[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My own family is, my DH’s family not so much. It’s weird but they prefer everyone live in a state of mediocrity so that no one person outshines another. The lowest common denominator is the bar and once you have achieved that, everything else is just bragging. So becoming an assistant manager at an Applebees is met with gushing praise, becoming a big law partner is met with eye rolls and faint praise that transitions quickly into, “did you hear that 5-year-old Larlo picked up his toys even though he didn’t want to at first?”[/quote] My mothers family is like this— I think they genuinely can only love you if they can pity and “help” you. Unfortunately our lowest common denominator is “federal prison” so it’s a pretty miserable family. They couldn’t even love my sister who was a speech specialist until she had a very brutal divorce.[/quote]
