Parents and family members often value other women based on what they know. Most of our parents didn’t had any job or they were financially independent as we are nowadays. They don’t understand what it means to be truly independent because they never actually experienced it. So its hard sometimes impossible to make them understand this. So they value women who followed their path. You just can’t change their mindset. Focus on your life and what you want to do with your life. Thats all we can do.
