I have no respect for my father at this moment. It baffles me how he feels he can tell me what I will regret in life. Does he not realize that we are two separate individuals with two very interests as well as goals in life? It’s a beautiful thing when a parent, or any loved one for that matter, tries to add terms and conditions to their support of you.
What my father needs to realize is that he can not control any situation involving me. He then needs to realize that what he can control is his reaction to said situation. He must then take full responsibility for how he reacts to it.
I know that I will not regret my decision to have tattoos or gauged ears. I know that these things will not prevent me from doing great things in this life time. Why does he feel the need to continue arguing with me how I am going to regret these decisions? NEWS FLASH, I am not going to be a suit and tie businessman. I certainly am NOT going to be an insurance salesman like him or my grandfather.
People need to accept more responsibility for their own lives and stop trying to interfere so much in other people’s lives. Accept that as truth!
