Hi yall,
My mom doesnt support my goal of being a small business owner. She wants me to be a greeter at Walmart for my career despite me having multiple college degrees.She has never supported my goal of being a business owner. She wants me to be self-employed and not have employees at best. She seems to think its unethical for a business owner to hire employees or at least thats the impression I get from her.

Every time I have talked about hiring employees she basically says its unethical or insinuates that. i dont get it because hiring workers is how every business scales under capitalism. Have yall ever met anyone who thinks its unethical for a business to have workers?My parents were not the business type so I would its a new thing. We have our oil company but its more of an investment not an active business so to speak.

Remember that there is a strong possibility that your mother has autism.

My mom had her issues. She did not want me fixing electronics for a small amount of money because there was a business in town that did that.

Autism is often inherited.

If you need her support you are not ready.
