Last week, my child had a friend come to vist, and both parents came to pick him up.The husband was profusely complimenting us on our home (it's not flash - just a humble, but well-kept home), our kids and how presentable they always are, and their good behaviour.This was all very nice of course, but the compliments came at the expense of his wife. He even said things like that I have 4 kids and look how orderly everything is, she (his wife) has only 2 and can't keep up with things. I was so shocked and embarrassed that I really didn't know what to say.He wasn't drunk, and they didn't appear to have been fighting or anything before so I just don't understand it. I am married,so it's not as though the compliments were to flirt with a single mother or anything like that. I didn't know what to say but just changed the subject, but he mentioned it again, and his wife just said "Oh well we can't all be mrs perfect". I felt so uncomfortable. I cried when they left.How will I face her again?
