I want to decorate cakes
But my dad doesn't take me seriously at all. He wants me to go to community college and get a business associates degree so I can take over his business. I don't think he understands at all that cooking makes me so happy and it's all I would ever want to do. How can I get him to take me more seriously? How can I make him see this is something I'm willing to be serious about?

Thats great that you want to do what you want to, not what your dad wants. Definitely take a course of some kind on cake decorating, that will show him you are serious about it. also, try entering into some local contests, and bake lots of cakes at home that you can decorate to get the experience. your dad will see that you are really into it in no time. Also, you can always go to community college and minor in cake decorating if you want to. Good luck!!!

Hey,
I'm sorry that you're dad is not being supportive. I think, however, that sometimes parents try to steer us in the direction that they think is right because they believe that we do not know what we want. Like you've said, he doesn't take you seriously. Well I think that the best way to convince anyone of anything is to prove to them that you know what you are talking about. Find out information about how you are going to get into the cake decorating business. Are you going to go to a culinary arts school? How much will it cost? How far is it? Is it difficult to get a job in this? These and more are the questions you should find answers to. Then you should sit your dad down and possibly another more supportive member of the family should back you up. Then you can tell him all the information you have. Convince him that this isn't a joke. Convince him that this means the world to you, and he will take notice. Anyways, I wish you good luck :). It's good to hear that there are still people out there pursuing what makes them happy instead of what is sure to make them rich.

This isn't really about you, ya know. Your dad wants you to follow in his footsteps, be a prodigy and whatnot. He wants you to be like him. It's not a bad dream for your children when you think you've done well in life.
You need to sit him down and tell him that this is something you love, and that all you're asking to do is follow your dream. If he got his business by following his own dream, bring that up. You have to make him realize that all you're doing is something that you love.
If that fails... well... pay your own way through college. Student loans are the best. ^_^
