Let's chat a bit gorls 


Some backstory: Ever since I was younger, my dad has always tried to push my life in a certain direction. He's always giving me these little talks like 'I feel like it would be good if you did x' or 'so-so did y and you should look into it too'. I've always went along with it but recently it's getting annoying because I'm older and I'm trying to do what I want in MY life.


So this evening, he walked into my room and suddenly told me that he thinks after I finish with my degree, I should go back to my home country (Nigeria) for a year. Then he starts going on about how it'd be good for me because Barack Obama went back to his home country and now he's president, it would bring me out of my 'shell', don't forget your roots, blah blah blah. Then he starts going on about my life after that, like he legit has MY life all planned out ssssss.


In my mind while he's talking I'm just like:



Anyway, have you guys ever experienced this? I've always had issues standing up to my dad and voicing my opinion on things, but I'm not about to get roped into him living his life out through me

dddd sorry for the blog post but yeah, had to rant a bit

[GRAND]

Do you stay home? They're gonna do that until you're on your own

Pretty much until they don't give you cash. Even then they're going to give you their input because 'they created you'

But your dad sounds like he's trying to live through you or something bvvv

Why can't you do what you want? The Fck is Obama have to do with your life

[GRAND]

In fact tell your dad I said Fck him

My dad used to try to plot my life.....until I stopped taking his cash and did wtf I want

Best decision I ever made

[Almost]

"it'd be good for me because Barack Obama went back to his home country and now he's president"

No not at all. I'm closer to my mother than my father anyway.

[Vonc2002]

Its so fckin weird, he's always going about Obama and Mark Zuckerberg's recent trip to Nigeria. I'm like I don't give a FUCK, damn

He's been telling me to read Obama's books (he owns them all) for ages. I'm like 'Yeah I'll get to them eventually '

[Kurama]

Nah, my mother let me walk my own path once we began to get along. I don't know her helper in creating me lolz.

She does just push for me to be a good person and to achieve SOMETHING.

I understand how that is.

My dad isn't very engulfed in his own culture anymore, but he used to expect me to live the way he did.

Kenya! Vegetarian! College! Money! Wife! Job!



He didn't understand the term 'hypocrite' or something, but I didn't say much when I was younger cause he was paying my rent while I moved away to another city 

But seriously. Do what you want. Because next thing you know you'll be 30 and realize you spent your youth trying to please others. I was fortunate enough to escape my parents GRASP and influence at about 22 but everyone isn't so lucky. For those who have overbearing and heavily involved parents that is.

Do wtf you want. They live their life how they want. You deserve the same.
