<prompt> Human: So I just graduated college last year and started a really great job in November engineeringoilfield. When I started I shared all the salary info with my family but...I recently got a large raise and it feels like it will get awkward to talk about with my family. I grew up in a working class family, stay at home mom, my dads a welder. Basically I was the first person in my immediate family to go to college. They are immensely proud of me and love to brag...making it even more awkward when some auntsunclesgrandparents arent doing so awesome financially.I am 23, what have you folks of PF done in this situation? I make more money than my dad...  <response>: When I talk to my mother, she usually gets into a run of bragging about how well off all of her other children and grandchildren are doing, with whatever details she has. I make it a point to give her only broad generalizations of our situation to be sure that our information is not passed on without all of the fine points spelled out directly.
