Wife of an executive here. If you had that much difficulty transitioning to fit in, you probably still don't.[/quote]

As the Mother of an Executive, I must respectfully disagree. Becoming an Executive and an Executive's family is something you can attain, it is not hereditary. Over the past decade I have witnessed my son blossom into his role as Executive, and I am happy to report that his wife and my grandchildren have had little trouble ascending with him.

I will not beat around the bush: my son grew up poor. We were not able to give him everything we wanted to. But one thing we did imbue him with was a decisiveness and a vision that led him, perhaps inexorably, to Executive status. He chose a wife who, while a little rough around the edges, was also willing to learn to do whatever it took, to make whatever sacrifices were necessary, to join him for that ride.

Last Saturday, as I posed with my son and his lovely wife on the portico of their double-height porch in Mclean for a family photo, my little grandson in his lounge suit in my arms, I realized that  yes, we had all now made it. And I include myself in that.[/quote]

Are you serious?

Don't get me wrong, I would be pleased if my MIL appreciated our status (gained ourselves, with no one's encouragement, help, or anything - which makes us proud - not so if anyone handed us anything, BTW); but really?  You are trolling, right?  "Rough around the edges"?  Who are you, Martha Stewart?  Doubtful. Really, really, really doubtful.

OP, IRL you either have it or you do not.  You can't "make Executive status" just because your "spouse did".  It is surely as ridiculous as it sounds! Go to school, get your sorry arse a respectable job on your own, get yourself your own respectable status, then come back and talk to us.  THAT is how ti si achieved.  Holy crap.  [b]I can't believe I am indulging this in the least. [/b]

I know right?  Amazing the crap that people believe.[/quote]

eh, give her a break.  She can be proud of her son for his achievements.  She IS the mom of her son, The Executive.[/quote]
