[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If half-sisters were latchkey kids, it means that OP’s mom had to work and no one was home to support the sisters like OP was supported. Mother remarried and OP was born into a more stable household.  That can make a huge difference in how well the sisters did academically and professionally. Count your blessings, OP. [/quote]

Fair point, I guess I didn’t really think of it like that. I’d always say we were varying degrees of middle class. Generally it was a matter of people earning more later in life. My sisters father and my mother were probably LMC working parents in the 70s-80s. As was my father when he first met my mother. My sisters’ childhood in the 80s and early 90s was probably harder, certainly financially.

It’s easy I guess to fixate on the current situation, which is me scraping by to own a small condo and pay student loans [b]while my sisters got free mansions. [/b]I do have some pride in probably having the highest earning power at my age and best career. And it’s not over, who knows who I’ll meet or what I’ll earn down the road. [/quote]Wow, OP, let it go. You have shown you can provide for yourself.  Be proud of that. It's weird how much you've fixated on your sisters' lives.  Maybe consider some therapy around this?[/quote]
