Family values

By this is impossible - 05/01/2016 00:21 - United States - Norristown

Today, my dad sat me and my sister down and give us a "talk". More like an angry irrational rant. He forbade us from being gay, marrying a Muslim or a black person, demanded kids from both of us, and threatened to disown us if we didn't. Where's my free will? FML

Well, this comment will get the thumbs down for sure, but a father can say that to his children if he wants to can't he? If you are old enough OP, You could move out. You could leave the house, get a job and live on your own.

I think, you're right he can because he is the father of her, but he shouldn't :)

"Their house their rules" has always been a *terrible* justification for defending abusive behavior.

35, If they're not old enough to move out, they're not old enough that they should be worried about getting married or having kids.

Well, legally yes he can. Morally it's reprehensible to dictate your expectations for your daughters sexuality. And using threats against your kids for not reproducing at your command is pretty neanderthal.

Technically, he can, but in my view this already takes away the father role from him. Op, live your life. If people don't act like your family members like this, they're not really family.

Teaching your kids that they'll be disowned if they don't do everything you'd like for them to do is not okay.

so just go out and impregnate a random chick to get him off your back.

1. Being gay is not a choice, you are or you are not and sofar nothing seems to be able to change that. 2. Having kids (if you are yourself not intrested in them) most likly costs way more then the inheritance he threatens to keep from you if you dont get kids. Therefore, also not his choice to make. 3. Falling in love with a muslim or black person.. well if that happens, you prolly wont care what your father thinks. In short, whole lot of bluster for things that are out of his control (and possibly out of yours). There is also the possibility that he will change his mind after a time (like half black grandkids) and if he does not.... well many familys got some racist uncle or something like that. Is what it is and you need to make your life work for you, not for him.

Your father is a terrible parent at best and a terrible person at worst. As long as you and your sister aren't hurting anyone (including yourselves) he should be supportive of your choices and who you are. FYL.

Well this is unexpected. Usually FMLs containg religious and/or racial issues have the comments deactivated. Has FML grown a spine? Back on topic, your dad's a moron.

you should go and have a gay marriage with a black muslim, and obviously you wouldn't have any kids.

Pennsylvania dads. Mine told me I couldn't date any man of color and he'd kick me out if I did. I moved out with my mom as soon as I could (like two years later). Good luck OP and hopefully you can get out of there soon so you don't have to deal with that anymore.

When you turn 18 move out and forget about him. It's your lifestyle not his
