[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - yes she has kids too.

I think it’s FOMO because I have a terminal degree that I don’t actual use much of.

[b]My husband is in big law. He is the definition of putting his degree to use and achieving his career goals.

My job is secondary and has never been seen of as more than a means to get good health insurance[/b]. [/quote]

Couple things stand out here and I think together they indicate your DH has a very arrogant perspective on his job and the family dynamics.

Big law is using his degree just as much as any other attorney who is practicing uses their degree. In fact, unless he is in court all the time, I'd say there are plenty of attorneys in small law, public defenders, AUSAs, who all use their degree more than he does. His job is lucrative but it's not inherently "better."

You mommy tracking is what allows him to enjoy his three kids while also pursing this lucrative career. He should be intelligent enough to see this in his own but maybe he needs a reminder.

Who has never seen your job as more than a means to good insurance? Him? That is so ridiculously snooty. You make 150k - that is great money and many people support families on that (and way less than that!).

I know several men like this and they make me very angry.[/quote]
