Me(18M) and my mum(40F) have just had an argument over what I do in my free time. And I have no idea how to respond.

I'm stuck as to what I want to pursue as I've never really had aspirations to focus on a single thing but instead looked towards multiple pathways i.e. Aerospace engineering or computer science/engineering.

Keep in mind, many BA degrees are often very general. Hence, if you start out with mechanical engineering, you can still specialise later on.

There's also nothing that speaks against taking a gap year and doing internships, earning money, being an aupair etc.

My dad was outside in the porch smoking while this was happening.¨

If I were you, I'd tell him that you're quite disappointed in him. How can he just stand back and let his wife treat his son this way?
