The notion that children are their parents' investment seriously needs to stop. Unfortunately, some parents, particularly in Asia, expect that their lives will become a lot better once their children buy them homes and take care of their financial needs after their retirement.

Children are never the parents' backup plans for when they're older. Moms and dads need to understand that their kids also have dreams and aspirations of their own.

Awesome parents nurture their children by teaching independence. They impart the value of self-reliance and standing on their own two feet so that when the young ones become adults, they are ready to face reality and carve their own paths without feeling burdened by unrealistic expectations or obligations towards their parents.

Today's story is about a Redditor who believes that he should take charge of his own life regardless of what his father thinks of him. On the "Entitled Parents" subreddit, a man tells the community that his father considers him a failure as a man.

And we're pretty sure you'll find the reason behind it ridiculous. The original poster has always dreamed of visiting Hawaii someday.

He's about to make it a reality on his upcoming trip. But his father tells him to grow up and stop acting like a kid because traveling is a dream for children.

Then his dad told him that he was a failure as a man because he was already 25 but without a house, a wife, and a kid.

This post over at the Entitled Parents subreddit will make you raise your eyebrow.

The OP explains the reason why he was told by his dad that he's a failure.

Firstly, his dad tells him that traveling is a child's dream. Secondly, He's failure as a man because he isn't married and he doesn't have his own house.

Yikes!

The community applauded the OP for not having the attitude of a failure.

Some words of wisdom from a Redditor.

The OP's dad deserves to be nominated father of the year. /s

Unfortunately, there are lots of parents who have the same mindset as the OP's dad.

The OP should just continue what his doing — carving a path of his own and doing things that make him happy.

What kind of father wants to drag his son down?

We all know who the real disappointment.

Going to Hawaii was the best decision, and most people in this community agree.

A lot of users are so curious about the answer to this question.

In this story, we all know who fails as a man and as a dad. As for the OP, he made the right decision of leaving for Hawaii and having the time of his life.

It's a dream come true, and he must be so proud of himself. We hope he continues to be more successful in life, and in the process, proves his dad wrong.

He may not have the power to change his dad's mindset, but he already has the attitude of a winner.
