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.
