Also the older asian generation can be so damn naive & for some reason, chinese swear words tend to sound sharper than english swear words - does anyone agree? Maybe, being a bbc, theres daily exposure to the english language, good bad or ugly. My mum can reduce me to tears easily when she goes schiz & yet we laugh at jokes together. Its a love-hate relationship. Same goes to the dad.
older generations tend 2 find that talkin bout other ppl - are only the only things 2 talk bout tbh... like me parents - constantly talkin bout other ppl - all the time - like theres nothing else at all - 2 talk bout...
nope they like to talk about grades also or anything to do with work. lol. @rebelxatxheart i don't find chinese swear words to be sharper than english ones lol.
Both my parents are 100% Chinese and they are so traditional Chinese. No relationship until after you finish school. Now that I have graduated and in a relationship, there's the rules of no sex before marriage, boyfriend not allowed in my room, must come home to sleep every night, no hugging, no kissing, guy must be make more than me (income wise), must come from a good family, must be 100% Chinese etc. I don't know how times I have to tell them we are in Canada and I was born Canadian and nearly white-washed.
I'm pretty close with my parents but our topics are generally about every day life and nothing extremely private.
My mum is actually quite open - open in the sense that she is ok with me having a bf but my dad is traditional. He means no dating until after uni/studies. I dunno if this is strict but i'm fine with it.
Honestly my parents divrocd and like .. my mom always wants to snoop in my life . ofc my dad dusnt kare coz hes a gonner .. but .. my mom likes to ask question a bit too personal and she think i sleep with boys which i dont get . and she think i have sexual relationships . i think somtimes parents get a bit too personal .
Both..my parents are OPEN..i mean they were both born around 1950ish and idk they are soo open i come to them for EVERYTHING...they are very supportive. Not very demanding.. Idk why but i love it. I mean as a girl..i stay over my bf's house and they aren't like OMG its gonna be ruing ur rep. and stuff.. they just think as long as i don't go to jail, or like do anything troublemaking i'm good. so i'm sooo glad they are my parents..hrmm i think maybe cuz i'm the babyy kinda spoiled. =]
My parents do care maybe more so my mom... but there always seem to be a lack of emotion between us...
I'm very close to my mom. Although I am living away from home (have been living away from home since I was 18), I try as much as possible to call her once a day. Just to chat and catch up on each others life. We are like friends and more importantly we are mother and daughter. As for my Dad, not as close to him as he is the typical chinese dad (those that doesn't day I love you) But I know that he does care for all his children. They treat me with respsect and gives me space. they trust me to do the right thing always. They will always bet there to guide me and give me support. But sometimes they are the ones giving me a lot of pressure. Guess it comes with the territory since I'm the eldest.
I'm a Chinese dad and I say "I love you" to all my kids all the time; I kiss them too (the boys and well as girl). On the other hand, when any of them mess up, I'll smack the shit out all of them too. I treat my kids with respect and do afford them a certain amount of privacy, but hey, random drug searches are a regular routine as well as fire drills. Since I'm computer literate, I'm the "administrator" of their systems too. (talk about having a nightmare for a parent eh? LOL...) It's love, but it's also tough. One of my sons is fond of saying "my dad's a drill sergeant.". Oh, and as far as I'm concerned, I know they love me, even if they don't show it. But right now, they only have to fear me. They will love me more later as they realize that I'd help to prepare them for a life without having to rely on anyone except themselves. Ralph
Its hard being a parent.. there is no skool that teaches wat a parent must do and wat a parent shudnt do Its a matter of choice realli =/
hmm actually i dont know.. i mean im pretty close to my mom cause i tell her everything as for my dad everything i tell him he bitches at so i would say im extremely close with my mom xD as for my future children i would love treat them in a way that will allow them to come for me for advice at any time i dont want to one of those families where everyone is secluded and like dont really talk, and only talk when they want to go out and get money so yeah i hope to treat my kids really well =/
i'm not close to my parents but they would do almost anything for me/hubby/daughter. i don't tell them everything but they're there when i do need someone to talk/b!tch about some things. they're the typical parents. sometimes they're cool but sometimes they're unfair/annoying. my in-laws are fake. they always voice that they will always be there for anything but that's basically just for THEIR children. two of their sons cheated on their wives and my in-laws had the nerves to go around saying that it was the daughter-in-laws fault for the divorce. :nuts: my father-in-law is always telling us to stick together as a family but they have ditched their granddaughter's birthday party for friend's party to build up their reputation. in my eyes, i think i'm a good mom. i'm strict but also a cool mom. i yell at my daugher when she's naughty. i baby her when she's sick. i comfort and give her advice (although she's only 5) when she doesn't have a good day at preschool. i go play with her in the mc donald's playground -tongue2. i buy her things she wants but only once in a while. i treat her like a kid and also like an adult when i have too (educating her about pedophiles n strangers). As with my cooking, I take what I've learned and put it together to make it my own unique recipe of rearing my daugher.
I hope I can learn to raise my kids in a healthy and safe environment. I would give them the love they need, but also discipline them so they don't grow up lazying around like me all the time, haha. N yea, like Cadeline, I would have to put the effort in to make the relationship with my parents stronger, which can help me pass on to my kids, if I ever decide to raise a family in the near future
i'm guessing if your parents are a bit younger than most that have a child your age, you'd be closer to them.
