As I mentioned previously, this type of parental discouragement is clearly from a place of envy, insecurity, or worry. Either the parent in question never received the opportunity to make something for themselves, they are insecure about their own lives, or they're worried their child will forget about them between the hustle and bustle of life. Those three possible reasons, however, hold little weight in justifying this entitled parenting. The daughter clearly has the ability to make a name for herself in her career and is being stunted not only by her mother but by her grandmother as well.

‘She was not happy’: 21-year-old daughter refuses to inform controlling mother of an internship she landed abroad due to her mother's reaction to her last opportunity
Some parents make a point to create an environment that brings their children down instead of one that raises them up. Usually, these kinds of parents don't want to admit their child is capable, possibly out of fear or out of envy… Either way, it's an unfortunate situation and definitely not the kind of example you want to set for them. If children are constantly discouraged by their parents, they'll either never take the risk in their personal lives or careers, or they will stop staying in contact with you. Maybe even both.
The 21-year-old daughter who posted this next story explains that her mother constantly belittles her achievements and discourages her from making strides in her academic career. The daughter landed a fellowship and her mother went berserk, going so far as to listen in on her online interview. Now, the daughter landed another internship abroad, but she plans on keeping her mother in the dark about it. Why should she tell her mom, anyway? Her mother never gave her a nurturing environment to feel safe in. Scroll to read about how she has been giving her mother almost $12,000 over the span of two and a half years.
