If you are over 18, you don`t need to listen to your parents.
If my parents did that, i would just have told them " you are both dead to me" and i would never speak to them again.

Parental blackmail seldom works out well for any of the parties involved. However, as with most parents, yours likely won't find this out until it's a bit too late.

Is your mother a dragon lady? If yes then you have no choice or else get the stink eye and repeatedly hit with her slippahs!

My friend's parents did this to her too Bon They made her go into a field that analyzes medical tests. She hated it. But the parents were supportive in general. She just was too quiet to tell them. |

yet wouldn't pay unless I studied shit I was terrible at. I know some of you are on my parents' side. I'm not on your parents' side. Not at all. They sound like they think they own you and are control freaks. Will they listen to what you have to say? I thought you already had a boyfriend? But I feel bad for you. You are in a spot. Maybe you can get some financial assistance, get a part time job and go to school part time only. I know plenty of kids who did college this way. It will take longer, yes, but not that much longer and it will have been worth it. You would not be as reliant on your parents and you could pretty much be your person. Plus, with a less than full time load, you would probably have enough time to study and make decent grades. To hell with parents who don't want their children to grow up. They may love you very much in their own way, but ultimately, it's very selfish of them. Especially at this point in your life. Another thing to consider is why ever elect to study a subject that you have no interest in and are no good at? I mean, who would benefit from that? Your parents' egos? Blecchhh. I don't know how your parents could rationalize this one. Also, if you continue to do your parents' bidding, it could cause a lot of resentment down the road. And that is pure lose-lose. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors! |

So pay it yourself.
Not to be unsympathetic but, the whole idea of my parents paying for higher education was never in the cards for me. My mom was paycheck to paycheck so I had to pay the loans myself for schooling. They were fairly accommodating 18 years ago so I can only assume there’s a plan available for people who need to pay their own way thru school.
Or...join the workforce and save up yourself until you can afford to go.
What I wouldn’t do tho is waste time on a career you don’t want.

Do you live with your parents, under their roof, where they pay your bills?
Are they paying for your education? If you want/expect them to pay for your education, you're in a pickle.
If you live on your own, and are over the age of 18, your options are still the same: If you want them to pay for your education, you'll have to enter the field they want, then you can always change majors later on. Or just pay for your own education, get loans and grants, work part time, go to school part time, and while it'll take a little longer, you'll have a great sense of price and achievement in providing for yourself.
But it seems you're an adult, so I'm not sure why you'd be taking dating advice from your parents?

What's ironic is that now my mother DOES NOT WANT ME TO GET A DEGREE and is telling me to get married to someone of her choosing. I'm 27, by the way.

You could have said what a woman I used to know once said.
“He’s not my boyfriend, he’s my lover”
