[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a privilege and a luxury for an educated, qualified person to choose not to work. There are pros and cons to each choice, but surely you can see the advantage to being a stay at home parent.

Your friends sound privileged and honest. With the exception of the "mama didn't raise no fool" one, this is just the life they landed, and I don't begrudge them their choice to leave the workforce. It wouldn't be my preference, but it's their right. [/quote]

Op here. Sure! But is it normal to feel so smug about it? Especially in front of a friend who did not luck out in the rich husband category?

I’ve been around their self congratulatory selves for a while and they’re obvious smugness is grating. I’m jealous sure but I would be less so if they would let me forget about their good fortunes for a sec.

I have another friend who is also dating a tech millionaire but she is so grounded and normal. It doesn’t even occur to her that she can be a glitzy SAHM and is continuing to focus on her skill set in data analysis and is still her old self. We’re still close. [/quote]
