Way to crush a child’s spirit.

Dad wanted to go pro, but he’s just an amateur next to Mom.

By as early AS 1987, an “oopsie” pregnancy wouldn’t have forced an aspiring NBA player out of even college ball, and in addition, he’d probably make more than enough that Donna could have just stopped out until Miles was old enough that she could feel comfortable going back to college full time (not to mention that I’d think you’d still have to have a bachelor’s degree just to BE a substitute teacher even in their time).

Was that less true in 1976 or ’77 when Miles was on the way?

That said, I almost hope he isn’t mature enough to understand what the two of them just said.

Encyclopedias?! My father always told me to look it up in the dictionary.

A Mother blaming her child, and the man she gladly married, for her choices is a jerk and a lazy mouthed liar. The women around Miles are selfish and mean.

Stick with your artistic capabilities, Miles, it’s your best chance for success and happiness.

So Miles killed their dreams?

This is why you don’t ask questions.

He’ll make it up to you when he places you in the nursing home you don’t want to go into.

That is some frost cold revenge.

quite a guilt trip to be laying on her son

What is this “encyclopedia” thing of which you speak?

its not sunday

I once asked my dad for an encyclopedia. He told me I had to walk to school like everyone else.

Dreams are nice but life always seems to interrupt them.

Poor Miles. Know this could be very traumatic.

Yikes. Dad has to walk the tightrope and Mom lays it on the line.

Hey – you got two loving parents. Go with it.

All parents resent their kids and have buyer’s remorse. They much prefer pets.

we are sorry for killing your derams for 3 years because 2019 is when the comic started so that’s right right tell me if i am worng

Whew! Well no pressure there. No siree.

Had a co-worker whos dad said he didn’t want her or her sisters even dating until they finished college. She started dating someone form college and they got married without dad knowing. She quit college. I don’t know how dad reacted

Bit harsh.

Getting some “Marriage is Bliss” vibes here.

Wow. That’s… that’s not an okay thing to say to your kid.

Oh, that’s surefire double standard and a sure sign of a control freak.
