My Parents Judge My Partner’s Career: Here’s How It Affects Us
He judges them back
Look, if you’re going to dole out judgment, you’d better be ready to take it. My mom has never financially provided for herself. She had a rich father, then a rich husband. So, to be clear, her current husband is not my real father, but my stepfather. It’s my real dad who has the money. My stepfather does not work, and they live off of my mother’s alimony from my real dad. My partner isn’t usually judgmental, but it’s hard for him to take career grief from two people who do not even work.
