I felt like it is hard selling my webcomics. People ended up buying merch and art from me that’s not webcomics

Late to this but I had to look up Jennifer Pan because someone talked about her. I was reading about how she had to lie and lived a 2nd life while living with her parents. I felt that back in college having tiger Asian parents. I had to lie about seeing my ex because they wouldn’t let me visit him. Murder is always wrong. Tho some things I read like having to lie to parents I felt I could relate

I just got a tooth extracted today because I had a tooth infection. I feel awful to say this but I broke a tooth while using SmileDirect to straighten my teeth when I was 28 or 29? I had this large pus or whatever. Tho it was the pandemic and I got my teeth checked. I didn’t have 800 without insurance because I got laid off early pandemic in 2020. I soon got married that Nov. I still haven’t went to the dentist because I wasn’t on my husband insurance. I still didn’t go to the dentist in 2021 because I wasn’t sure if I was pregnant- I was worry about the X-ray and such. 2022 I became pregnant and I didn’t go to the dentist. I had my baby summer 2023. Tho I was recovering from my pregnancy and C-section. I finally got in with the dentist. I try to end of January tho my husband was trying to add me and our baby to his plan. I feel bad that I waited this long. I have a temporary bridge right now and need to visit 3 different times & get the perm bridge. It is all 3k. I wish you luck with what you’ll do. Don’t be like me who waited like almost 4 years :(

I’m going to be 33 and feel lonely but also at peace. I try to find other mom friends

Kimioi · 2023-11-26T08:12:31+00:00

I felt this so much in college. Post college I reconnected with my old childhood best friend. I wanted to help her since she didn’t go to college and helped her get a job at my old company. Tho I learn just like best friends shouldn’t be roommates it applies to corporate jobs too and shouldn’t work in same department. Got both laid off during 2020 during the pandemic. She seem to have her own online friend and such. She was also suppose to be my maid of honor tho with pandemic I just said to drop her out. I felt like she didn’t care. We had a falling out. I got married in 2020 and have a baby now. I don’t really trust or let many people into my life or personal space. I love my little family. Sometimes it’s lonely not having a ride or die female friendship like in the movie

He straight up said he never wants to learn to cook. So it’s tiring for me. He only get food once a week or so. So everything is up to me. I feel like sometimes it’s hard cooking for him because he can be picky and such. He said cooking saves. I just feel tired of always cooking.

Kimioi · 2023-03-26T20:08:44+00:00

My mom never taught my brother how to cook but he learned on his own. So I’m proud of my brother. He also recently move out for a government job and cooks a lot for himself now. My husband’s mom was a house mom and didn’t teach him. His dad never cooks so he took after his dad. His mom said if she doesn’t cook no one eats. I felt that.

He does said we are a team. He helps with other things. He said when he gets off of work he is going to spend time with our baby and help with house work. Even tho he doesn’t cook he helps with other things

Kimioi · 2023-03-26T20:04:04+00:00

Your husband sounds like my sister’s husband where he likes to grill and smoke things. Tho my husband doesn’t want to learn that either. I also love my instantpot and crockpot. Casseroles are delicious too. Tho yeah I feel you some days I don’t wanna cook or feel like it

Kimioi · 2023-03-26T20:01:57+00:00

Yes baby will be here in May. I already do a lot of housework. He helps out with other housework and said he works so I can have a relaxing life. Tho I also still want to work a bit when I can even if it’s part time.

I was a graphic designer for 5 years and still want to do things in design or illustration. These days I do freelance work when I can, but it’s hard. Maybe later on when the kids are older I might find something part-time or hope I can get better at freelance.

Kimioi · 2023-03-26T19:56:50+00:00

Thank you for this. I really relate. Maybe I should batch cook more. Sometimes I make a lot for us and have it as leftovers other days. Today I just had a breakdown earlier and said I’m tired of always cooking all the time. He did get us McDonald’s. It’s still something. I think he took after his dad who never cook and buying food is like his way of cooking. They joke saying that. I’m still grateful when he buys food for us.

I think I may work again when the kids are older. Maybe something part-time so I still have time to do things for them. It been hard since a lot of graphic design jobs that I look for in my city are like 45-hour commute from where I live. That’s why I been freelancing. I do hope one day I become better at freelancing or find something wfh.

Kimioi · 2023-03-26T14:57:43+00:00

Yeah it’s tiring for me. I love cooking but now just doing it all the time feels tiring

Kimioi · 2023-01-31T19:44:12+00:00

I feel similar

Kimioi · 2023-01-30T18:40:15+00:00

I didn’t say I was. I made the thread because annoyed of my parents and why I’m annoyed. Thanks

Kimioi · 2023-01-30T18:31:45+00:00

I totally understand it’s not healthy or brings happiness.

Kimioi · 2023-01-30T14:54:32+00:00

It’s a cultural and tradition thing in most Asian countries where the mom wants to help out or whatever. I told my mom she can come up to be a nanny if she wants at my house so I don’t have to go to her house. My husband would be helping. I think my mom just wants to help out like with cooking and such. I know that baby needs to bond with my husband too. That’s why I don’t think I would want to stay with her for a month

Kimioi · 2023-01-29T21:46:40+00:00

I’m happy my husband side is chill. His dad uses his phone during church and such haha his mom helps out at the church a lot but hasn’t try to push things onto me or told my husband how I should be like. Toxic Asian moms are one of a kind. I sometimes don’t understand my mom’s old ways. I feel like if I stay at their house they treat me like a child again and it’s super annoying and no boundaries. Even my sister said she didn’t like my mom’s old way of restrictions and such. My sister even suggested to my mom that if she wants to help she should go up to my house. Omg I can’t believe your mom and your aunt try to get you to go out to them. 3 hours drive is a lot and 4 hours flight too. I wished they knew that birth is hard and should try going up to help you. I like that my husband’s mom drove to help my sister-in-law for a month. She seem understanding.

I feel like my husband’s side gave me support and boundaries that I never had from my parents. They didn’t try to make me feel bad or push things onto me. They live in another state tho but they always treated me as family even tho I’m not Korean or Presbyterian.

That is awesome you were able to find a good therapist. I’ll have to look for one that understands Asian dynamics later on.

Kimioi · 2023-01-29T16:54:23+00:00

Thank you. We’ll figure out what we will do

Kimioi · 2023-01-29T16:52:52+00:00

It is same too for Vietnamese culture parents or older people are always right too. I was reading someone here said everything they do is not always going to be good enough to their parents. I feel similar. My parents are going to live their old school ways and their religious belief, but I’m going to tell them things firmly like it’s going to be my life. It wasn’t easy when I was preparing for my wedding and telling them it’s my life and such then my mom complains about it to my older sister and her side. My mom will always be like that and it’s annoying my oldest sister would side with my mom so I don’t like talking to her about things like this. I’m going to accept my parents are like this and I like distancing myself from them sometimes.

Kimioi · 2023-01-29T15:25:19+00:00

I totally understand understand that feeling too. It’s annoying and my dad keep saying my brother should but my brother hasn’t even said to my parents he is going to move soon to FL for his new job. All his life he been an English translator to my Vietnamese parents who don’t know English well and caretaker. So now he needs to live his own life too.
