So I got offered two jobs, my family all said I should take one but I've taken the other. My family think I've been at one job today.. it's a company that works at all different events doing catering. I was going to take the job but last minute decided not to. I didn't tell my family though because I knew they wouldn't be happy because they don't want me doing the other job. My family's been texting asking how the job went today.. and I've been replying to them so basically lying through my teeth to them and it makes me feel so bad! I can't tell them I didn't take the job because then they'll know I've lied. Not only did I let the company down by telling them last minute I couldn't take the job but I'm also lying to my family. I've just told them I'm not taking any more shifts with the company because I didn't like it, but that's just another lie...

Just tell them you reconsidered the other job and took it after not liking the other one. Then stop lying and stand up for yourself.

You have the right to choose which job you take irrespective of what your family think. I agree with Shelly_x just tell your parents you didnt like the job they wanted you to take and have decided to take the other job. They might be annoyed at first but im sure they will get over it. In this economic climate any job is better than no job.

Just tell them. If you're doing something you enjoy, they should just be happy for you

Just tell them you chose the job you think suited you. Apologise for lying, and just say you felt under pressure to do a job you hated, so you didnt know what to do. Dont feel bad about not choosing to do something that doesnt make you happy. We only live once. Goodluck hope it goes well for you

You're making it sound like the other job is prostitution...or is it?

They'll find out eventually, just tell the truth

Well if you're going to be doing the job for any length of time I imagine it will come out sooner or later. I don't believe your family would discourage work in any form, unless possibly if you're a stripper...

In a couple of days tell them you hated it and quit and took the other job offer.

I agree. Id tell them this.
They may not be happy that you have not taken the job they wanted you to but they will get over it.

Its your choice was job you do , not your family's choice.

Do what you want.
