So my parents really believe your worth is in your education. They deny that is how they feel but it is a complete lie and evident in their actions. My mom is very bragadocious about two things: money and education. I absolutely hate it. Neither me nor my husband graduated college. We dropped out to get married (we both had straight A's) because he wanted to enlist in the Air Force and I wanted to have kids and not kids and a career (even though I applaude those brave women who do have a career and kids, they're amazing!) well both my two older sisters are in med school and my younger sister is headed there. They've all worked in huge labs like UC Davis lab in San Francisco. My sisters totally look down on me and my husband. This weekend I threw a huge bridal shower for my sister with no help of course (my two younger sisters are extremely lazy which is bizarre considering they do well in school). Directly after the shower my mom posts on Facebook how she is so proud of my sisters and younger brother for their accomplishments in school (my brother is onky 12 he literally has no choice but to be in school and he doesn't try hard lol he's a silly kid). Anyways, my mom tags me so I will see the post but the last line of the post is, "I'm so proud to be your mom..." and then she lists all my siblings EXCEPT me. She doesn't say a darn thing about my AMAZING job at a legislative strategy firm, the bridal shower I just threw, the fact that I'm only 21, debt free and own my own house with my husband, nothing. When my MIL came to my defense, she JOKINGLY said "oh I guess Bets is disowned now? Lol 😝" and my mom attacked her and then deleted her fb in a fit of rage as she played the victim card. Am I right to feel hurt by this? I'm proud of my siblings too but I have always felt my parents favored my other siblings over me and now I feel that is confirmed. 😩 so done with all of their condescending remarks towards me and DH. We work so hard but because we don't do things how my parents think we should, we are stupid and not as good as them and they look down on us. Well, enjoy never seeing your grandchildren. I won't have them thinking their worth lies in the amount of money they pay an institution.
