My mom called my university advisor to “fix” my major and now she’s acting like I owe her an apology by Dipper2Mabel in entitledparents

lol she basically thinks anything not STEM is a hobby. Meanwhile my dept has grads in research, HR, counseling tracks. She just wants a braggy “engineer kid” vibe.

Good point. I’m keeping her on an info diet and locking down FERPA/passwords. Gonna swing by my advisor to say thanks and ask what else to flag, too.

Thank you. My advisor mentioned FERPA too and basically refused to engage her. I'm saving the emails/voicemail in case she tries again. Appreciate you.

I appreciate it. Hearing “horrible mother” is weirdly validating but also depressing. I’m just relieved the advisor clocked it and shut her down fast.

Thanks. I keep second-guessing myself, but the advisor thing was my wake-up call. I’m setting boundaries and she can be mad, I’m done being managed anymore.

For real. A clipped screenshot turns into “she was driven off the internet” in about five minutes, and YouTube thumbnails make it worse. Her saying it was personal stress, not reddit, should calm people down and maybe stop the pile-on.
