  • @tikigyrl79
    @tikigyrl79 5 месяцев назад +4

    I really want to know if her parents…now knowing she’s “rich”….expect money from her? My Asian parents expect me &my siblings to give them money on a recurring basis…and make negative comments if the amount is too small (in their eyes). Wonder if she has to deal with that and how does she handle it?

    • @trykarat
      @trykarat  5 месяцев назад +4

      That’s hard :( it sounds like your parents really see monetary donation as the main way to express love. I’ve seen a lot of my friends go thru similar experiences

    I am an immigrant mom of 2 kids in the US. even though I didn't come from poverty, I don't think I will ever feel like a belong here. So your parent might be looking over their shoulders because even though they have the blue passports, they don't feel like this is home. so they, like me, might not know where they belong anymore.

    It’s an Asian parents thing, not an immigrant thing. They will go so far as to groom you to be an ‘insurance’ for their old age as Asian kids ‘are supposed’ to take care of their parents.
