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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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

Sure, offer her a job. On the condition she goes back to school.

I really hope there's a follow-up to this one...

I'm sure there's some room in the basement of the building for her to do something time consuming...

In my opinion, it would be very childish of OPs dad to disown him for something like that. His sister is in a completely different field of work than he is.

She could be a secretary or like an office assistant. Personally I think it'd be a lot of fun!! (:

If she is a cosmetologist, she can also be a body waxer, makeup artist (work at a department store like sephora or macys), a rep for a beauty brand or nail technician/manicurist. There are many options for her license, she should check out Craigslist, there are decent jobs on there. Suggest she do that to your dad. Hiring an unqualified person is a bad idea!

Does Denmark have a Craigslist?

You could make her the secretary

Curious. If dad has so much money that you're concerned about being disowned, I wonder why dad doesn't just toss a pile of money at the daughter.

I don't think OP is so much 'concerned' about being disowned so much as offended that the threat is being waved around for such a ridiculous reason.
