15. I lose respect for people like that.. years ago, my boss said something similar to me
Our first child was born with a serious birth defect and she said. "How wonderful for you, God must know you are the perfect parents for this child, and he never gives you more than you can handle"..

I know she was trying to "be positive", but i could have popped her one..

For her to just "assume" that we were re;ligious and "thankful" for the trauma we had just started with, was more than I could bear..

She had to really woo me to get me back to work, and I never thought of her as a "kindly grandma-type" again..
