@ 1st bold.........Every generation will have a gap with the next one...we need to learn how to deal with it.........you need to learn how to grow up.........have a couple of nice convo with your parents and tell them....you're an adult......you need some personal space........you should have done that by now........initially they'll be traumatized I guess.....but later on, they will get used to......you don't need the approval to do something you like..........
2nd bold.........as said that before I needed a mentor like your dad to size me up.......... I find it utterly hilarious...... will explain later.......someone needs me to explain her more complicated stuff now.🤣
So your family has a dating app?...........Please don't link your experiences with your parents' ones......every relationship is very different............from your writing I can see.... you're getting contradictory signals.......from them.....to get married to someone you need to get in touch...to know someone........long process...if your parents are concerned you're writing a romantic story even still now........I'm confused......at a certain point...you need to take charge of your life..........your parents won't be there always.......
It's hard to explain...asking for personal space translates to "I don't want anything to do with you" to them...I really don't want to make my parents upset and make them feel like that I'm ungrateful after all the sacrifices they have made for me. Another thing is that my younger sister is very obedient so when I do rebel...they always ask why are you like this?
Would love to hear your funny story 😆
No, my family doesn't have a dating app 😆 in arranged marriages, you find people through your network of friends and family and people get "recommended" for each other. I guess my parents are confused therefore I am confused. I am their first kid aka "test kid" and no matter how many years they live here, it will always be a foreign land to them. They are afraid of me losing my culture and leaving behind my identity so even they don't know what they expect from me when it comes to dating/marriage
I do things I like that my parents might not approve of but I never tell them. Tbh it doesn't matter too much since I barely ever live at home. But, since they call me a lot, they usually know what I'm doing. TBH I don't do anything crazy or illegal 😆 It's simple things like writing stories, going on late night drives, drinking wine sometimes
