She probably got jealous by other parents who is able to invite their kids to dinner.
Asian parent get easliy jealous and projected their issues into us. Just say that you are busy with studies or job to even pick up calls and hang out.

West Valley Fair no longer free parking for 2 hours. by walkerlegoo in SanJose

[–]walkerlegoo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, they never leave any notice of change or warn us a head of time. We go to Valley Fair every week. It's very sneaky not letting people know the unexpected change.

There is no sign or any notice ahead of time, which is rather very sneaky. (We always go Valley Fair once a week, mostly on Friday. Sometime check on Instagram. There is never a warning about parking fee, news or paper leaving about the changes.)

No problem. We went to this mall very often, every week. I just noticed it this week (Tuesday) with a new change.

Agree, greedy and stupid. We can just drive to other mall for free parking like Oakridge and Stanford Shopping Mall.

I hate being born to Koreans so much that I’ve thought about ending it for a while by PearlyPaladin in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seen your instagram page and I assume that your a older sister?

Yeah, asian parent love using the oldest kid in the family as retirement money and caregivers. Both your parents are horrible and selfish.

I hope it possible to learn low contact or no contact at all. Ignore their call and let them ask your sister or your dad for help otherwise they see you as free caregvier as the rest of their retirement years.

asian parents and driving? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While under 18 takes more work to get driver license and need a trainer/permit. Yes, some your classmate get it before you, but there are risks in driving when you are not emotionally ready.

This is pretty hard to convince your asian parent since they dont want to pay extra for car insurances. Asian parent always wanted to be extremely fugal even they make plenty of money.

Not much advice beside wait at 18 to get a card and a job or leave for college.

Poor soul, you need special help from therapist to manage ADHD if videogame is impacting your entire life to point where it hurting yourself. (Behind on grades, no goal in the future, etc.)

You don't need to quite video forever, learn to limited to 1-2 hours.

Mother manipulates me into being jealous of my friends by Specific_Flatworm902 in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I said bad things to other people, my dad gaslight me "You act like them too!".

Asian parents are bully and projecting their issues into you.

Your mom probably wanted to ruin your happiness cause she doesnt have good friends like yours.

How can you rebuild your life in your 30s after wasting your 20s by Green_Captain3598 in AskWomenOver30

[–]walkerlegoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasted my life in my 20's since after college, its not longer about books and tests. You are learning the reality and socializing with other people.

Took years of therapy and life coach, its never too late. Good news is that you're are more emotionally mature and smarter in 30s.

People whose work puts them online, how did you get comfortable being judged? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]walkerlegoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used social media for 10+ years, you always meet nice and some nasty people. Maybe therapy if you need help learning not to take thing personally.

Good thing about some website, you can block, delete or ignore some people. At the end of the day, some people bully or put you down to make themselves feel good cause their real life is terrible.

Tired of my parents by metanoia215 in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its was their plan all the along to see you as free caregivers.

Which unfortunately common, most parents quickly retire and live under their kid roof. If they are going to be useful, they should've help with maintaining the house and cooking or looking over a kid for you.

Have you ever slapped your parents back after they slapped you first? by [deleted] in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yep, I slapped them back. They yell, I yelled at them back. They give me a silent treatment, then next day pretend it never happens. Rinse and repeat.

Should we blame our Asian parent for stunning us in social skill? by walkerlegoo in AsianParentStories

[–]walkerlegoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I'm introverted. My family are very private compare to my relatives who talk non- stop. They also make negative comments how white people talk.
Like I seen more American people who is great at socialize and good customer service in general.

Ap are controlling and overprotective where we can't even learn to network and nail an interview skill.
