[quote=Anonymous]In a rush, but to clarify some things: Never denied being a doctor, simply did not get into specifics. My husband didn't promise it TO the family member, at least not from what I gather, just says that it is what he will be doing as a gift to them. I don't think, at least I hope not, that he has had clear conversations with any of them about these gifts but are more surprises and tokens of his love.

Compromise my anonymity- I said make me identifiable, as in to people that I know read here and do not feel the need to have people I know to know my personal business, or it getting back to my DH! Is that really a hard concept?

My DH did not make more while I was in school, he was in grad school at the same time. The scholarships I was afforded allowed him to not have the pressure of working and to focus on his studies. In the first two years of residency he earned more but I have since earned the same or more. The point is not about earning more, it's about his attitude towards money. When we left high school we knew the path I was going down and that I would probably make more than him for the rest of our lives, that was not an issue.

To the PP if you made a lot of sacrifices for your spouse to become a physician yay for you. The fact is my DH worked regular hours, focused on his own program in school as much as I did. We lived with my parents for some time which helped with logistics and sorts and my SAHM sister has provided most of the fulltime care for our children and both her and my mother stepped in for the long nights. Both of whom are very traditional and were happy to intervene. We sat down with my family and made the collective decision of where we needed help when children were brought into the mix. They have done an amazing job in helping us and my DH was rarely left alone because he could not handle infants/toddlers. We have also had to hire nannies and babysitters to fill in the gap. Don't apply your own to situation to mine, my DH would probably tell you himself how it was much easier than he expected, because he always had help!

And in that regard, his family has always lived far away and never/call or visit. I primarily speak to his sister and set up visits for us to go see them and he talks to his parents every now and then, neither of which make any attempts to be involved.

Okay end rant. [/quote]
