This s*** is getting on my nerves

I guess I got lucky with mine

At least be strict and have your s*** together. I’ve never understood how some Caribbeans can be whatless while also having the audacity to be strict

bc they want you to be a success.i'm not Carribbean but i assume it's the same with majority of immigrant parents. Thry left their home country & struggled so their kids can go far in life and make a lotta money

Unfair to their children

every third world parent is strict, comes from strong senses of ethnic tradition and a commitment to "the American dream"

yeah I know bruh. sometimes I feel like my mom only had kids as an investment. looking back on my life I don't think she ever had interest in us beyond what she really wanted us to be. I'm trying to sort s*** out in my head & figure out if I wanna have kids or not. right now it's looking like no

success at the expense of mental stability and consistent comparison aint it

you can relate?

yeah and my mom isnt carribean either lmao

JUST FIGHT YOUR PARENTS

TURN UP ON THEM

F*** IT.

Yeah tbh im lucky my mom wasnt as bad as most immigrant parents when it comes to this, but there still always has been a disproportionate fixation on academic achievement which sometimes makes u feel like that's all they care abt
