I don't get the vibe that OP acts superior towards her family. She made statements here to us, just so we'd understand the situation.

You'll just have to restrict info even more, and try not to get irritated during the inevitable times when something slips through and they act all shocked.[/quote]

Typical dcum response.

Op I experience the same from my mom but a lot has to do with her attitudes towards women. It's also that she has a mentality of supporting the underdog and in doing so feels it's necessary to put down anyone who is successful. A normal parent would be proud but it makes my mother angry that spouse and I have done well. I have never discussed salaries, costs of things etc. Her favorite struggled academically and never made it through college. He lives in a low col area and makes enough to do well but his spending is insane and has caused 2 divorces. He bought a second, large expensive boat as they were close to bankruptcy without consulting spouse. She rescues him every time. I keep my distance from all of them because of the resentment and dysfunction. There is nothing you can do. [/quote]
