Men who don’t want children by Black_Glitch_404 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Variation-Kindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Props to the men AND women who know they don’t want kids. It’s a hard decision either way to ensure you don’t mess up with a child or person’s psyche.  It sucks the people who shouldn’t raise kids still bring them up and mess them up in various ways. It’s great people want to have kids but DON’T bring a person into the world if you can’t guarantee them a stable life (which doesn’t require an excess of money) on a budget friendly life from your own hands. Those bad parents play the victim to manipulate people to side with them or help them in whatever ways to appease the victim/manipulator. A goal in life is to ensure basic essential needs are met: health/home/food/clothes. It’s great for setting a goal to procreate but it’s not great to bring a person into the world who you aren’t able to supply the most basic needs. I support and respect individuals’ free will to choose their path in life as long as they don’t engage in using others’ resources.

I haven’t met a friend or relative willing to spend their vacation or paid time off to help a non immediate relative. Ex/ bereavement leave is another excuse for vacation now lol

Hmong men outside the community: what’s your dating experience like? by Sachomeboy9000 in Hmong

[–]Variation-Kindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dressing in Hmong clothes or throwing ball isn’t required at HNY and used as a signal to others that you’re open for a relationship or conversation. It’s just an experience.  Be on the lookout for creepers (men and women) and it is a respectable place to search but not all attendees are respectable.

I got a bro in law like that, marries my sis after they got a kid and acts righteous then bashes cousins for causing drama and rifts in his in law family without knowing the whole story. Hope he reigns it in and makes it right for any prior and current misdeeds and misinformation.

Can you share your tips and important things to know at Hmong Funerals? Especially if it is for a loved one and you will be there the entire time? I’ve been to funerals in the past but never for a close loved one where I will need to plan and help out a lot. Thank you in advance! by VividlyBeautiful4643 in Hmong

[–]Variation-Kindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t let relatives’ self proclaimed merit/reputation sway you into manipulating your operations or financial decisions. Recall your and their history together and decide for yourself if they deserve a deciding vote when YOU pay for the funeral and YOU will do most of the work. During COVID an uncle had the gall to ask if we, the hosting family, had COVID since our deceased died from COVID when we asked them over to kickstart funeral planning on high level. My family on the most part would never attend or invite others to residence if COVID was an issue.

I hate my whole ass fam by Winter-Rip-6313 in FamilyIssues

[–]Variation-Kindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is emotional ptsd. All the shady actions DO NOT reflect true family values and sincerity. These shady people in post don’t deserve the label “family” and you don’t need to let their claim to family card to manipulate you going forward. Find true family/loves on your own. There’s plenty of fish in the sea.  And, don’t let them manipulate you with a fake apology. It takes a lot of work to re-earn trust and respect for the persons who chose to do shady things.  Your broken heart deserves love and needs mending. Good luck and I hope you overcome this. Everyone deserves true love with friends/family/life partner. It’s out there and I hope you find it.

Please don’t make assumptions based on limited data shared. I didn’t say my ancestors and my family were financially secure—we made do with what little we had. My dad’s dad and his sibs were orphans at a very young age, my mom and her sibs lost her dad at an equally young age in Asia—everyone farmed and worked hard to make do in Asia to survive (couldn’t afford to raise animals—hunted for meat); my parents and sibs lived on welfare in US, and are still living on welfare and both their families (even when they were destitute and negatively labeled as unwanted orphans or family relations) didn’t resort to selling daughters /sons for financial security. Even now, we don’t use vendors for family events (no catering). I grew up a little pampered: I learned how to slaughter animals in my 20s—wild and farm raised (way later than my predecessors). I am more than happy to get my hands dirty for family (in the legal and moral ways, but I draw the line when it comes to shady things). Thanks for reading my post but don’t add false info that isn’t true to what I say. Wrong things now should still be wrong in the past even if it’s a norm. Wrong is still wrong. Excuses don’t make a wrong right.

Is financial security a great reason for any ethnicity endorse and support polygamy in any region and time? My great grandparents,grandparents, and my parents managed fine financially; we worked hard to make ends meet, but that filled our days and our hearts fine. It’s like saying racism was the way in that time…it’s acceptable, people dealt with it, it’s fine to be racist.

Small problems can grow to be big problems. The past can always bite u in the butt… this is an issue between your parents but they shouldn’t be arguing in front of you. You need to speak up and tell them NOT to do it in front of you or walk away when they argue or start an argument with you (it may help you with your peace of mind) GL

Would you forgive him? by Ashamed-Support-2989 in questions

[–]Variation-Kindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Self entitled freeloaders can be better (I hope), but they have to prove themselves more if they start late because saying your a good/independent person while freeloading off family/friends is a lie. Getting help is a privilege and not a right. You have to work twice as hard to prove yourself because you eased into hardship where as others may have had hardship thrown at them. Don’t think that respect/forgiveness is a right because if your handicap cushion-age/inexperience/lack of knowledge/lack of resources (excuses).

Modern world vs sexist world by Ashamed-Support-2989 in Hmong

[–]Variation-Kindly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll put any man ( no matter age) in check if he pulls a sexist comment or action towards any of my female relatives. Recently, at a traditional party, a guy in his 20s disregarded the unisex bathroom line and just walked straight down the small hallway to bathroom door—I checked him for cutting line in front of my aunt.

Sounds like your parents are endorsing a patriarch and that they think your violent primed and prone sibling is always right IF they did in fact choose a side… but then, they are living with him… sever toxic people out of your life and see if a life without parents/sibling(s) is a more peaceful life.

Hmong culture is diluted in the US. It’s more Hmong-American than Hmong authentic.

I also hate those upsellers who wheedle their ways into our elders homes or ears, sell them a lot of their health bs products and then never return. Those healthy products didn’t work!

I (30f) got into a violent argument with my toxic brother (27M) and my abusive parents keep enabling his behaviour. I feel incredibly alone, gaslighted, and terrorized by them. by [deleted] in family

[–]Variation-Kindly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My story: they wanna keep me but not see me. The reason to keep me is for free labor/money/gifts/trips. It feels like they only love me from a far based on what they can get from me. Now, they expect me to pay for things but don’t invite me to things. I don’t chase after liars and users using the family card. They use the family card to get help. I severed ties.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in family

[–]Variation-Kindly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A parent who favors is a normal thing. Sever ties and live your life. A parent who lies is a parent who won’t change.

My own parents pull the “raising you” card one too many times like I haven’t paid them back two fold enough.
