My mother did the "why aren't you like your cousins" to me when I was growing up. I found out later that my aunt (the mother of those cousins) did the same thing to her daughters about me. So there was this hidden "why can't you be like your cousins" feedback loop between the three of us.

Apparently my parents transitioned from asian to western as I grew up.

As the son of a Western father and Asian mother I am continually confused.

I got both the "oh we love you" and "18 your moving out" until my sister moved and now my parents are like "hey you can stay however long you want, we aren't going to make it so you don't want to leave we're just gonna pressure you to stay"

Fr😂, I wanted to move out as i got job(1st job) which is way far from my home. But guess what, my parents purchased a 3bhk house near my work place😂

When you’re Eastern European, it’s both at the same time

[kismetcapitan]

my Korean-American approach: shower with positive support and love, then let my kids live at home forever.

Currently in LONDON gearing up for shows THIS WEEK 🥰 Would love to see you there!

THAT'S EXACTLY MY PARENTS- They keep changing their mind

[Bobby-wnyr]

Holy crap as a mixed couple this is so fucking accurate 😂

I still think my inlaws plan for use when we got married was we live with them until they were old enough to live with us, meanwhile my parents Reno’d my room the second week I was at uni 🤣

Gotta say I came around to the Asian way over the years.

[robinenbernhard]

Love jenny face when west parent say she need get out the hous 😂

[KpopStan-TMF]

For real the Asian parents always turn tables during the teen years for me it was even mentioning college: “why do you want to leave?”😂

In my experience it's like being thrown out, but... you finish school and either go to university or start a job. Most likely in a different city, so you move out, because it's more convenient. Many go back to their parents for the weekends and so on.
On the other hand... if you approach 30 and are still living with your parents, that might be frowned upon xD at least that's my experience here in Germany.

[despicablepenguin]

So true. I'm still being guilt tripped for moving out

[Wernychora]

My mother was missing link betwen west and east. Always insulting me because im wasnt best in everything, ordered me to go out from house when im become adult, and then when i sued her alimony started to complain in council that i moved from her house and i left her xd

And what is important all my family is polish.

Growing up in a mixed family its was a weird combination of the two to be frank 😂

[FantasyAlwaysWins]

And when they (parents) get older
It's one of two things
You either send them to a home to get assist (voluntary or demanding)
Or you are now the care taker imposing the rules they gave you as a child
Ex. No more screen time for you.

Though to be fair. As a white Aussie growing up in regional Queensland, there was just this culture that once you turned 18 you were LEGALLY ALLOWED to move out and be independent, have your own house with your own rules, pay your own way, figure out how to survive. It was exciting. It meant you were now able to truly become an adult. My parents were always there to give advice and support, but I and everyone I knew WANTED to move out at 18. It meant freedom. I don’t know many people at all who were kicked out by their parents. I mean … I’ve heard of it happening, but personally never seen it in my community.

MY MOM IS LITERALLY THE WESTERN ONE😭😭😭
