[QUOTE="witzend, post: 115091, member: 99"] I gotta tell you, people are "political" wherever you go. In families, at work, in neighborhoods, at school. Wherever you go there is going to be a pecking order. What kind of house do you live in? Where does your husband work? Where did you go to college? Or did you go to college at all? What kind of car do you drive? Who did you vote for? What's your religion? What's your heritage? How well did your children grow up? When you decide that the people who [i]think[/i] you aren't good enough for them, are actually not good enough for you, it won't bother you as much. I would also consider taking this clod aside and telling her "I don't know if you realize it, but your comment about good children coming being a testament to good parents really hurt me." I bet she'll say something stupid like "I didn't mean [i]you[/i]!" People are idiots. All you can do is help them understand how ignorant they seem when they make generalized statements. [/QUOTE]
