[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zara and Ilyas.[/quote]

You have great taste. I am pregnant and these are currently my favorite boy and girl names for the baby.[/quote]

Beyond having great taste, you are a second generation Iranian married to a old money new englander. You met your husband in graduate school (you were in medical school and he was in a history PhD program) at a bar in New Haven. You were never religous but were raised to be proud of your culture. You are the oldest of four daughters and the first to have children in your family. You were always responsible and knew since you were fairly young you would be a doctor. Your family is very secular, but still were surprised when you announced your engagement to your husband. They were worried about whether you would pursue that residency in neurosurgery and whether this guy would derail your plans. Your father was worried about your husband's work ethic. Your in laws had seen "Not Without My Daughter" and were worried about the inter-cultural marriage. While they didn't think you were a gold digger, they didn't know whether you would fit in with their fancy cape cod crowd.

Neither of you cared and your marriage is lovely. You had Zara and Ilyas two years apart in the middle of the neurosurgery residency on the west coast. It was hard, especially spending hours on your feet in surgery while very pregnant, but you mustered through and now work at a teaching hospital.  Your DH was a SAHD while you were in residency (although he adjuncted a bit for fun). He's working now at a community college and you live in a funky craftsman home. Your kids are in middle school now and you worry about Zara falling into the wrong crowd. She's a gorgeous kid, but you repeatedly tell her looks are not everything.  You wish Ilyas took his studies more seriously.

Your in-laws love the effect you've had on their son. He went from a stony, lazy "academic" to a hard working husband and father. You absolutely refuse money from your in laws and they respect that choice (since their other children all live on the dole). You support your parents during retirement with each of your sisters contributing a share to allow them to stay home and not work anymore. Your husband doesn't understand this, but respects your decision.[/quote]
