Today, my parents want me to become a lawyer, all because our family members keep getting into feuds and court cases. I'm a successful developer, and run my own company. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad, under threats of disowning me, insisted that I offer my sister a job in my company. I run my own law firm, she is a hairdresser. FML
Today, my dad spent 30 minutes incorrectly correcting me about our legal system. He thinks he knows more than me because he's been divorced twice. I'm a lawyer. FML
Today, despite having the same parents, I'm a lawyer and my brother is a redneck. He called wanting my advice, because he tried to book a prostitute online but when she turned up, she was a Latvian mail-order bride, and he wants me to fix it with my "big city law degree." FML
Today, my family somehow discovered how much money I make. They didn’t ask for money, or try to be my friend, or try to manipulate me, they just jumped straight to demanding ludicrous amounts of cash for fabricated and imaginary reasons, and already have their own lawyer. FML
Today, I found out both my parents are career criminals. My dad expects me to join the "family business" and my mom has decided that they'll "never get her alive." FML
Today, my lawyer threatened to sue me because I can't afford his bill, which he sent to me after getting me out of a lawsuit. FML
Today, my parents told me that they're suing my best friend's parents because I broke my leg at their house. I've been begging and pleading and fighting with them not to but they won't listen. They keep saying that it's not personal and it's just a legal thing. Happens all the time. FML
Today, I told my family that I'm on probation at work. I help my family out financially, working in a field that they pressured me to pursue. Because they are aggressive, they asked if it was because I fought with someone at work. I told them it was because my boss says I'm too soft. Their response? "He's right." FML
Today, after getting into an argument with my dad, he told me that I would make a great ex wife one day. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So develop a backbone and tell your parents to mind their own ******* business. Are you the Hatfields or the McCoys?

Who doesn't need a good lawyer on the family right? Charge double and tell them it's the special family price

It's your life, do the things you want to do, not what your parents tell you to do.

Aren't they a little late to force you into being a lawyer? If you're already this successful, I doubt that you'd want to waste the time or money to get into law school and attend classes at this point. Unless you want to on your own volition, then that's different :)

You're obviously not making enough money, and need to take a sidejob ruining lives and lying to the courthouses to make ends meet. Selfish.

Ouch, sarcasm guys.

Give it up, no one cares about your silly, little iPhone apps. Personal injury lawsuits will make your family prosperous for generations!

Who said they were iPhone apps?
perdix 31
Who said they weren't? Huh, see what I'm talking about? If they don't tell you something, feel free to make something up.
Mforce 8
Who said so? Huh, see what I mean? If they don't tell you, act like an asshole. Makes perfect sense.
