AS HIS PARENTS KICKED HIM OUT OF THEIR HOUSE, NOW THEY WANT TO LIVE WITH HIM, BUT HE IS REFUSING

A man had shared his story of how his parents had kicked him out of their house, when he wanted a different career that his parents had choosed for him, and now he is a successfull investor. Then his parents wanted to move in to his house, but he refused them.
The man had shared his story on Reddit, and asked for advices from other Redditors.

He had stated that he has a family of doctors, and any other career is not a good thing on their eyes. He had stated that his interest on other areas of expertise led him to kick out from the house of his parents.
He had stated, “My (37m) family comes from and is a long line of doctors, being a doctor is the only acceptable profession in their eyes and anything aside from that is met with literal abandonment. Which is what happened to me when I turned 17 and told my family I was NOT going to be a doctor but to build an acting career / social media career (youtube wasn’t huge then) and supplement my income with small business endeavours. When I told my family this they kicked me out and we subsequently lost contact for 17 years.”
They had reconnected during the COVID time, “During time they moved to the UK and my sister became a doctor and my older brother got into a very competitive stream for surgery (neurosurgery specialising in spinal tumour diagnosis and removal), which he has now finished. We reconnected when COVID hit and they told me they were moving back to Sydney for lifestyle reasons and because my brother has found a $750k a year job.”
He had stated that they never wondered what he was doing, and they had assumed that their son was an unsuccessful man. “During the last 2 years they never asked me how my acting career / social media stuff went, and basically assumed I was just slumming in it Sydney. To their credit they were correct in that I didn’t “make it big” in acting (maybe the world wasn’t ready for a main stream leading role Indian…), or make it at all. I did however “make it big” as an investment banker and recently made partner at the bank I work.”

Then he invited his parents to his own home, “This came to head on Friday when I met them for house shopping (I walked to meet them, and when they asked about my car, I just said I preferred to walk), and they realised the areas they wanted to live; despite being highly paid medical professionals, simply wasn’t going to be happening, as the houses cost north of $20m. When we decided to call it a day and regroup they suggested going to my place before going out to dinner.”
When they had learnt that he bought a great house, they had thought that he was doing some illegal things as he shared, “When we arrived at my house they thought I was renting a room and enquired how much rent was, I informed them that I wasn’t renting and that this was my house. They lost their shit, accusing me of lying to them for years and only meeting up to rub their face in my “probably illegally gained” wealth, and capped it off by informing me that they’ll be living with me now instead of with my oldest brother, since they can’t be seen living in a worse house then their son.”
He had stated the he rejected their offer to stay with him and shared, “I laughed at them and reminded them that they bet on my brother and sister not me, and that they have a better chance of living with my neighbours than me. At that point they threatened to “cut me out of their will”, to which I reminded them of the fact that they can’t even afford to buy it my area, so their will and assets don’t really matter to me.”

Then concluded his post and asked for advice, “Now they aren’t talking to me, and my brother and sister are saying I should have been proactive in letting them know of my success (I have a public linkedin profile, so they literally never googled me).”
Here are some of the advices that people on Reddit had gave to the man.
“Let them know you’re successful? Why? So they’d talk to you again simply to see what they can get out of you? Thanks but no thanks. You handled this just right.”
“Sorry that they are not interested in you as a person but only as a status symbol. Very sad. Congratulations on your great career though”
“I’m going to assume the parents wanting to live with you, their adult child is a culture thing because that seems odd. Anyway nta. You don’t owe them anything.”
