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

If they're going to act like that then you don't need them it's your life.

Just take the course... You can never learn to much! ;D wahoo!!! Learning!!!!!!

You shouldnt have to do anything you dont want to do. Its your life. And if want to disown you then their the stupid ones.

do what you want to do! if your parents disown both their kids, they'll notice soon enough how stupid they've been

**** them, do what YOU want to do, not what they want you to do.

Do what you feel is right. My dad wanted me to major in business and did that when I chose physics. It's not a big deal anymore.

that's horrible! why would your parents do that?

I know how you feel. When I decided that I wanted to be a pirate, my parents were pretty pissed so I made them walk the plank. If you're really good at what you want to do then **** your parents and be what you want to be b-a-r-b-I-e

I love how those type of parents think what they're doing is helping their kid, when it's doing the opposite. I honestly want to punch your parents in their faces. It's been said, but do what you want and don't listen to your parents. *Maybe* all their kids abandon them, they'll see how ******* dumb they are, though not likely.

live your life they way you want cuz once they're gone you stuck in a career you feel miserable..
