[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors or their husbands, I'm fine with. Doctors wives OTOH - I stay the hell away from at parties etc. I'm sure there are some normal ones but everyone I've interacted with has been a little to stuck on the fact that HER man is a DOCTOR while letting it be known she drives a Mercedes and they're off to Hawaii next week. And often while at the same party, their doctor DH will be in a different conversation complaining about loans or how he's gotten such a late start on retirement planning or whatever. Doctors' wives who have nothing going on of their own put on too many airs.[/quote]

Doctor's wife here....glad we aren't at the same parties.  If you'd deign to talk to me I could tell you about my life or even (gasp) my career (the one that allowed us to pay off his med school loan and make the downpayment on our house) or the new tires on my ten year old Honda (he drives a Mercedes, by the way... the one I paid cash for before we got married but I needed an SUV when we had kids).

Or maybe, JUST MAYBE, you might want to get to know me as a person who is proud to be married an incredibly hardworking guy (pediatric specialist) who really has a vocation, not a career.  He saves kids' lives and the stress and toll are eating him up.  But you go ahead and avoid me.... I think I'd prefer that, anyway.[/quote]
