[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sahm here who is married to a physician. We have two young kids and the daily grind was getting to be too much so I have decided to stay home-at least for a few years. I’m still trying to find my community but it seems like every desi couple we know are dual high powered couples (both doctors/ bankers/ attorneys combos) And on top of that my in-laws are making me feel like a failure because I opted out of the rat race. 
Are there any liked minded Indian Americans out there and where can I find them?[/quote]

It might be hard for you to gel with those unicorns, since you are a PhD yourself.

If an Indian American girl was recognized to be good at studies, her family has encouraged her from elementary school to get a high-powered career. The ones who are SAHM are going to be the ones who did not study well or are from a religious background, mostly Muslims. Honest opinion.[/quote]

I am not sure what you mean by they didn't study well, but you're on to something. Careers have become a religion for some. Muslims tend to value stay-at-home moms more than career life. [/quote]
