Last weekend my parents forced me to go over to my aunts house since we haven’t seen her and her family in four years.
That was the day I learned why.
Aunt: Oh so what do you want to be when you’re older?
Me: interior design maybe.
Uncle: That’s a rubbish degree. My friends daughter did that and she hasn’t gotten a job despite moving to Spain and other places in Europe.
At this point I seriously felt like ripping off their heads..
Uncle: You should become a pharmacist because you’re a girl.
Aunt: Yeah or a nurse. Very nice career for a woman.
Me: I don’t like medical stuff.
Aunt: *gasps* Kids these days are so disrespectful and they only stick with what they want.
My mum then looks at me in sympathy and stands up.
My mum: My daughter can be whoever she wants and if you can’t accept that you truly aren’t good people.
My dad: See this is the reason why we don’t come here. All we hear is gossip about people who you’re friendly with and really you two are just as much as a mess as everyone else. We shall be leaving now.
So we went home. It took us one hour to get there. Let’s just say we aren’t going there ever again.
