SO who thinks this is obnoxious? Sarah was in the shoe store buying her little daughter shoes, and lo and behold she met Esther, a woman she was associated with when she was in high school.(whom she never really liked and was not happy to see) Hi! How are you? What are you doing these days? Where do you live? Oh, the same apartment? You havent outgrown it yet? Remember my daughter, Leah? Yeah, she just bought a townhouse. So what I am trying to say is, I dont think Esther is a malicious person, but she is definitely guilty of NOT THINKING!! In one short conversation she managed: to be a pushy nosey yenta, two gezunta potentially hurtful statements. "You havent outgrown it yet" like that could really be hurtful to some people, implying that they only have two kids, whatever. "MY daughter just bought a townhouse" I know she may be proud of her daughter but there is no need to rub it in someone's face who is still living in an apartment and a sensitive thinking person might presume that they are unable to afford a house. Years ago a guy walked into my house and said, "hey how come you guys are married X years, and only have two kids?" Some people might find that very hurtful. Anyway, people should think a little bit before they mouth off. that's all.
