That is incredible. How can they resent you owning a business? Is it that in itself or do they not like the particular type of business? Like do you own a gun shop or a Christian bookstore or something along those lines? If the nature of the business is ideologically neutral and they are objecting simply to free enterprise and making a profit, then wow they really are some serious commies.
Nope. Pops hated that I didn’t work for the government. In his world the number 1 goal in life was to get a gov’t job and retire from said gov’t job. Nothing else mattered.
ME. I started a business after I got fired from 5 or 6 private industries (aerospace). Now, I travel the world consulting for companies in composites manufacturing. The goal of my parents? Get a county gov’t job, work there for 20 years and retire. Never take risks and always vote progressive. Who needs Airbus when you can collect a yearly bonus?
