r/Entitledparents 'My Son Failed College, So You Should Too!'

r/Entitledparents In today's episode, OP has a roommate who is really struggling in college. The guy kind of cut loose and spent all of his partying and drinking instead of studying. The inevitable happens, and the roommate fails out of school. When the roommate's parents show up, the father becomes enraged at OP because OP was a "bad influence" on his son, and demands that OP also drop out of school to be fair. OP refuses, because that's absolutely insane!

I respect John. He didn’t try to push his mistakes onto OP. He owned his mess up and tried to protect OP even when things got heated. He’s not a good student, but he is a good man.

Man I feel bad for Jon in the first story. He maybe wasn't the best student, but he was certainly a good friend. He didn't put any blame on OP. His parents were just awful.

[CooperGal]

I think that John was being pushed too hard by his parents on the acting and voice acting, and never got to have fun once.
That’s understandable on John’s part. His parents were expecting WAY too much out of him, making them sound like a couple of Tiger Parents, even going as far as to force their own son to leave the university, but ALSO tried to force OP to leave the university as well, because he was a “bad influence” on John.
I hope John not only moved away from these controlling entitled parents, but ALSO cut all contact and block them both!
Because entitled parents like John’s parents are the reason why half of their kids are rebelling against them.
“We were ONLY forcing our adult child to work harder because we expect the BEST from them, NOTHING ELSE! We just don’t understand WHY they’re not doing what we demand from them!”
Because they’re not your damn flying monkeys to boss around and perform for you, they’re your KIDS, AND THEY’RE HUMANS. Unlike you so called “parents”!
Get over yourselves and grow a heart!

Parents who manipulate their children because "We raised you so you owe us, " are the worst.

[ZachareSylvestre]

Last story: If the mom ends up getting the scholarship, OP should report the mother to the scholarship and let them know of the fraud. I'm sure they'd love to know.

[RainbowdashLT]

John really needed to shout back at the parents and say as is, that it's the parents fault for pushing him so hard that he fell back once he had some freedom

[Kelaiah]

Good news about the final story with the mom who tried to steal her own child's scholarship money: the scholarship didn't go through, and OP went no-contact 100% (even telling their mother to F off, which the mother deserved).

[ladyofrillwater]

You know what. Good on Jon for standing up to his parents as much as he did for OP. Sure, he wasn't built for university as is, but despite the fact that his parents is are awful, he seems like a good guy.

The sister purposely told her kids that OP was going to Disney to try and manipulate him into taking them along. (On a trip to propose to his girlfriend!) “They’re so upset!!!’ Yeah, because of you.

[silverflight]

Story 2: He has nowhere to go!"
Well, he can just live with the person he cheated with (as RSlash said), and if he can't, he should have thought about that before he *cheated on OP!*

[dracko]

EM: "I paid for your college!!"
OP: *"You're not a clown, you're an entire circus!"*

[maieen]

*OP’s mom, to OP:* “YOU S.O.B.!”
*rSlash:* “Congratulations; you played yourself!”
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating! If you’re not celebrating, happy Saturday!

You know, I am not surprised by what Jon did, this is the problem with strict parents. Jon had little to no freedom so I can understand fully why he did what he did. but the parents tho, like they are on next level crazy. I have heard of parents like these before but never have i heard of an actual story of parents acting like this. If they weren't happy with Jon's behavior then I blame the parents, at some point they should have realised that their parenting was going to have to lasting effects, unless they are so thick that they think their kid will love them unconditionally. this isn't love, its toxic behavior. I don't blame one bit on Jon for what he did, he needed the freedom. but for the parents to still ask OP to drop out, i mean come on, how did they expect for it actually work out in their favor. Idiots.

[silverflight]

Story 4: That was one of the most pathetic attempts at manipulation ever. Not only did EM claim to do things thAt she actually didn’t do, but she literally became a spoiled teenager just because OP decided to do something nice.

[suitov]

The only people worried about looking childish are childish people! Disney OP should tell the kids "your mom is teasing you. She's going to take you herself." Redirect those weapons right back at the source.

I hope the gf has a great time and is cool with the proposal.

As someone who was an Avid Disneyland Passholder for almost 10 years before the pandemic (and before the recent lawsuit), it's ironic that the Entitled Sister says that "Disneyland is for kids". Walt created Disneyland because back then a lot of amusement parks were kid-orientated, meaning that only kids could ride the rides and the adults just kinda sat on the sidelines. He got bored and thought there should be a place where both the kids AND adults could have fun together. If anything, I've been seeing a lot more adults going to Disneyland in recent years thanks to collectible events and unofficial holidays at the park. Disneyland itself has become much more family and adult orientated, like Disney himself wanted.

Quick aside about that last story. Depending on where OP lives what the college did is super illegal and they might have grounds for a lawsuit.

I used to be an RA in college and one thing my university stressed to us was we were not allowed to give almost any info anyone but the student as they are adults. Different countries and states have different rules. I'm not a lawyer.

That's also not even mention the potential fraud that is about to happen with the mother pocketing the scholarship money.

Merry Christmas everyone!
First story: I kinda feel bad for the son, but he partied a lot. If John is in a lot of voice acting shows, then he should be fine

[jeffr]

Johns parents had invested so much of their time and effort into controlling him like a robot his whole life that when he was finally given personal responsibility and failed due to lack of naturally acquired maturity, they couldn't accept that it wasn't their own failure as parents and had to find a scapegoat. He was also probably burned out so college was more or less a way to let loose finally.

[Nerobyrne]

I love how that one guy's dad was emotionally hurt after being reminded that he wasn't paying for his son's college.

What a complete tool.
