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 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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

she chose to be a hairdresser. you chose to be a lawyer. not your fault she didn't want to study law. I say call the bluff. He prob won't disown you. just get mad for a while. It's YOUR business, not his. if you do decide to let her have a job, let her be a secretary or something, I guess ..

Get her a job as a janitor

If you feel you must, offer something she would not want, shutting everyone up. He didn't insist that you offer her a job as a partner in the firm... or did he?

lol she could be a secretary??

Contrary to popular belief, secretary positions in law firms and many offices actually require more schooling and experience. You can't really just walk into a firm and say I want to apply as a secretary with no background knowledge. If she needs a job that bad she can go about it like everyone else and apply places.

She's good at sweeping up, interacting with customers and doing hair. If she's trained in nails and makeup she'd make a great personal assistant. Perhaps for one of your law partners?

Your dad sounds partially crazy. Nothing to be alarmed about OP... Anyways just talk to your sister and make her convince your dad that hairdressers don't belong at a law firm. Unless she's on your dad's side, that is...

If your dad is that retarded I'd say let him 'disown' you. Sooner or later he'll come to his senses, hopefully. If that's not an option, put her as a low paid secretary. She can get your coffee n after a while she might wanna quit by herself.

Good for you OP for having your own law firm! Don't listen to your dad at all, your sister is probably old enough to take care of herself and if your dad is really going to use petty threats against you then maybe he doesn't have your best interests in mind.

then you should be making plenty of money, so would you need your dad's money?

The FML did not say anything about his fathers money.

The only practical upshot of being disowned is being cut out of the will. Of course, a will can be contested fairly easily when it comes to that.
