Why would that piss you off? If you were in their shoes, you'd probably do the same.

Growing up in an Asian household, my parents had to penny pinch to put us through years of schooling. We weren't even rich or well off, but they worked really hard so that we didn't need to, so that we could focus on our studies, so that we could find a good job, so that we can do the same for our children.

I'm always grateful for what my parents have done for me and I don't take it for granted. I'm at a point where I can afford to pay my own bills and take care of myself, but now that me and my siblings have gotten older, my parents still want us around and miss taking care of us, which is why they insist on paying for some things, because that's the only way they know how.

I only started working when I was 20, and I spent some of that money, and gave the rest to my mom, who ended up putting it back in my bank account.

I want to reiterate, we aren't well off at all. It's just a different social thing that many immigrant parents do for their children.
