My XW programmed meteorological models in Fortran on a Unix system while working on her masters. Five years later I was rolling my eyes because she didn't know how to copy and paste from one document to another. Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X...none of it meant anything to her.
What brought about this change? this loss of knowledge?
You guys both seem to be taking things personally.
Speaking for myself, yes I do take things personally. I'm working on that. I often feel quite inferior to H intellectually, inferior to his immediate family, actually. I've mentioned this to my ILs (we have a really good R) and they think I'm selling myself way short, as does H, but I don't know how to stop it. I did better when I WOH, but being pg and SAHM seems to have turned my brain to mush. Whatever confidence I had in my intellectual abilities is greatly diminished by my present occupation.
No, I don't wish to go back to work right now. I don't think that would help; it would just add to my plate. But I do need to work on feeling better about my intellectual abilities. Just not sure how.
