I think of our conservative-minded daughter, a stay-at-home wife and mom who abandoned an early career to become mommy to their children. Their mutual wish. I genuinely like and respect our son-in-law, a really good husband and father, but he's handsome and well to do - and famous in his family for his selfishness, while she's nearing 40 and he soon won't need a stay-at-home mother for his children. She works a little bit part time in "their" business and keeps her figure toned like a good country club wife should, but I don't think greeting him at the door with a martini and slippers would keep him in the marriage if he ever got tired of it.
