Just complaining, but I went to a top ten law school, clerked for a federal judge, and am now a senior associate in biglaw. Meanwhile, my sibling spent 4 years trying to get into med school, finally got into a non MD no name one in the middle of nowhere, works as a basic hospitalist, is loaded with insane debt, yet my parents can't stop talking about how they can't wait for my kids to become doctors. Any other lawyers within doctor siblings facing this type of treatment gap???

Granted I don’t know your family’s dynamic, but from what you’re describing, I’m willing to bet that YOU are the one your parents never had to worry about. It sounds like they’re trying to make your sibling feel good his/herself. Take it as a compliment. (I come from a similar dynamic)

Definitely. I’m more accomplished than my siblings, but never get any type of validation or anything. Not that I need it, but it would be nice every now and then.
Either way, you’re both very successful, especially you being in BigLaw! I would kill for my husband to work in BigLaw. To me, a BigLaw Partner is much more impressive than most Doctors, except maybe a specialized Surgeon.

Did they explain why they wanted your kids to become doctors specifically ? Do you have a lot of doctors in your family beside your sibling ?

OP- I’m proud of you ☺️

Ha! Actually my best friend started her own firm. Her sister is a doctor, her parents actually said her firm is only worth as much as the furniture in it. They hire a different attorney to deal with their current legal issues with the IRS instead of her because they have “long history with them”. Trash!

100%! This is literally my entire life. My brother walks on effing water with my parents. With me they’re like “oh she’s a lawyer.” Like COME ON. My father was seriously injured in an accident and I helped them get a 6 figure settlement. I found and engaged counsel, walked him through the whole process, flew home several times to help with things like discovery responses and his deposition… Instead, my mom talks about the time my brother correctly diagnosed my dad with diverticulitis over the phone. I will never live up. Thankfully my brother’s cool as hell. If I had to be second place to anyone, I’d rather it be him.

You sound cool as hell too A2 🥂
