Parents Called My Startup "A Waste" For 8 Years -Mom Dropped Her Tray When She Saw Who Won The Award

Parents Called My Startup "A Waste" For 8 Years - Mom Dropped Her Tray When She Saw Who Won The Award The email from my mother arrived on a Wednesday morning at 6:47 AM. Subject: Reality Check "Marcus, your father and I have been patient for eight years. EIGHT YEARS of watching you waste your Stanford education on this 'startup' fantasy. Your sister Amanda has a real job. Benefits. Stability. A 401K. She just bought a house. What do you have? An apartment you share with two roommates and a business that hasn't made a profit. It's time to grow up. Dad knows someone at Cisco. They're hiring. $140K starting. Please, for once in your life, make a smart decision. - Mom" I read it twice. Deleted it. Went back to work. I'd stopped defending myself three years ago. Stopped trying to explain what DataStream AI was building. Stopped attending family dinners where every conversation ended with concerned looks and "helpful" suggestions about real careers. My phone buzzed. Amanda. My older sister. "Did you see Mom's email?" "Yeah," I said. "She means well, Marcus. She's just worried." "I know." "Are you doing okay? Financially?" #aita #reddit #redditstories #redditstory #revengestory #revenge
