He considered himself lucky they'd been mostly silent on the topic, never really sitting down and pushing him for it. If the pressure came all at once, Itachi would be that good son he was expected to be.
He would bend, and he would accept the grooming and all protests would die on his end. No matter how much he wants something else, he understands he won't get it-- that fate doesn't work out his way.
Itachi was good at a lot of things that he didn't like to do, and that he didn't want to do.
He's not totally unaware of the goings on in his Father's mind, it was on both either way's, it was only a matter of time and location.
"The rain is letting up." It's not pounding as hard, and some of the sun is trying to break through the clouds. He'll keep that kitten in his lap for now.
