Rant #32203

In the economy we live in now, there’s the constant push from my father in “getting ready for the real world,” when genuinely, how are we and anyone else really gonna actively support ourselves here. And yes, learning basic things is useful, but how he sees where “I should be going” that feels impossible. Affording a house? Getting a car? It’s absurd of him to think so. I’ve tried to explain it to him, several times, but every single time I am simply judged or dismissed.
