Nothing? so them feeding him, clothing him, guiding him until college didn't mean anything? wow women really neglect all the past efforts and only focus on the "What have you done for me lately" ideology. What's wrong with wanting him work at the family business? most children want to be part of the family business. PS. College is a scam, a lot of college graduate don't have a job and have a lot of debts.
it is actually a very clear cut situation. your parents wanted you to drop out of high school, not get a college education. .. your uncle was simply supporting you and your dreams .. honoring your uncle by inviting him to your graduation was only just
@@robertnoble6661oh please they could have at least supported him by motivating but no they wanted him to leave his college and then were ungrateful to the person who helped their son spreading rumors forcing their own child to work for them it's ridiculous there are scholarship exam student loan many things but no they were self centered
Serves them right, don't take credit for putting your own son to school when his own uncle did, the OP's parents should be ashamed of themselves for such ignorance and got called out for their lies, good to go for the OP's uncle stepping up to help him and never look back.
Story 1: “They said I’m choosing my uncle over my own family”. Firstly, that’s damn right because OP’s uncle IS family. And secondly, he’s a far better parent than his egg and sperm donor so has every right to attend.
NTA!!! Your uncle soley helped you, your parents didn't do anything to help or anything. Invite your uncle. They are your true supporters. Your family is just holding back your true potential.
I was a coward. I folded in that very same situation. I beg, borrowed and stole to get tickets for family that meant nothing to me. I just wanted non-confrontations at my graduation.
@icedragonland8471 I thought that the narrator messed up.🤦🏼♀️ 🤷🏼♀️ I was thinking the same thing as you, so I googled the definition of elope. It means, "to escape". It can also mean "to run away and marry without parents permission". I always thought it only meant running away to get married. I learned something new today. Lol Now I feel like there have been several times in my life that I really wanted to elope. Haha, that sounds so strange to say. 🤣 😂 😅
I have been summoned When he became 16 his parents wanted him to quit high school and work with them but he didn’t want to, his uncle herd about it and helped him finish high school, he also funded his college but his parents would brag to others that they were the ones putting him through college, when he was graduating he could only invite 2 people so he invited his uncle and aunt, when parent found out they were furious and they got in a heated argument about it, saying they they deserved to be there and they they will be embarrassed if they aren’t there, so the graduation comes and he invited his uncle and aunt, his parents were livid and stared spreading roomers that his uncle was manipulating him, he finds out about this and invites his extended family, uncle and parents and reveals the truth his parts storm out and threaten to cut him off.
The parent didn't want to do the work putting their own child through school the uncle stepped in its right the uncle go to the graduation the parents didn't do anything to help OP
OP, your parents stormed out threatening to not help you any more? Umm... when did they help you and would taking away their help make any difference in your life? Naaah.... didn't think so! Go live your best life EVER, OP, and may your God bless you.
WTF!!! Why are you allowing your parents to take credit for both high school and college? Your uncle and his wife (while I like to think an aunt by marriage would always support a niece or nephew by marriage without a blood connection, but that’s never been the case with me.). ❤❤ to both aunt and uncle. Thank you hugs to both! Huge thank you to the aunt for supporting her husband’s decision to take care of you through college. This is how a family should work, and your parents are an example for how families often don’t work.
I feel like this is a lot over graduating college. I'm on the uncles' side. The parents are a-holes, but is it really that big of an achievement to graduate college? He's acts like he won the Nobel Prize or something.
The rest of your families opinion doesnt matter.your Uncle and his family deserve the invitation obviously. Your parents have been bragging about their assumed efforts even before Grad.Dont let them manipulate you.
its ALWAYS the ones that do the least and try to put you down that expect the most like they did everything, i would have posted pics of the graduation with the caption "thanks for putting me though college and believeing in me when my own parents couldnt" or something like that, they think they are great but they tried to ruin your furture but what op did was perfect since he answered questions people had with his speach
All things considered I am curious how the relationship with the parents really get any worse. Laterally perhaps but of no consequence. Taking the uncle and aunt is the only legitimate option.
I know that family is important, but how were the parents family when they did all that they could to get in OP's way of getting an education. At this point in life I only keep company with those that have been there for me. When it is time to party and celebrate any achievements I only want my support circle there with me.
There’s something super “pat” and neat about the stories on this channel. AI generated? Theres also a serious need for editing - points repeated 3-4 times just in different wording eg “I felt abandoned and alone. It seemed like everyone had left me. It was as though everyone I care about vanished. It was like I lost my whole world.”
make the invitations out for your uncle and aunt that stood beside you to make your dreams come true, not your parents that did nothing for you. you also need to explian to the rest of your family what your folks tried to do when you were younger by dropping out of school to work for your dad.
Ngl op rambled a lot more they should have. Also if his family is not happy with him not inviting his parents. It’s pretty clear they believe that his parents paid for his college so he needs to set the record straight and tell them his parents didn’t pay for anything.
Parents wanted him to leave his future to support them there are scholarships and student loans if they actually cared about their son they would be grateful to uncle too 😂😂
I do think the parents are jerks because they lied about the situation instead of being grateful to the uncle for supporting their kid, but I do understand the financial situation. Although I myself wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t fault parents for telling their son that he has to work since they’re struggling to pay bills. Plus the father had his own business so of course he’d make the son help out there. But making him quit high school would have been unacceptable. I get not having the money for college but high school drop out? Crazy asf.
I can say this because a person gets a college degree, doesn't mean they have common sense! This dude is an idiot 🤦 🙄 you definitely invite the person who believed in you and PAID for your college funds!!!!
Your parents did absolutely nothing to help you. Invite your uncle.
Is support your uncle and aunt. Your parents did nothing. Wanted you to quit high school.
Nothing? so them feeding him, clothing him, guiding him until college didn't mean anything? wow women really neglect all the past efforts and only focus on the "What have you done for me lately" ideology.

