[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents sound overly concerned with money & status…they sound elitist & classist. They do not have the same values as you, OP, you seem to care more about quality of life (choosing a degree in a field you enjoy that can also provide for your family).

I would ignore all of their statements. They want to shame you into feeling how they do, which you shouldn’t - they are being unkind, all for the sake of pushing a consumer driven society. Blech.

You’re not likely to change them, which is why I would just ignore & remind yourself that your values are diffferent. [/quote]

OP here. They really are something... DH is south asian (Maldives), and they constantly say he's Indian, but he's not from India. I used to correct them, and they would say "same thing". My grandmom constantly puts down Muslim women and talks about how they are taking over her condo building, and it's those women who have a lot of kids and wear stuff off their heads. I have told her a million times they are Muslim women, and it's disrespectful to talk about them like that. The neighbors have done nothing but be nice to her. It's their choice how many kids they want to have or what they want to wear. [/quote]

op here. talk about them. she doesn't talk to them badly. she's very sweet grand mom type in person.
