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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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
Today, I proposed to the girl I have known for a while, since our Dads have worked together for 40 years. After I rang my Dad to tell him the good news, he told me that there was a position open at work, which had belonged to her Dad. My Dad had to fire him. FML
Today, my sister got fired and I got promoted to her job, got a nice payrise for it. My relationship with my sister will never be the same again. FML
Today, my job interview got canceled. I later found out it's because my sister got the brilliant idea to go talk to the manager to "advocate" for me, and they thought I put her up to it. FML
Today, my little sister, who's still in high school, proved beyond a doubt she's better at my computer repair job than I am. She proved it in front of my customers and my manager, who brushed me aside and offered her a job as soon as she graduates. FML
Today, I got a notice in the mail saying I had been fired from my job. My dad's the boss, who I happen to live with. FML
Today, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML
Today, I thought my dad was finally showing interest in the business I started last year when he asked about my next event. Nope, he just wanted to know if I would hire his step-granddaughter. Her first question? "So, I won't have to do any like, real work right?" Gee, thanks Dad. FML
Today, I was telling one of my patients I was upset because my sister wants to go to beauty school, and that I don't want her getting a worthless qualification and to aim higher. My patient replied by saying she's a hair dresser. FML
Today, I was let go from my stepmom's family business because she and my dad are getting a divorce, and she says it's too painful and awkward to have me still hired on. I can't afford a wrongful termination suit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's not up to you or your father to supply your sister with a job. Especially if she's under qualified. FYL

Let him "disown" you. No matter what he'll always be your father but you can't always have a great job like that.

I don't see the point of "he'll always be your father." My father never legally disowned my sibling and I, but it was pretty much inferred. He has little to no say in our lives, and I actually don't even view him as my "father". My awesome step-dad EARNED the right to be called Dad.

Good for you. What I'm saying is wether OP dad deserves to be called "dad" or "douchbag" he's always going to be OP biological father wether either of them like it or not.

I fail to see what that means. If you don't view someone as a father figure, don't interact with them more than you would a distant acquaintance (if at all), and they have no legal privileges or obligations related to you... what do they matter? Being biologically related to you means nothing, really - the only part that matters is the legal and social connections that usually come with that.

We all have our views and opinions on things. To each their own.

My point exactly....still by law the father no matter if u view them as one or not. We all have our own views and options on things. To each their own.

Yeah, if you are disowned then by law they are not your family...

I wouldn't risk losing your law firm over your fathers petty crap. stand ground and tell them both to grow up.

If you want your company to thrive, don't let her in! Your company, your choice.

Sometimes you just have to cut people out of your life and not offer them extensions.

She can be the barista.

Maybe he's trying to give you a hint, either your law firm sucks or you have a terrible haircut

People tend to believe people that are more attractive. With your new haircuts you'll be running a legal dream team . Probably not. But you'll look sexy as hell.
