re: #193 Backwoods_Sleuth

and I’m betting your dad never whined about your mom having a degree while he didn’t have one.

Precisely. And the thing is, he’s always told my brothers he regretted not getting one. My closest brother in age and I each have one and are doing post graduate work and our kid brother recently started college. I think he sees that my mom and her brother were among the first in their families to get degrees and he sees how hard she’s worked. It doesn’t threaten him.
