Curb your expectations

By Academia - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United Kingdom

Today, I got accepted into University, onto a course I don't want to do, but my parents said they would disown me if I didn't go. I believe them, since they haven't spoken to my shop assistant sister in about three years now. FML

Don't listen to your parents. Just do what you want in life. It's your life, not theirs.

Let them be stupid. They'll regret it when they don't have any kids who come to see them or talk to them. They'll just come crawling back one day, and u can tell them they did it to themselves

You need to do what you want to do whether your parents like it or not. You life is not up to them, it's up to you. They will regret it.

Never Question the worth of having parents in the first place no matter what their actions may be at least they did not leave her on her own

It's your life, do what you want. I don't get those parents who seem to have kids just to put their dreams on them. That's their fault if they didn't do what they didn't want to do.

be selfish. do what you want. parents should be supportive in (almost) whatever you do!

Eventually they'll run out of kids, do what you want to do. They'll realize their mistake someday. If not, oh well.
