I love and respect her, but I don't have to agree with her.
I just cannot believe the balls that some people have in going to someone's home to say something like that.

My grandma was the same way. (She passed away a few years back, at the age of 92). She never met my husband, since by the time I was dating him, she was pretty senile and in a nursing home 800 miles away. But I'm sure if she had met him, considering her state of mind at the time, she probably would have thought he was a "servant" and asked him to bring her a glass of water or something. And if she'd met him while she still had her mind intact, she would have been totally disgusted. So yeah, I can definitely see your point.
The sad thing is that there are many people our age that feel that way as well. Unfortunately, some families continue to pass it down from generation to generation. Kind of like those girl singers in the other thread.
