Telling my parents I turned down a stable office job for freelance work led to a really tense weekend.

Weeks of frosty dinner? That's brutal. @the_morgan's friend really got the silent treatment. My mom would just yell for a weekend and then get over it.

Watched a friend tell her dad she was doing freelance art. He got quiet and dinner was pretty frosty for weeks.

What if their anger is really fear from their own past? Tbh, parents often tie office jobs to security from their own experiences. Seeing you succeed could calm them down over time.
