[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the high road but be persistent. "Please don't insult my husband."

If it weren't about the job it would be about something else, and these people need to be called out on their rudeness. In my family it's all about how some people are too fat or their houses aren't nice enough. It's self-righteous and rude and it's not how families should act toward one another. [/quote]

This. This is what I say. My husband is an internist and he does quite well but it seems never enough for his family. But my SIL's husband (DH's younger sister) is a surgeon, and this is something she likes to mention at every instance. "Well, my DH, being a SURGEON, is never home for dinner" etc. etc. And has said something to me like 'Well, you don't understand because your DH is just a generalist". etc. etc. Its really annoying. She likes to put down her brother, I think because she is not in medicine, didn't get into med school?  I don't know. Some sort of insecurity where she lives through her DH. So I just keep saying calmly 'Please stop insulting my husband". For the most part, saying this calmly, repeatedly, like a broken record, works. [/quote]
