[quote=Anonymous]My brother is a pharmacist and my
Soon to be SIL is a nanny.

My husband took 7 years to receive his undergrads and 5 additional to complete 
his MBA. I don’t judge him because I know the obstacles he faced,
Yet my mother and father are disappointed that my sil is happy being a caregiver and
has no interest in pursuing other careers. I think her long term goal is to be a SAHM.

I got grief about my husband but since he’s not established in his career, they don’t question
his work ethic anymore. Our parents had high expectations of us so I think they expected we’d meet someone within our career path, I’m not sure. But my brother is happy and we’re happy for him (hubby and me).

My mom just said while she’s happy for them people assume he’s engaged to someone highly educated as him so they go quiet or don’t say much when they find out she’s not. She said it’s annoying if anything.

She’s a sweet woman and he’s in love so I think they will come around. My mom is more fake nice than anything. 
I just remember how much my husband had to do to establish his connection with them so I feel for her. [/quote]
