I used to look up to the people who were older than me: now I don't know what to do. Details necessary? Like, why do all the people a few years younger look like wet noodoos (noodles?) |

I don't think I embarass my mum, but I think I have disappointed her with some of my actions (as all kids do).. I'm ok with my actions, cos its my life to lead, not hers. The problem I have with it is that she then blabs to all her family / friends about what I've done and how bad I am for doing it to get sympathy and attention and drama. Then expects me to go and have dinner with her friends etc when the occaision calls for it. I dunno who is more embarassed.. her friends or me. Cos she certainly isnt and loves the uncomfortableness that ensues when we make little talk about anything except my supposed bad actions. Your mom doesn't seem all that bad Helles (tho clearly only you know).... I've heard of crazy asian mother wrath in far more injurious forms. Does she publicly berate you in front of your friends or other family members? Does she say it with spite? Seems pretty *nudge nudge* kinda behaviour more than anything. Maybe the fact she's blabbing to other friends/family members is precisely b/c she doesn't have as much control over you as most asian mothers do or would want.... and this is her catharsis? As for my situation, I don't embarass my parents. It's the opposite. My mother knows everything there is to know in the world. And even if she was wrong, she was right because that's what she said in the first place.  . There's just no point in even arguing!!!! She also loves dissing filipino traits (e.g., name dropping) and then doing exactly the same thing only minutes later. My father's foibles include a habit for striking up random conversations at the worst possible times and with people who have no interest in talking to him. I'm sure when my mother was screaming in labour in the pediatric ward he saw an intern across the hall with a nice watch and decided to go over and compliment her on it. Another horrible one, his jokes don't have punchlines. Sometimes they don't even get started. We'll be at a big family dinner and he'll blurt out "The funniest thing happened to me at the shopping mall today". Everyone goes silent waiting for the set-up. Then he just starts eating again as if he didn't say anything !!!!!! Now I know where I get my penchant for mind-f*ck. (Ack, negative karma points. I promised I wouldn't slam my parents after leaving home, esp on father's day) |

Both of them get embarassed by me, but both of them embarass me sometimes too.

I can seriously relate to that, every time I do something now I always think what would happen if my mum ends up telling all my relatives. She also shades my good qualities with my bad.....  |

My mum sometimes complains that I must not like being asian-looking and questions why I look white (I think she's just annoyed that I look more like my dad, unlike my brother who looks like her). I say I think I have asian shaped eyes since people tell me that, but she says "nup nup"  but that's her I felt really pathetic in my tour to China since everyone had black hair and our group could pass by beggers and people-who-wanted-to-sell-stuff-like-there's-no-tomorrow, but since I have brown hair, I had "foreigner" written all over me so alot of people came to just me  However I did feel useful in HK when some tourists asked me "Ah, do you speak english? Do you know where...." made me feel special since I stood out and felt a little more connected to them |

well, at the moment neither, because I pretend to agree w/ them on almost everything, but if my father really knew how I felt on some things and I was vocal to others about it...he would be totally embarassed!  |
