[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I have done well for ourselves. We live states away from family, have raised our kids on our own and they're thriving. We make good money and have taken some vacations and have some nice things in our house - and my parents are so judgy for it. My mom, in particular, gives the silent treatment whenever we mention taking a vacation, or for instance when we bought a car a few years ago (nothing ostentatious, but a nicer model than they would opt for). It's so messed up. My parents aren't poor by any means, they've done well, but they are so uncomfortable with the level we're at. My sister, on the other hand, hasn't done as well career wise or family wise, yet she benefits from childcare and money from our parents (by way of a week at the beach, an old car, etc). I think my parents love being needed in that way and they hate that we're not dependent. It's so screwed up. You can't win.[/quote]
