If I was on a Chinese forum, they'd all just side with my mother.

Why couldn't my mother have been a Norweigian? They seem so happy, I'm so fucking jealous.

The worst for me was my dad paid for my first year of rent at university. He kept bringing that up years later for any little thing.

Lol, I was born because my mom violated the One Child Policy (cuz I'm the 2nd child) and my mom keeps telling me about it and the massive fine they have to pay as guilt tripping. She said that I "wasted her so much money the moment I was born" ๐Ÿ˜ญ ... so it's my fault for a stupid government policy? ๐Ÿซ

Ooof, that's bad!

I get the "why are you so western, what's wrong with you, why do you want to do what your friends do instead of what I tell you", erm, well you came over to this country and had kids, we were one of very few Indians or any other minority, where they chose to move to from a fairly diverse area they lived in before just before I was born - yes of course it's my fault completely!
