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.

1. Here’s the story of OP being a nanny and earning a decent income with a free car and house

Font - Font - AITA for telling my parents that I make more than both my siblings when they told me to get a real job I'm a nanny to 2 special needs kids. There's a very high demand for nannies for special needs kids because 3 special needs daycares in my county shut down, so I make approximately $120,000 a year and live in the family's guesthouse rent-free and they bought me a car so I can drive the kids around.

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

Font - Font - My parents have the belief that any job in childcare isn't a real job. They went so far as to call my aunt (she majored in child development) and had her tell me how broke she is when I said I wanted to major in early childhood education, then they told me I could either pick an "acceptable" major or they wouldn't pay for my college.

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

Font - Font - I cut contact with them for a while in college and we recently started talking again. I've been in contact with my siblings, though. My parents recently asked about my job and education and were not happy when I said I'm a nanny and have my masters in special education. They made a comment that I'm working the same job that I've had since I was 15 and how I'll be broke forever then told me to get a real job like my brother (accountant) and sister (nurse).

4. OP dijo que gana más dinero que los otros dos hermanos

Font - Font - Me enojé y les dije a mis padres que gano más que mi hermano y mi hermana y que no tengo que pagar el alquiler, el auto ni la gasolina.

5. Los padres al escuchar esto colgaron y los hermanos se enojaron con ella

Font - Mamífero - Colgaron y recibí un mensaje de texto de mi hermana diciendo que la hice quedar mal ante nuestros padres. Mi hermano dijo que debería haber mantenido la boca cerrada.

9. Ninguna profesión es inútil, todo se trata de tu pasión y una vez que el ingreso es decente, se vuelve aún mejor

Font - Font - dmathvxcvdsgd · Hace 7 horas NTA. Tus padres son parte de por qué ya no estoy en la guardería. Tenía una guardería y siempre había gente que me decía que solo era cuidar niños y hablaba de mis precios. Envejeció rápidamente.

10. Nadie tiene derecho a controlar tus elecciones

Font - Swegh_ · 13 hr. ago Pooperintendant [54] NTA - you're an adult and they're trying to control your choices. You've done well for yourself and they should be proud. But no, they refuse to accept that you're doing what you want to do. You do make more than them and you have a pretty great setup for yourself as well. So you did nothing wrong by telling them the truth.

11. Sounds about right

Font - littlestbookstore · 13 hr. ago S Asshole Enthusiast [8] You are not an AH for defending yourself and your work. Your parents suck for that. You weren't exactly great by bringing your siblings into it, though. It doesn't sound like you had malicious intent, you were just trying to defend yourself when you were being compared to them, but your sister had a point, too. It's your parents who suck for pitting you and your siblings against each other.

12. Do you all agree?

13. Yes

Font - Evil_Mel · 13 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [45] NTA Your parents were being disrespectful & you were trying to assure them that you were not "broke".

14. This is clearly some toxic shit out here

Font - Egoteen · 13 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [7] NTA. Your family sounds toxic, OP, I'm so sorry. You have a wonderful job that meaningful helps people in the world and you made a good living financially. If you enjoy your job, that's all that matters.

15. You must not think otherwise

Font - mandeert · Hace 13 horas Partassipant [1] Absolutamente NTA y no dejes que estas personas te hagan pensar lo contrario. Estás haciendo un trabajo tan importante y sorprendente, y cuando te falten el respeto por ello, puedes decirles lo bien que lo estás haciendo para que se den cuenta de lo poco educados que son.
