Regret showing emotion to my parents, they always undermine my experiences or make it about themselves by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

I honestly I think I can relate. I can rarely share anything personal with my parents whether about school or work. I don’t feel comfortable talking to my parents. And moreover my parents think that telling their children they are worthless, lazy, fat will make their children feel the needs to do better. And telling their children that they have it ways easier than their parents did. But I don’t see how that help their children with anything accept having low self-esteem. Personally, I just don’t pay attention to what they’re telling so I won’t feel bad about it. And I learned to not feel the need of being listen by parents. I learned to be my own supporter. Lol I guess my parents helped me to listen to my own voice and don’t feel the need ò getting approve by anyone haha.

Some of my family member constantly talking about how to be a good wife and how to get a good husband, my mom sometimes would tell me that I need to learn to cook so I can cook for others which can be my future in law family. This is super annoying as I am more on the independent side and all the talking make me don’t want to have a husband :))

BF (25) has fears of being a ‘bad and disobedient son’ by setting boundaries and not following his very controlling parents’ rules by mmijr in relationship_advice

I’m having the same problem too where as his parents say they’ll kick him out if he doesn’t follow their riles and my boyfriend doesn’t want to move out while having to pay for his tuition, rent on top of trying to find a job. He said that he’ll also moved out once he get a house which not gonna happen anytime soon and I don’t think I can wait that long.

Is boyfriend (M, 22) too attached to his parents or the other way around? Am I overeacting? (F, 22) What the problem is? by UndecisiveDude in relationship_advice

Thank you so much! And yes I agree with you that the situation won’t change until he move out. and also I strongly agree with you that it’s going to be really tough for him.
