[quote=Anonymous]So getting married to her best friend who she knew was "the one" in her early 20s was naive? Supporting her husband while he finished school, then taking the time to reflect and figure out what she wants to do once her husband is in a position to reciprocate is not smart and discards all the values your mother raised you with?

That's a whole lot of judgment for you to be carrying around. It's also rather bold that you felt free to share your disapproval the night before her wedding and again now when she's only been unemployed for all of 4 months. (Was no one in your family or circle of friends affected by the recession? My best friend was un/underemployed for 2 years!) You come off as harsh here. I'm sure your sister picks up on what you really think, even if you're trying to be diplomatic in your delivery. Your sister is an adult, has been living as an adult for long time, and you need to work on accepting that.

Honestly, if my sister behaved like you have, I have her at arms length as much as possible - she certainly wouldn't know about my current employment situation, family planning decisions, how happy or unhappy my marriage is - nothing that invites the condescension or your speculation as to what my mother would think of me now. Also - you're still a student! Why do you feel you have so much more adult life experience than she does? You may be older but you don't sound wise. [/quote]
