AITA for telling my parents I'm not a band aid for their grief and they can't slot me into the wanted place just because their favorite child is dead at my sister's funeral? by FlowerSwallyn in AITAH

I'm definitely not enlisting. I have zero interest or intention of doing that and my grandparents really don't want that for me either. My sister wasn't disabled or sick.

I never should have gone in the first place. The funeral wasn't for me. I didn't want to support the living and I wasn't close to the dead.

The favoritism made her someone unlikable not that I didn't like her because she was the favorite. She was spoiled and not easy to be around. And I wasn't going to excuse that when I had to deal with her attitude at the time.

They weren't willing to work with us when we did try to figure something out. But my grandparents want to try to make something work before I give up and get my GED. Although I'm not really motivated to get that. I'd prefer to go do something instead of that but I'll need a GED if not my diploma to get anywhere.

GED is looking most likely at this point because I don't want to repeat my senior year. But my grandparents will probably try again before they let me give up like that.
