Asian parents, cannot understand them.

So I'm 23 and I told them I am moving out to be independent and seek peace and quiet as I finish my last year of college. Their response? Typical Asian parents response trying to make me feel all guilty. My mom said she raised me through all these years and now I'm abandoning her. I'm supposed to be taking care of her. I'm like, "well I can't live with you forever." She said, "well I wanted you to live with me until you're married!"

I just rolled my eyes and wonder how in the world Asian parents EVER develop such mindset.
 
You first mistake was not moving after HS 😛

But seriously just be glad your not an asian GIRL (not that I am, but I have friends that are... and all i can say is YEESH)...

Just don't pass on these silly traditions to your kids and the injustice will stop 😛
 
just do well you last year and i'm sure they'll get over it 🙂

it comes with the territory 😉
 
btw, in a few months, she'll be bragging to her other Asian mom friends how her son is supporting himself.

the funny thing is I know she won't. she'll be bitching constantly about how the family is slowly abandoning her. we have a total of 12 siblings. Only 4 were living with her. When I leave, only 3 will be left.

holy crap, you have 12 siblings!?

with 3 left, there's no need to feel guilty 🙂 she's just being a drama queen, like all Asian women 😛
 
My parents couldn't wait for me to get out of the house when I was 18...although my mom calls me up occasionally to let me know how boring the house is without me 🙂

Good God. She kept on calling me "the little guy" because Im the youngest. She told my brother "the little guy is moving out thinking he's all grown up." That bugs the hell out of me that she still thinks I'm a baby just because I'm the youngest. Does age play a factor anymore? Sheesh.

ahhh.......you're the youngest of 12. it all makes sense now 🙂
 
I'm 24 and still living at home. They're in a crap load of debt, and I'll be sticking around for some time until the debts is more manageable, then I'll be moving out. I wanna move out, but need to be financially stable first, plus I don't want to screw them over financially on such short terms notice. When all's said and done, I'll probably be 27 or 28 before I finally can become independent. For asian families, that's common I think in the eastern world. In the western world though, where its the norm for caucasians to move out after HS or college, we'll prolly get laughed at for being daddy or mommy's little kid 😛 What can I say, you think what you think, I can't change that.

One difference I tend to notice is how the parents are taken care of in the latter years. In NA, it seems ok to have them live by themselves or move them to the seniors citizens home. In asian families, its almost a given the children will take care of them and not mind them taking care of their elderly parents at home. It's an expectation of asians and a given I think.

But I'm 23 man. I could legally have 5 kids right now if I wanted to. This is so irrational.
 
Asian customers crack me up sometimes. I love it when I get on site and the customer only speaks Cantonese and I only speak English. It gets pretty interesting with the kids, neighbors and telephone calls for interpretors.

I try throwing my high school Spanish at them sometimes, but I don't think they see the humor in it.😀
