[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it’s worth this does go both ways—I’m professionally successful and high income. My parents are hippies who don’t think I have my priorities straight. [/quote] LOL Thanks for the perspective. You just can't win...[/quote] I think if you live a very different life than how your parents lived, they feel rejected. In my case the “rejection” is a refusal to spend vacations camping and weekends weaving alpaca wool, but the dynamic is the same. [/quote] While this is true, some people are just determined to be disappointed no matter what because it's really about their own insecurity and feelings of disappointment in their own lives. My parents are disappointed my DH and I don't have more money or a nicer house, but they also think we are snobs because we read nonfiction and talk about current events at dinner.[/quote]
