Most of us have probably heard that asian parents are too strict, they care too much about grades and they steal every free napkin they can get their hands on. It’s all so sadly true xDD well, it varies slightly…..
It is true that asian parents might be strict, and that ties in with the fact that they want you to get good grades. Now that depends. If they just came from asia, they’re still gonna have that asianness in them. If they’ve been here for quite some time, they’re more chill and understanding. Take my mom for instance. The only reason she used to be push me is because I got good grades on my own (and that’s cause the teachers practically threw 90s at me xD). But after I started doing bad, my mom simply went “as long as you pass everything and graduate on time, I won’t complain”….LIES XD she complained about everything BUT my grades =___= well anyways…..
Asian parents in general have to RELAX. They care waaaay too much. So much, that they start to get a bit annoying. Yes, it’s the parent’s job to care and make sure their kid is doing well, but that doesn’t mean you have to be like all over their case all the time. Give them a little freedom cause the kid has a life, too. Not everything is about grades. If it was, ….o m g xD this is why asian kids get suicidal so much more easier and even I understand this cause I used to be all od about my grades. Now, I just don’t care XD but really, the way these parents are pushing their kids (making them go to afterschool and even weekend school), it makes them feel like crap if they get a 99. It’s like a shame to the family or something and I’m like “no it’s not, cause a 99 is damn hard to get and you better appreciate your child for being so smart and trying hard for YOUR sake and not their own”. Really. And you know, they want their kids to become doctors or lawyers or anything else that’ll cost a lot of money and time cause those professions make you look good and pay pretty well. Now, is that out of the parents’ selfishness, or your own dreams? They should be able to pick whatever major they want as long as they’re passionate about it. That’s my philosophy.
Another thing I noticed about asian parents is that when their kid is suspected of doing something wrong, or just not doing well, they go all in denial like “oh my kid would never do that” or “my child would never be like that”. DE-NI-AL. And then when they’re alone with the kid they start yelling at them. And when their friends come over they start bragging. I never understood that. Seriously. Be honest. Friggin two-faced.
I don’t know, asian parents get on my nerves sometimes, it’s like watching a really typical drama. It’s so annoying. And you know what they’re gonna say and do. And that makes it even more annoying. You just wanna strangle them and be like LISTEN BIOTCH >o< they're so friggin stubborn, too~ I don't know if asians are stubborn in general (I think they are XD) but haven't you ever seen like two asian people and like one of them gives the other money or something and they're like "here I'll give you some money, take it" and the other one's like "no no no it's ok I don't need it" and it goes back and forth. I'm standing there going “if neither of you want it I’ll be more than glad to take it instead” XDD really now, they just UGGGHHHHH
My failed attempt at ranting about asian parents XD there’s A LOT of videos about asian parents……of course, by small asian comedians. And they’re all mad funny, but also somewhat true. HILARIOUS.
