[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](OP again) So there’s one other dynamic here that I’m thinking of - and that’s the way we were raised. My mother raised my sisters with a lot more social freedom growing up and less academic pressure. My parents in the 90s became academics (they had just gotten PhDs) and pressured me to do well in school. I don’t regret that at all - but I was raised to believe that kids who got straight As would become more successful than kids who didn’t care and got C’s. But my sisters did the opposite - they prioritized relationships and having fun. I prioritized school, brand name universities, and getting a DC job. I’ve accomplished more, professionally (being a mother IS an accomplishment, to their credit) and had more unconventional experiences, but a lower standard of living to show for my hard work.

OP, I am more impressed by you than your half-sisters. Any woman can have unprotected sex and have children. It's not an accomplishment. Your half-sisters are screwed if their husbands ever divorce them or die by suicide (no life insurance for them). They won't be able to find lucrative work like you do so I truly think you're in a better position. [/quote]

What a weird take. If they are genuinely well off and they divorce, the sisters will get half. And have children. And not all these weird resentments. So ahead of the OP by a long shot...[/quote]
