Just something I've been thinking about...

1) When someone tells you about their child, nod and smile, and make them feel special.  Even if your child has done better (in your eyes).  Or you know someone else's child who has done better.  Trust me...a little restraint will go a long way.

2) When someone tells you something their boyfriend/spouse does that is fantastic, nod and smile, and make them feel special.  Trust me...a little restraint will go a long way.  (Do you see a pattern?)

3) When someone tells you that their spouse is going to be working out of town, comments like...

    I could NEVER be without MY husband.

    MY husband would do whatever he could to make sure he has a job locally.

    I just don't see how someone could do that to their families.

    My husband and I can't be apart for a MINUTE.

    How are the kids going to take it?

    Isn't that going to be hard?

...are never good.  Especially if you have been divorced 3 times, have been with your significant other for       less than 10 years, or you just overall exude asshattery.
