>Hey Dad, should I rob a Bank?
>No son, you'll go to jail.
>What about cocaine or heroin, should I do cocaine or heroin?
>No son, those are bad for you.
>Hey Mom, should I eat healthy and exercise?
>Of course son, you will live longer and enjoy life more.
>Hey Dad, I want to open my own PC shop where I can build and sell computers. You think this is a good idea?
>Well son, that's your decision, I can't tell you whether you should or not.
>But I respect you and would really like to hear your opinion.
>I'm sorry son, I just don't know. You should do what you enjoy doing.
>Mom, I got a few grand saved up in my bank account for my small business. Do you think I should go through with the loan?
>I don't know son, do what your heart tells you.
But I really want to know if there is a better use for the money, please tell me what you think..
>Well, you know son, business is tough, I'm not sure if your cut out for it. But if this is what you want to do then you should do it.
>Thats literally why I'm asking you. I want to know what you think my chances are.
>Oh son, you should just do what you feel, and not care what I think.

I swear I have the most passive aggressive fucking parents. They always seem to insinuate that I'm going to fail, but they never just come out and say, "No, thats a bad idea," or "Your better off doing this instead."

My whole life, every decision I've ever made, from college, to my career, to my relationships, they have always tried to dodge accountability and avoid taking responsibility, while implying that I'm going to fail no matter what I do.

I really want my parents respect, but they always blow me off like this.

If you have to ask your mom permission to start a business then you're a cuck that's not cut out to start a business.
In their own way they are testing to see if you can do it or not, and the first step towards doing something is assuming responsibility instead of trying to throw it onto your parents. You fucking retard.

I just think of all the heartache and loss and frustration I could have avoided if they had just come out and said it, but they always hide behind this, "Do what you feel, you know whats best for yourself," nonsense.

you clearly should not open a business.

[Anonymous No.11084216]

Never ask people where they’re going to start a new business is it good or bad idea .

The people that love you will tell you things you want to hear, the people who want to see you fail it will tell you things to discourage you. They are both wrong, you won’t know until you actually start making excuses and start whatever you’re thinking of

Stop using your mom as a crutch to not start your business

You are a spineless coward, and *you* are the one who is trying to avoid accountability and responsibility. I also noticed your formatting, so you're basically a reddit tourist who wandered in here from /CC or /esist or whatever cesspool you came from. You need to go back there.

If I have kids, I'm never putting them through this shit. I'm just going to tell them flat out what I think and own up to it as a man and father.

>No son, I don't think you should be a fucking ballerina.
>No daughter, you're a C average student, I don't think you should apply to med school.

At the end of the fucking day I can say I counselled my children and gave them the best advice that I could, instead of hiding behind this, "My children's decisions are not my problem" philosophy that you KNOW ain't true.

See, thats what I mean, you can disagree with your parents and still assume responsibility for your own actions.

Your not going to agree with everything your parents say, but if you respect them then you will want to hear their opinion.

You ask your parents so you have someone to blame if your shit fails. Your parents are just dodging the upcoming "FUCK YOU DAD ITS ALL YOUR FAULT WHY DID YOU TELL ME IT WAS A GOOD IDEA" bullet.

No one will ever be able if your business will work, in fact 90% of all businesses wont make it. You will have to try, fail, start again. Multiple times.

You're really a fucking dumbass.
Your parents are exactly like they should be. Instead of deluding you by telling you lies to makes you feel better they tell you the truth : they don't know about your business except it's going to be tough.
You're still a mommy's boy, so you should wait a good 10 years before trying to start your business.

[Anonymous No.11084325]

Your parents probably honestly have no idea. Have they tried starting a business before? How would they know if you could or not?
No one knows. You will never know by asking. You just need to stop being a pussy and try. You will never have an answer until you succeed or give up.

[Anonymous No.11084326]

Why the fuck should they know anything about what it's like to open and run a business? You're expecting too much from them. Remember that most adults don't actually know shit outside their own field and are just winging life. If you want to know whether opening a PC shop is a good idea, you need to do the research yourself from knowledgeable sources.

Your right gaiz. You're absolutely right. Wanting the advice of people who are older, more experienced and financially stable is dumb. Wanting your parents to respect you is stupid, you should just flounder around in the dark hoping you somehow succeed, after which they are guaranteed to respect you.

You can ask them help on HOW to do it, but in my experience my parents are naysayers. Constantly saying "you can't do this" and "you can't do that" and "you don't have the required skills", but they turn out wrong a lot of times. Sounds like your parents don't want to be negative. Also, how old are you? After a certain age YOU should be able to outshine them by making your own good decisions.

I'll no longer feel obligated to ask them what they think and no longer feel guilty for doing something they tell me not to do.

You're fucking stupid omg.
Your parents are just admitting that they don't know everything, and they can't just pretend they know if a particular thing is good for you or not...
You're just going to be a horrible parent. Your kids will tell you themselves how you destroyed their dreams based on your stupid preconceived ideas about everything.

For them, its win / win. If I succeed they can jump in and claim all the credit, because they 'encouraged' me despite thinking it was a bad idea, if I fail, they can pin the blame on me despite having their misgivings.

If they make a definite statement, you'll do what they insinuate like the npc drone that you are. Then you'll blame them for any failure or take all the credit like most oblivious autists like you usually do. It's the same with giving crypto investment advice - you just don't give any because of the very same reasons.

So you are unsure about your decision and so you ask your parents and they are unsure about it as well. These are decisions you should be making by yourself anyway.
My parents never helped me with anything outside of the basics, yet they loved to criticize and put me down. You have to become confident enough to where you have the mindset that you know you are right. If i make a big choice on something, and someone disses my decision, I'm going to assume that they are just wrong. I'm not going to have second thoughts and become indecisive.

I really hope you are just underage and not just baiting. If you can't get any advice out of your parents, don't forget about google and counsellors.

>stop being sunch an entitled ungrateful little shit, your parents don't have clue about business so asking them is the same aa asking someone on the street, age and them knowing doesn't mean shit, relevant experience does. And they have none. Grow a pair and take control of your own life

For what it's worth i think it's a terrible idea, very likely to fail, not least because of your immature character.

[Anonymous No.11085465]

Son, it's hard to tell you this in person because you are a giant faggot autist that takes everything too literal. I'll break it down on this forum board for you in front of your Internet friends..

You have and will always fail, we don't want you throwing away your monies. Try putting it somewhere better:
Use the money to finally get laid by one of the women men your comic books are full of.
Buy some non velcro shoes after you have learnt to tie shoelaces
Replace the bathroom towels and buy new socks, the current are ruined from you jacking off into them.
Pay off your tendies credit, we both known you have eaten far more than your gbp allow.
Give some to your sister, so she can replace all the underwear you have stolen and defiled.

All pussiefags in this thread.

-Yes, they wont assure you will have sucess because the average business or investment tends to fail, to make money and accumulate wealth is something exceptional and not "average/normal".
Yes, if you avoid drugs you have more chances to have a "longer life", they didnt lie to you, and if you rob a bank YOU WILL go to jail because of fingerprints, facial recognition and yada yada.
The father of mine friend stole a bank 20 years ago and got arrested this year.
