As the OT says, Are your parents critical of you? whether it be in appearance or other things? How has this affect you? My parents are always critical of me, what ever I do from the simplest things to walking to doing chores. Also if there are eye bags they would say I didn't sleep or "last night being a thief" (琴晚做賊哩呀)
Yeah...my mom makes comments about everything I do...and I get self-conscious. =__= If she sees some picture of a pretty girl that some other forum member has posted, and it just happens to be in the forum topic that i'm searching through, she will ask "Who is that?" in a very ....critical and nosy? manner. It's like a 17-year old guy like me can't even show slight interest towards a girl. That's the message that she's giving off...~sigh. And plus I wasn't even intentionally looking...it just happened to be on someone's signature. And I always have to explain to her that it was someone else's picture, and then she stops ranting down on me. I never tell her too much about my friends, in case she asks those types of questions. If i do tell her a bit about my friends, GENDER always comes first. The first thing she will ask is "Is it a guy or a girl?" --- I mean -- why does it matter so much? Why?!?? Ahhh...chinese mothers....I won't go into much more detail about what she does. -__-''
are you one of them people who drag their feet when they walk..??.. and omg ive heard that phrase like so muchy too...esp when my mammi still sees me tapping away on my comp.. umm...sometimes my mammi is critical of my clothes....esp when in hk -__-" but it doesnt really bother me....coz i know shes just looking out for me.. and she knows not to bother me as much...a few days before deadlines for assignments...keke..
^ ooOoo haha....i only asked if you dragged your feet...coz my mammi tells me off for doing that thas all...and was just curious....kekeke....i only really drag my feet when im told to do things i dun wanna do...hahaha...-lol... yuppp....when i come home from shopping and stuff....my mammi quickly goes to see whut ive bought...flicks at the prices and then gives me comments....like "do i really need this"...blah blah.. yeshhh its pretty annoying but nows i just leave stuff in my car boot and bring it into the house later...haha...-innocent..
not really. They don't say much about me (could be I never listening to what they say), only sometimes when I'm buying expensive (mostly electronic) stuff, but my big sis gets some "comments" sometimes. Maybe the asian guy have it easier then girls?
Yes they are, they want me to dress better (like buy better clothes) But I ignore them and it really hasn't affected me
define "better". Don't they like your style/taste or does your clothes "broke down" after you had wore them few times.
They want me to dress more sophisticated like dress shirt, dress pants and dress shoes. I usually Wear t-shirts, hoodies, jeans and runners.(and yes they new and clean)
asian parents always criticize and compare..pisses me off...tooo old skoool..dont even give a fuck wat the say anymore
hahaha not laziness as such....more like reluctant to do things i dont wana do...haha...-lol yeshhh it works like a charm...sneaking things into the house when rents are busy muhaha if anything its more annoying when they see your bank statements -doh
my mum used to say stuff bout my clubbing outfits...such as... u gonna go out wearing that? u might get raped... id be like dudeee wtf... but then again i know my mum is a bit like that sometimes... n yeah... in her eyes a bit of cleavage is already a big deal.... my mum used to tell me to walk straight too.... >_< its annoying but i never listen to her anyway
maybe because i'm the only child, or i hardly see them.......whatever my parents are as strict, especially my dad, he loves me a lot they're pretty open, they never put pressure on my studies (my dad did when i was in elementary school XD)
hell yes!! At least, they used to a lot - get your hair cut, practice your writing, stand up straight, don't sleep so much......but you know what, having seen other parents in action I think they're all like that, not just Chinese ones. The friends and colleagues I have that have kids do exactly the same, they're just trying to raise you the best way they know how. As soon as they can see that you can stand on your own two feet, they'll leave you alone - it's called letting go but I don't think Chinese culture really allows for families to do that too easily!!
