[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what they’re really asking you is why you make so little money. Meaning, you can make the same amount of money for a job that doesn’t require a degree.

My folks also don’t seem to fathom why our house is so small, and so I haven’t been inclined to have them over. And so they don’t understand why we don’t have them over, lol.[/quote]

Op here. Dh would never tell them that I don’t think they would ask. If I were a teacher they would say the same thing.
True but my job gives me a balance. I can be the primary parent. I can go to work after my kids leave for school and I am home before they come home. I can also work from home some days. In the summer we don't need to have childcare because DH and I can cover everything. They don't know how much I make but I have always told them the pay isn't the best but I enjoy my job. I also have downtime at work and I listen to a lot of podcasts/ NPR in between driving to different sites.

You might not have told them your income, but DH could be the leak. Which could be why they seem to know your income.
It’s good you’re happy with your situation. So why let their remarks bother you? Maybe just say, sorry you feel this way, but we are happy.[/quote][/quote]
