    It's an Asian thing.

    Parents will do anything to help kids and expects kids to take care of them when they are old. That's why they push the kids hard, part of it is ego, the other is sorta like a pension plan.

    This thread has taught me that all Asian parents are manipulative sociopaths.

    Sympathy negated.
    LOL

    You know, every time I meet an Asian person who doesn't have an education and doesn't have a decent job I automatically think about hard their parents must be on them over it.

    CNY is all about money. And luck. But luck in the sense that you'll make lots of money and be rich.

    Yup, Chinese parents have huuuuugggge ego when it comes to their kids. They love bragging to their friends about how successful their kids are and how much money they make.

    And if their kids are failures (failures usually means no $), they will never bring it up in conversations and have difficulties dealing with it when the conversation start to turn to kids.

    I can totally see them bitching about your car purchases. Cars lose value, you need to buy houses!

    Some of you guys are pretty selfish, I'm excited for the day that I will be able to financially take care of my parents. They've been awesome parents and they deserve to be taken care of.

    Hardly.

    Most white people would sooner shoot their own children than go to an old folks home.

    That's why everyone in old folks homes are white people with dementia. That is the only time we can get them in there.

    There is a couple 2 doors down from me. Both are in their 90s still living in the home they bought in 1955. Their daughters mow the lawn and shovel the show but they are still living at home.

    My experiences nobody takes care of their parents like brown people.

    European whites aren't bad but North American whites are the only people I regularly hear cussing out their parents, and usually if someone says "i don't talk with my parents" they are Canadian or American.

    I find the opposite to be true. Non-white people just cuss about their parents on the Internet or when hanging around their white friends at the pub.

    White parents do not put unreasonable expectations on their adult kids and let them live life on their own terms once they are adults. However if you are going to screw around and not doing anything with your life it is unlikely that you will be bankrolled by mom and dad for very long.

    As a result of this attitude I have a great relationship with my family. They treat me like the adult that I am and I can respect them for the way I was raised.

    My mom is happy to be independent of her parental duties and has no desire or intention to move in with either of us when she gets too old to live on her own.

    No guilt. No pressure. Everyone is happy. As a result I am more than happy to help my mom out when she needs a hand because she is genuinely grateful.

    This is not true for all "white" people though. If you are Italian, Greek, Spanish, Portuguese or from the European eastern block you are still screwed with parents who think that their kids "owe" them something for raising them.

    Additionally.

    If you are an child who's parents...

    - Paid your university education in full
    - Bought you a car
    - Gave you a down payment for a house/condo
    - Pay off your credit card

    etc.

    Be afraid. Your dad might as well be Tony Soprano and one day you will owe him a favour.

    It's funny though, as I was watching the video, I was thinking &quot;Isn't the norm for asian parents to push their kids to the limit to work hard, get a good job, and don't stop to smell the roses, and now they want them to slow down after decades of it being drilled into them?&quot;

    Then I read the responses in the thread, and confirmed my thoughts
    One thing that children of Asian immigrants often forget is the sacrifice in quality of life that their parents gave up when they moved here. It's one hell of an uphill battle having to learn a new language, often having your degrees not be recognized, etc... and with that language barrier definitely comes a glass ceiling in the corporate world. I think it's pretty fair to say that most who had the means to come here moved down one social class (from what would be upper class in Asia to middle class here, etc).

    Now, the upside of that trade is that their kids have more opportunity, and can compete with lazy white kids whose parents are more concerned about making sure they have had their daily dose of warm fuzzies and encouragement than drilling into them a ridiculous work ethic (j/k... um, sort of ).

    If my parents ever end up in a retirement home then I have failed miserably... I probably wouldn't live with them, but I would definitely want to be financially set up to make sure that they have a very comfortable retirement. I've recently had the talk with them that there is no way they are leaving their house to my brother and I. If I we don't have the money to buy it off of them they'll have to get a reverse mortgage and live out their last days without doing whatever the fuck they want.
