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

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

No one else heard this morning's NPR story about the man who graduated from law school, opened a barber shop, and gives legal advice in the back?? Sounds like the perfect solution here!

is she really good at what she does? you could probably improve your win % at trial by making sure your attorneys and clients are meticulously groomed before court. humans are incredibly shallow and that includes judges and juries

Does she even want to work for you? Fhl as well if she is happy with her profession and you dad is trying to force her to change.

Tell him you will hire her as soon as she passes The Bar.

Hmm, having a totally unqualified person with potential to undo the success that you have studied years to accomplish, or having your dad disown you as his daughter... Decisions, decisions... (Besides, if your dad is foolish enough to threaten that kind of petty bullshit, he's not a real "father" to begin with.)

I'm sure you can give her and assistant job or secretary. She is your family and you should care she needs employment
