    Not sure if this is an asian thing but my mum, my dad doesnt care less. But my mum always compare me to my cousins or to their friends' kids... etc! Soooo annoying!! And I'm like i'm not them, STOP comparing me to them!! I mean its alright for them to compare us kids innit. But when us kids talk about comparing parents noo.. they give us a row!

    Do you live in the UK? hehe. Anyways, uhh.. I'm thinking all Asian parents are like that and that's probably why there's no reason to discuss it because it's been discussed in other threads. Try look in the Rant Forum.

    all the time, its just built into all asian parents to compare you and say "why cant you be like so and so, they doing this and always do that"

    My parents compare me with everyone they know. Even people older or younger than me. It's embarrassing too since I need face when I go out to work, hang out, etc.

    ALL the freaking time!
    The funniest is when me and my cousin walk in the room and the compare us in our faces, and my aunt would be like "Ah look at your daughter so pretty!"
    Then my mum would probably say soemthing like "You'r daughter is much prettier than mine, mine is so fat..."
    Blah blah blah, that was all in the past anyway...

    Haha, they used to until I got to college. I would say to them if you continue to compare me to them why don't you adopt them or if you continue on I will quit school and leech off at home...that silenced them quite well.

    hell yea
    but not int he way that you would normally think
    you normally think of asians comparing you to other kids as, you have to beat them, or you should learn from them



    my parents instead would find kids that that are bad
    like my cousins who wrote on the wall when they were 5
    or my cousins who aren't married at 40
    and keep saying, dont become them dont become them
    i'll die if you can't get married sooner
