[quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone - extended family, high school and college friends, coworker buddies - anyone at all who married outside of the class of their family of origin. All the couples I know also have similar levels of education and income, but some are SAHMs or mommy-tracked by choice. I can't think of, for example, the son of a blue collar father and a retail worker mother married to the daughter of a parent or parents with advanced degrees or high-earning white collar professions. In fact, DH and I both have fathers with four-year degrees and middle incomes and mothers with high school diplomas who went back to work when the kids were in school in bookkeeping/secretarial work. The only woman I know who significantly outearns her husband is a CPA. Her DH is underemployed due to an impractical grad degree and general bad luck in launching a career. [/quote]
