[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I looked more closely at OP’s responses just now.

OP, what anybody thinks of you and your choices is not your business. They may be gauche and share what they think about you, but it is truly not something you should concern yourself with. Starting from the title of your thread and extending to the lengthy explanations for why you make your particular choices, you seem to have this need for external validation. You are never going to get universal approval: from friends, from family, from DCUM. Who cares if your sister is envious? So she snarks -just picture your next nice vacation that you say she cannot afford and be happy about that.

Sibling relationships are especially fraught with competition. When you engage in the nonsense, it’s very easy to be knocked off your horse.[/quote]
+1 Not sure why your post has prompted so many bizarrely judgmental people to post, but your sister’s comments are both deeply annoying and passive aggressive while also being things you should dismiss. She clearly feels insecure about her financial situation and your success and feels the need to take it out on you. That’s just immature and sad. If you care about the relationship, just work on being the bigger person. She’s obviously not in the best place, or she wouldn’t do this. Let it slide.

You owe no explanations to the faux concerned posters here worried for your kids’ well being.  My DH and I have also focused a lot on making sure we are financially successful, and it has in no way been detrimental to our kids. Two are young adults now, and they are just as close to us as the kids of our friends whose moms never worked growing up. What you will find is that good people who care about their kids end up with close families regardless of either parent’s work status. It’s kind of bizarre to me that there are people who don’t realize this. I feel like they don’t look around and see the people around them. [/quote]
