29-year-old daughter refuses parents' demand to move in with her after dad loses his job, payback for years of them telling her she'd ‘never make it on her own’

Every child wants their parents to be proud of them, and every parent wants their children to make them proud. It is a natural course of life within a family. Parents want to see their children standing on their own two feet, making accomplishments, and becoming independent adults.

Some parents, however, have higher expectations, sometimes to an extent that feels impossible to reach. Being a child to a parent of that sort is no picnic, and the 29-year-old woman in the story below is the perfect explanation why. Since she was a child, her parents have been making it clear that "making the proud" is an impossible task. They spent years telling her she was too lazy, not smart enough, and incapable of making it on her own.

Oh, how she proved them wrong.

Now, she is a successful homeowner, and her parents are jobless and without a place to stay. They turned to her, expecting her to welcome them into their home. Yet she doesn't feel like she owes them anything, especially not an invitation to the house they never believed she would be able to own.
