This Friday or Next Friday?

Here's a question.  If it is Monday and you are talking about the upcoming Friday, is it this Friday or next Friday?  In my little world, the Friday that will arrive first is just..Friday or this Friday.  Next Friday is the one after that.

However, to my husband and mother, the next Friday is the one that comes....well, next.

As far as finding grammatical rules, it seems there are none really set in stone.  I'd like to know what other people in the wide web seem to think about this conundrum.

During the week, the upcoming Friday is always "this Friday". "Next Friday" means the Friday of next week.
