[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound jealous of her $200k HHI and the fact that she's getting her PhD.  Are you a SAHM? [/quote]

LOL -- ok, first of all, your post insults SAHMs. second of all, i'm not a SAHM. my husband and i have a HHI of $350,000. we just got back from a 2.5 week European vacation.

i am not jealous of her PhD in the humanities. [/quote]

Obviously, your sister, on some level, realizes you are a complete, utter bitch and is getting distance from you. Because your disdain is crazy obvious.

We can close the thread now, lol.[/quote]

How am I a complete, utter bitch by telling the truth when someone asks me an insulting question?[/quote]

DP, curious why you found a question about whether you're a SAHM offensive. Is there something wrong with being a SAHM?[/quote]

Because it came as part of a question asking whether i'm jealous of a certain income and academic achievement. It implicitly assumes that a SAHM would be some person who sits there and is jealous of others who are out there accomplishing things. I found the question insulting precisely because I don't think there's anything wrong with being a SAHM.

The reason I have these expectations of my sister is because in my family, it is a given that we go to one another's graduations, birthday parties, etc. I recognize that this isn't the case for everyone, but it is the case for my family. As a result, her decision to not attend my family's events (while making it clear she expects me to attend her events) is anomalous. [/quote]

Up until recently I was a SAHM, and I was incredibly jealous of my friends who were working or going back to school because as much as I valued the work I was doing at home, I was also bored to tears. There is nothin wrong with being a SAHM, but that doesn't mean that some SAHMs don't feel jealous of their working counterparts sometimes.[/quote]
