One Reddit user is putting his education first and Reddit can't help but support his decision.
Luckily, he stuck up for himself. “We went back and forth for a while and my mom said I was being selfish and asked me to miss my lab since it was ‘only 6% of my grade,’” he continued, and my jaw is on the floor. How is a weekend trip more important than your son’s education? He seems way more responsible than his frustrating, self-absorbed parents do.
“I told her that I didn’t have 8 kids and they’re not my responsibility,” he added, and bam! What a fantastic response because it’s so true. He’s setting boundaries and sticking to them, and it’s great!“She started crying and my dad berated me for making her cry and asked me to leave,” he wrote. Ugh! Why are these parents so toxic?
“Neither of them will answer my texts or calls despite me apologizing and I feel bad but I just don’t feel like they’re seeing my side of things,” he continued. “I’ve attempted to tell them but they won’t even talk to me and neither will my youngest siblings and it’s really making me sad.”“Wow, that is some big emotional blackmail. Stand your ground!” one person wrote. “They are trying to make you feel guilty so you’ll budge. Don’t call them, don’t apologize. Go dark on the contact.
“Since they both have good jobs and enough money to travel, they can pay a sitter the money they usually pay OP ,” another commented. “Them booking a nonrefundable trip without confirming OP’s availability already shows they don’t respect him or his contributions to their household.” Others offered advice on what to do next. One person suggested making himself “scarce” over the weekend. “Stay at a friend’s. Study at the library. Do not go home,” they wrote. “Get one more text out NOW. ‘I get you are upset that I am not able to watch your kids this weekend, but I cannot miss these labs and will not be around to watch them.’ After that, turn your phone off or on DND. Your parent be dropping them off and running.
