[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I may sound spoiled and immature but it doesn't change the reality that my parents didn't stop me from pursuing a non-lucrative career.
I wish they had been more authoritarian when it came to this. Now at 41 and making only $80k, i'm a laughing stock in our friends circle. 
I'm lucky that my parents help pay for childcare and put a 50% down payment on our home so we could afford to live in NW DC.[/quote]

If you're not a troll, congratulations for being one of the larger assholes I've seen on DCUM - and that is quite a distinction.

Did it ever occur to you that the reason you're a "laughingstock" at 41 is not because your parents weren't authoritarian enough but rather than you reached adulthood without seeming to be able to take personal responsibility for anything?  You sound like life has simply drifted you on a course over which you have no control, and you're looking back in judgment rather than looking forward for opportunity.  Don't your rich parents have some sort of network you could leverage into a higher-paying field or friends that could pay you a fortune to design their company logo?

And you should tell your parents thank you for continuing to financially support you as an adult rather than blaming them for your poor career choices.  At this stage in your life, it sounds like you're not going to amount to much, and you shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you.[/quote]
