This is silly! My DH is an c-level exec. It didn't affect us at all because at home his title means nothing. He still does dishes and takes out the trash. But maybe this is because I have my own career?!

He will never rise above C-level, unless you embrace your role as Executive Wife and quit your career. He needs you! Your children need you! You will never Rise unless you do what you have to do.

Leave her. She needs more time. She is not yet ready to Transition.

I posted above. You are all correct! I have been selfish. Tomorrow I am resigning from my job and joining the Junior League and DAR. I need to start meeting the right people to secure our rightful ascent into the CCC. I will now shop in my tennis whites and trade in my sad car for a black Range Rover. My children have been wearing what they want instead of Vineyard Vines and hairbows the size of Texas.

As God is my witness, I will always wear a quilted jacket and Tory Burch flats. Because my DH is an Executive, damn it!

Bless you, you are truly doing the Lord's work.

All promotions have downward affects; it's the "executive" part that is grating.

Let me guess: you are not an Executive?
Well, my Hubby is, and I can tell you from experience that the Transition was a difficult one in many ways. Though we are very blessed in our new situation, it did involve new friends, a new house, new foods, and a new and enriched Etiquette. Anonymous fora can be a Godsend in this regard.

Let me guess: you're a mail order bride? You don't need to randomly capitalize words for emphasis.

NP. My DH is not an executive. PP's post sounds a bit jealous. Why the "mail order bride" comment? No, I'm not a mail order bride, but I'm Asian American (came here as an infant). I've had this statement hurled at me before because my DH is white, but who is a green card holder and a recent immigrant to here. You really don't know people's circumstances so, stfu.

Kudos for you for using proper grammar. Mail order brides can come from Bosnia or Russia, fyi.

I thought wearing your husband's rank only happened in the military. I learned something new today!

Was this snark? Yea, I know mail order brides can come from really anywhere.

Executive wives (and most CCC members) shun the JL women. Anyone can join- it's for the wannabe Executive wives. You need to find an appropriate charity or two and sit on the board! If there's not a charity near and dear to your heart, your children's school will do just fine. You'll also note you won't find any JL members at your kids' school. These women send their kids to school in North Arlington or McLean- definitely not appropriate for Junior Executives.
