[QUOTE="Cinders, post: 2403922, member: 325454"] My future father in law has just informed me that 'everything they teach nowadays is pointless and stupid' he even went as far as telling me that getting my degree was 'a pushover' and 'complete waste of everyone's time and money.' Now, fair enough, I can respect his opinions, but when he slates the school system, I basically see it as a slight to me, as I am a teacher myself. I worked really hard for three years to get my degree, and now am working hard as a lecturer to get myself ahead in the field. His comments and lack of respect have really hurt me, and then when he asked me if I could change a fuse (to which I replied that I couldn't) he slated my family and told me fiance 'I shall be very worried when you marry her, you'll be knee-deep in sh*t thanks to her'. I don't know what to do about this, or how to explain to my fiance that his father's lack of respect and comments are really knocking my self-worth and hurting me quite deeply. (I will also add that this man told me that Children in Need was a waste of time, even though they paid for me to have life-saving surgery, he bans all 'fun' tv and basically does not seem to understand how 'NORMAL' people live. He thinks that living in a dirty, debt-ridden house is perfectly fine and normal, and thinks this is how the rest of society lives, unless they are 'poncy bas*erds'!! Please help, what do I do?
