Today, I found out that I was denied for work study eligibility by my college. I went to my financial advisor to ask why. It wasn't my grades or attendance. Apparently my father makes too much money for me to get a job at the school. My dad was fired 3 months ago and has been out of work since. FML

Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML

Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML

Communication breakdown
Today, my dad drove me to work which is an hour away. Twenty minutes into the job, I was told, "Didn't we tell you last week? We let you go." Clearly, no, they didn't. I had to wait one awkward hour, with my colleagues who knew I was fired before I did, for my dad to collect me. FML

I'm sorry OP. If your dad has to make up excuses like that, you probably shouldn't want him there anyway. And think on the bright side.. maybe he got a new job? Just try telling him it's important to you and hopefully he will still go. Best of luck to you trying to convince him! :)

For some people graduations are real emotional. For my mom the end of the school year is. Worst case scenario is "he's just not that into you"

Tell him you can't go to his funeral because you'll be too busy making money he's never had.

if he actually has a new job or is doing something to make money, YDI. if not, FYL. i honestly dont see the big deal about people not being at a graduation. if the tickets to mine werent free id have just told everyone ill take lots of photos and theyll feel like they were there. its just a graduation...

Comon dad has to find work, and that's like a full time job already. Dad has to work to support this complaining kid's ass so he could go to graduation

Wow , what a dad ! >.< Wheree are you graduating from ?
TheLetterZero 7
And by "work", he means the new job he got that you are unaware of. No father would lie like that. That's just silly! YDI for not believing in your father, who believes in you, who believes in the One Piece!

or the father could just be a lazy a**hole? don't you think he would have informed OP of a new job?

Dude, take a joke.

I would... if his jokes were funny... but maybe it's just me and I'm a killjoy.
