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]

I wasn't saying you had to be born an Executive. Some people just have the character to be Executives and Executive spouses, and they are able to settle into the Executive lifestyle very comfortably and easily. Others struggle more, and while they may technically be executives, they will never truly be Executives.[/quote]
