Having a dream job that your parents don’t support is a well-known movie trope. Sadly, the cliché also occurs in real life.
In today’s post from u/aitarealjob on Reddit’s well-known moral judgement forum r/AmITheAsshole, we read about actual parents who are strongly opposed to their daughter’s professional choices. OP works as a nanny for children with special needs, which is undoubtedly a difficult position to fill. She earns a staggering $120,000 a year, gets free housing, and gets a free car. In essence, she earns money and has the majority of her expenditures covered. But ever since she realized she was interested in working with children, her parents have been bugging her about it because they don’t think childcare is a real career.
After eventually tiring of their constant harassment, OP admitted that she earns more than her siblings, a nurse and an accountant. Redditors are mostly on her side, but her siblings are furious with her since she made them seem terrible in front of their parents. For more sibling drama, scroll down to see the sister who turned her brother, his girlfriend, and their unborn child away.

2. OP’s parents were not convinced of her wanting to choose child education in studies as they think it’s not a real career
3. After cutting contact with parents, they approached OP and asked her for her job to which she said she’s a nanny, parents compared her with siblings and criticized for getting a good job
4. OP said that she makes more money than both of the other siblings
5. Parents upon hearing this hung up and the siblings were mad at her
6. Now OP asks if she did a bad thing being an a-hole
7. Clearly not the a-hole, NTA
8. That’s right
9. No profession is worthless, it’s all about your passion and once the earning is decent it becomes more great
10. Nobody has the right to control your choices
11. Sounds about right
12. Do you all agree?
13. Yes
14. This is clearly some toxic shit out here
15. You must not think otherwise
