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're better off without them. Do what you love. It's YOUR life.

Do what you want with your life, they can't control your whole life. They'll start talking to both of you after a while, I mean ignoring both of your children after a while is probably painful. FYL.

It's our life and their loss if they don't talk to you for choosing to live it the way you want

Screw them! Do what makes you happy. Trust me they'll regret it when they're older and they have no one to take care of them.

Graduate, then do what you want in life and never talk to them again.

he will graduate with a load of debt tho, do you know how high fees are in the UK now? A bloody lot, so much in fact that it is almost not worth at all. We are talking about £9000 a year and thats before living expenses and all the other costs of uni.
