>parents moved away from here up north to the south last year
>they live in a really economically prosperous area and they're used to seeing happy people being successful now
>then there's me
>constantly freezing, depressed from grad school, underwhelmed by part time job, no money, and (according to them) I have a bf who doesn't make enough and therefore isn't good enough
>can barely afford the hobbies that make me happy like lolita
>admittedly, these are problems but problems that should slowly diminish after school

>me and bf visit parents over spring break
>it's technically our vacation so we splurge on things with some money we saved
>feels like my parents are poking at my financial status the entire time
>"Oh you ordered that anon? How expensive. You have refined tastes, you better hope you and your bf get a good job or else how do you expect to be able to support your habits?"
>"We're just on vacation....usually we shop at Aldi and never eat out."
>the annoyance is clear in my voice
>"No excuses anon, stop being so sensitive. You're just guilty. Btw wanna hear about your cousin? He's doing really well. Y'know, the DERMATOLOGIST?"

>parents are currently renting a house since they're looking for one to buy
>we go house hunting through a neighborhood
>"Oh look at all these beautiful mansions. Surely these are LAWYER and DOCTOR houses."
>they're aiming this at me, they're actually being really aggressive about it
>I get mad and point out neither of them are in those professions so I guess they'll have to settle for some shitty shack
>"Anon stop being hostile."

>tfw it really hurts to have parents who so backhandedly disapprove everything about you but pretend that it isn't the case
>tfw it's only because of money, not about my actual happiness or unhappiness
