Sorry for the late reply but I have been away from the Forums.

Unless you are a minor, I don't think you have any obligation to meet the expectations of your parents and especially if those expectations are unrealistic.

It is understandable that parents have wishes for their adult children. But expectations are more than wishes. They usually contain a hidden ultimatum... as in "You should do this OR ELSE." In this sense, expectations are similar to demands.

Does this make sense?
