[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I have always been worried it would be subtlety used against me in terms of getting promotions.  I mommy tracked myself for a decade before going for management. I am now a director, so it did not hinder me thankfully.  But our HHI is closer to $700,000 whereas my boss and bosses boss HHI is probably more like $300-$400K.  Obviously all very high HHI but I sometimes feel awkward when people learn what my husband does for a living.  Like we were 30 and bought an expensive house and my work colleagues were surprised we could afford a house so young, etc. [/quote]

Identical situation here.  We're now mid 40s.  Some people, usually peers that get to know us, are jealous.  I learned the hard way not to befriend my work colleagues, so now there are no jealousy issues.  No one who will get jealous knows where we live and our kids attend private school.  Everyone i work with can afford private, unless they have like 5 kids, so that's no indicator of wealth, but more a reflection of values. My bosses never seem to care.  They all have SAHWs and older children, some attended public, some private.[/quote]
