ever since i've been going to college, my parents nagged me less. they would nag me on when i'd be graduating from college though =D
Yes, these are annoying things that parents do, but they are our parents and only want what's best for us. 4 & 5 - they only lecture you about how hard things were like for them so that you'd be able to appreciate your current lifestyle. I certainly don't want my kids to grow up to be ungrateful brats & take everything for granted. If you think you have it bad, there's millions out there who have it worse (in terms of lifestyle). You probably don't suffer even half the amount of hardship that your parents did. And why did they work so hard? To put a shirt on your back & a roof over your house. So quit whining about it. 3 - they expect you to get good grades because no parent wants to see their children have a hard life. And in their eyes, because a lot of them were uneducated, they know how hard life is without a proper education. So, the road to a better lifestyle is one with an education. You can't blame them for wanting the best for their children. Certainly, your grades are going to have a greater effect on your future than it is on theirs. Why do you think asian kids, ON AVERAGE, earn better grades than their white/mexican ect. classmates? 8 - your parents ask that you address everybody by aunty/uncle so that you will be respectful to their friends. It's a matter of manners. 11 - a lot of people out there don't even have a decent amount of food each day, and here you are, not finishing your own food. To them, wasting is a no no because it takes a lot to earn a dollar. If you are already working, you should know why they feel this way. 13 - your parents took care of you from the day that you were born until 18 (if you're lucky enough to be financially independent at that age). The right thing to do is to take care of your own parents when you have the ability to do so. What? You're just gonna tell them to take a hike after all those years of hardwork in raising you? If that really is the case, then I have nothing else further to say to you.
well you'd be pretty surprised by how many kids/teens hate their parents for doing these things. i've witnessed it myself from my younger cuzins. their parents don't let them go out late at night and they start talking back & yelling at their parents faces. not enough kids these days realize that their parents only want whats best for them like shy said..
well I was going to copy and paste the whole list but I thought these would do. they annoy me a lot but now that i'm in college i don't have to hear #1 as much unless i go home on the weekends.
Calling everyone auntie or uncle is not annoying...cause I usually have no clue (nor do I care) what their names are! It's like the chinese version of man/dude/nigga
yes......but i dont think these were meant to be seriously..these are just things that happen...common things in asian culture..if u take em seriously...then good for u....and some of these can be applied to other parents.....
Hence the birth of emo ;p I remember in middle school we would listen to music loudly just to piss off their parents. The more parents complained, the worst it got. I do see why they do it though. my dad works two jobs just to support me and my brother. My mom would always tell me he liked working, so I never thought about it much for a while. As I grew older and learned to understand the language, i realized he worked because he feels like he had to to support us :(
Lol... I agree with those completely. But hey, as annoying as they were, if it weren't for my parents, I wouldn't be where I am today.
well, I don't hate my parents for their strictness, and I understand where they come from, but one thing I can't stand is how they treat my brother differently then how they treat me and my sis which is what makes me angry/annoyed. I don't understand why he gets to go clubbing and I don't! I'm already 18! With that said...anyone have any suggestions on how I could get my parents to let me go?
1 and 2 - i am mostly always been compared to the kids of friends, like look at how good of a job they got, or look at the good grade thay have in HS.......etc
I agreed the same . I don't hate the 4 because i haven't asked anything from them for a long time -_-2
