Well, what should I do?
My parents are against me joining when I graduate. I'm planning on joining the Corps when I graduate and my mom is totally against it. My dad is a different story he wants me to go to college first and then join so that I "could be an officer" is his rational to it. He was in the Philippine Military before for a year until my mom made him leave, surprise surprise for me. I My mom is totally against it, tho for good reason.
Is there a way I could tell her that it's fine to join? I have told her all the things I think recruiters use to butter my mom up. Everything from the 150 jobs and not being always in the frontlines because I could be an analyst or some techie but she still insists that it's dangerous. Her reasons are I think reasons mothers always use, not liking being far away from a child, the danger of the military, and a Filipino twist to it, she doesn't want me to see dead and away because I'm the one and only son.
I really need help with this, I am not the best son by any means. I have talked out to my mom plenty of times, and I have sometimes been a very bad kid. But I don't want to badly hurt my moms feelings when I go and sign up. I am afraid for my mom's health if I go. So is there a way to make her like the idea of me joining? And an add on to this, would be your stories before you joined. Like how did your parents react and what they thought about it before and after you joined.
