Immigrant Parents are the Worst

at least got some who you can have convo with and still on earth 
So desperate to live vicariously through their children and forcing their nonsensical traditions onto them as well.
You gotta break them or they will break you.
I'm dead serious because they will absolutely break you if you let them.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to date someone who has immigrant parents for the very reason you have stated in your OP.
yup
Based on my experience, yup you're speaking the truth

Sadly for us it's a constant battle but eventually there's middle ground.
I start to identify more with my immigrant parents as I grow older. Lowkey they were right about most things at the end of the day.
But then again my parents came to America and Canada as teenagers so I was a lil lucky. No forced trips back to Africa cause we didn't see eye to eye on something
I think once I turned 21 I was like fukk it.
Deadass would walk out on my mom at 11 o'clock and wouldn't pick up my phone until the next day. She knew I was done with her by then
My pops never really cared he just said don't end up in jail or the icu/morgue
I use to hate my immigrant parents when I was younger, but once I hit 28. I saw 90% of the stuff they tried to tell me about that I didn’t listen to... was true.
Your parents have more life experiences than you, a lot of things they say when you’re young doesn’t make sense but you willl realize when you get around 30... why they act the way they do. Appreciate your parents.

This is true regardless of citizen status, like my moms always told me when i was doing my own thing, "i turned that corner before you". I wouldnt let her dominate my mindset cuz she wws tryna install fears in me i genuinely didnt have which would hinder my growth as a young man but i did take heed to the overall msg/lesson she had for me.

Immigrant parents are your worst nightmare but until you reach your 20s, you realize they have struggled a lot for you especially how much care they put into you and your life. Imagine having a parent who lets you wander out at night and not giving a shyt about your homework/activities/no discipline.

I was practically on lockdown from the the time I was born until 21. That's when I started breaking away from them. I was either school or home. They do live vicariously through my academic success. Anything less than A was not accepted....with that said, at 28, I am glad they were that way with me when it comes to taking academic seriously BUT socially I had lots to work on in my early 20s.
I'm appreciative of everything they did for me.
This is 100% true and not necessarily a bad thing. Gotta earn respect

Nobody is saying that their overall intentions are bad per se, its that their methods and the degrees they go to is frequently extreme and biased. like i said, they are trying to live vicariously through u a lot of times.
