[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have my sympathies OP. Most of my extended family did not value education or careers. When my cousins got engaged or pregnant, it was celebrated like the second coming of Christ, even if they were just teenagers or in their early 20s! Meanwhile, academic and professional accomplishments were barely acknowledged at all. My mom and aunt had to explain to my grandmother why getting into college was such a huge deal for me, after she simply said, "That's nice. Did you hear that cousin so-and-so is pregnant again?" when I told her about my first college acceptance letter. [/quote Np. Yes ditto. Sounds a lot like my extended family. I think this is fairly common. Sorry OP. You need to accept it and move on. They won’t change. [/quote]
