Your parents don’t love you

Or they love you too much

This comes up topically for me because I just started school, I hate school, now the nice things about my parents is they can't really force me to do anything, that doesn't mean if I put my foot down and decided not to go it would be a pleasant experience.

I had three choices, go to Legon University and do distance learning IT, do computer science at Accra Technical University or stay at home and work on my skills and projects. So this is basically two choices, go to school full time or stay at home and deal with the talking.

I’m sure most of you know what I mean by "the talking". I don’t like the talking, I don’t want to hear the talking, I’m not making enough money to get away from the talking if it starts.

For those who aren’t familiar, imagine 3 months after deciding to stay at home your parents are reminding you of how they really wished you went to school or went to school full time.

This is because, apparently, they love you. You can tell I don't really believe that, if I were to guess there's two possibilities, there may be more but off the top of my head this is what I got.

  • Your family loves you too much so they want you to succeed so much so they want you to take the safe route.
  • They love you, sure but they also want to have that good feeling when they say "My son is studying computer science at [insert school]" as opposed to "Oh he’s at home".

Another reason I'm going is for my parents, if that's what they want I can do it, it's not an issue, it's just a few years, I'll do my best.

My projects and other stuff will probably move slower but they will move.
