Sounds reasonable
Today, my mum gave me a two-month ultimatum to get married or risk being disowned. I’m only 24. FML

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Mom knows best
Today, my mom once again told me that I'm too young and immature to get married, and that I don't know what love is. I'm 29, have a successful career, own my own home, and am financially stable. FML
Entitled parents suck.
Overreaching

The matchmaker
Today, my mom has been aggressively trying to get me to marry one of her coworkers, who is around my age. Apparently she loves her like the daughter she always wanted, and since it would be silly to adopt her; she is determined she will be her daughter-in-law instead, whether I like it or not. FML

Chill out, Mom
Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML

Today, my mom is threatening to disinherit me because I won’t have a baby. I have three siblings who between them have seven kids for her to obsess over, yet she calls at least once a week and always tries to convince me to get pregnant. Fuck off mom. FML

Traditions suck
Today, I'm 21 and my parents expect me to get married before moving in with my boyfriend. We want to move overseas for our careers before marrying, but my parents think that “if that’s how things are going to be, then it’s best you break up. You need to uphold to our traditions.” I don't know what to do. FML

Today, I found out that my Mum has spent the money she's been saving for my wedding on moving house. She called saving for a wedding for me a 'pointless cause' as it's probably never going to happen now. I'm only 22. FML

Today, my mother found out that my fiancée broke up with her last boyfriend because she didn't want kids and he did. She's now demanding that I either change her mind, or call things off with her. FML
Old enough
One track mind
Today, my mom won’t let me go to my boyfriend’s apartment. She says it’s because “I know what you guys are gonna do there I’m not stupid.” She threatened to kick me out of the house if I go. I’m 19. FML

I’d take being disowned since you can’t force me to get married

from someone who took the forced marriage at 19: take the disown. put your foot down and set boundaries, and follow through

I hope you have the capability to get a job, find a place to live, and be self-supporting. This is where you need to put your emphasis at this point in your life. You don’t need to be dependent either on your parents or some person willing to say “I do” at a wedding ceremony. If you do this you can live your life your own way and not be someone else’s “property”.

You don't have to live by anyone's life timeline but your own. Tell them they can disown you, but you will do them one better and cut them completely out of your life if that's the kind of "parents" they want to be. If they are that shitty then you probably don't want their shitty stuff anyways. If they really loved you they would want you to be with someone who loves and cares for you, not some random person. This is your life, not 90 day fiancé. Good luck, I hope you find a wonderful significant other, and your parents pull their heads out of their asses, and feet out of their mouths.
