My DSIL (my DH's lovely brother's wife) is expressing irk at the difference in incomes of my DS (20) and her DS (23)
My DS though relatively smart didn't engage with education and didn't want to try for University like his siblings.
Her DS is very bright hard working and a lovely lad is currently in last year of University (has 2 gap years).
Since a levels my son has started working in construction and really applied himself, gained some qualifications to work in site management and is earning nicely and is very happy in his role.
DN has just secured a grad role in an excellent company which will support him through to Chartered and beyond.
Now the crux of the matter is DS current pay works out at about £20k pa more than this grad role and she's mighty pissed off.
She's been muttering about the student debt to be repaid and the fact that my DS just has a handful of average A levels and that it's unfair. Said with a pout 😲
We had supper together on Saturday and she just couldn't let it go, despite us all (the 3 other adult) muttering about experiences, catch up over the years, career trajectory lack of security and continuous employment (for my DS) etc.
Luckily we had the Six Nations to distract a bit.
AIBU to think she needs to just accept that people have different circumstances and there's no benefits at all to comparison?
