of confederated products.... the guy then goes "do you mean like amway", the husband says "no no, not amway, confederated products!" almost in frustration!

I can see the funny side of it, but overall i'm disappointed. Dh and i have no combined friends. He has HIS friends and I have MINE. We really want to make friends with other couples who have kids. This seemed to have potential but i'm feeling really dubious now.
