[quote=Anonymous]My husband is Bangladeshi, and I am a white stay-at-home mom. It's very typical in his culture for women not to work. My advice is to care less about whatever your parents, in-laws, and DCUMs think about your choices. Your kids are only young ONCE. You have options a lot of women don't have. I think Indians are too obsessed with career life. It comes across as judgemental, and I don't think it makes anyone genuinely happy to be that obsessed. Since you know it's not as common, find friends that aren't Indian. It's not a Desi thing. It's more of an Indian item. I know a ton of Pakistani and Bangladeshi stay-at-home moms in this area. A lot of stay-at-home moms tend to be religious. They find other stay-at-home moms at church, temple, mouse, etc. Lighten up and find friends that gasp might not be highly educated.[/quote]