Give all glory to your uncle. Do not even mention the parents.
it is actually a very clear cut situation. your parents wanted you to drop out of high school, not get a college education.
.. your uncle was simply supporting you and your dreams

Nope, the uncle just have money, the parents is poor.

The uncle is a way better parent than ops actually parents.
"if someone wasn't there for you in your lows, why should you allow them to be with you in your highs?"
NTA!!! Your uncle soley helped you, your parents didn't do anything to help or anything. Invite your uncle. They are your true supporters. Your family is just holding back your true potential.

How do you elope from a graduation ceremony? Go with your uncle.

UNCLE RULES!!! When you think of it his parents never done anything and didn't deserve to go.
14:35 why was that so amazing? It added like ten years to my life
Your uncle and aunt deserves the recognition of your success.Your parents did nothing Washington.Why should they receive anything?
Nta your parents don’t even deserve it they did nothin
I have been summoned

MAN this guy spends, like, 5 minutes waffling so hard his 23 and me just said "Syrup".
That part got to me too. A kind of 'woe is me' attitude. You said it once, clearly. You don't need to keep repeating it in different ways. We get it.
That shit pissed me off so much I just started skipping slowly to get to the update. Bro talks to damn much
Apparently having shitty parents and a great uncle is his whole personality.
I feel like this is a lot over graduating college. I'm on the uncles' side. The parents are a-holes, but is it really that big of an achievement to graduate college? He's acts like he won the Nobel Prize or something.

Crazy how. The parents through are always so crazy

For those who finished the short 0:57 for overlap 1:00 no overlap
Ngl op rambled a lot more they should have. Also if his family is not happy with him not inviting his parents. It’s pretty clear they believe that his parents paid for his college so he needs to set the record straight and tell them his parents didn’t pay for anything.
"Choosing my uncle over my own family."
Your Uncle....IS family??? Or do I not know what Unvles are?
Parents wanted him to leave his future to support them there are scholarships and student loans if they actually cared about their son they would be grateful to uncle too 😂😂
Take your uncle
You did well. You will become successful. They will call and ask for money, they will be fine. Watch and see. It always turns out that way.😊
13:20 ik these stories are usually fake but does anyone ever actually do family meetings like this? Thats the main reason ik this is fake to me haha
You give honor we honor is due
I do think the parents are jerks because they lied about the situation instead of being grateful to the uncle for supporting their kid, but I do understand the financial situation. Although I myself wouldn’t do it, I wouldn’t fault parents for telling their son that he has to work since they’re struggling to pay bills. Plus the father had his own business so of course he’d make the son help out there. But making him quit high school would have been unacceptable. I get not having the money for college but high school drop out? Crazy asf.
The uncle is like a better parent
looks like bro majored in yapping
Agreed! Way too much drama and angst over something that isn't abnormal. People graduate from college despite their parents all the time.
They tried to make him drop out of high school at 16! To work for the father and not go to college! How is that normal?!
Invite your uncle your parents seen horrible
What support? public High School is free in the states. Great about supporting you in College though. Way to step up
What a dramatic AI
I don’t even understand why it’s a question. Invite uncle parents didn’t support but uncle did
Best uncle ever bro❤
I can say this because a person gets a college degree, doesn't mean they have common sense! This dude is an idiot 🤦 🙄 you definitely invite the person who believed in you and PAID for your college funds!!!!
You did right
na this really sounds fake
Grow a spine
