To all the Asian PSO'ers out there, are your parents old fashion or not??? I hate it, my mom is such a bitch... She's always telling me what to do, who to date, and now that I'm going to college, she wants me to be a nurse... Being Filipino, she keeps thinking I should be a nurse cause "we're good at it." She hates it when I bring a different girl with a different race to the house. When she leaves, my mom says I'm wasting my time and I should stick with my race... My dad is more mellow... He wants me to do whatever I want, he wants me to date any girl that suites me and he tells me what to do, but he isn't too strict about it... I hate my mom because she does this to me, and gives beef back to my dad for supporting my beliefs... What about your parents???

That must suck Dude. I've never been in a similar experience as my Parents are pretty laid Back. Wish I could think of some advice.
I'm not asian either but I doubt all asian parents are like that? Are they?

No different than certain family members here getting on others for not being with other whites. =

Don't hate your mom because she's old fashioned, thats how she was raised and what she's used to, maybe her parents made it a point to her, and now she's with your dad. Right?

See the good in that, yeah? The best you can do is be tolerant, and hopefully she'll be tolerant in the long run.

I can totally relate.

I'm in College and my parents think I'm too young to date. Then they wonder why I don't tell them anything.

They were raised a lot differently and they are used to their own standards and expect me to be a certain way... I'm generally not.

Most parents-child relationships will be awkward. There usually is a huge age difference, but in a lot of first generation kids case, there are a lot of cultural barriers that are often extremely hard or impossible to avoid.

my mom says if I don't go to college she'll disown me.

My mom is pretty lax compared to a lot of other Asian parents I've seen. Especially now that I'm 26. =D
ABout the only thing she harps on me about is marrying an Asian girl. When I was younger, I was against the idea. I totally dig Asian chicks now, though.

I find people who use AzN tend to be teenagers with no sense of identity.

AzN is the 'asian' spelling of asian
it's one of those AzN-Only things that some people have

kinda like the way African Americans call each other "N*****" and refer to each other as brother

I apologize, as this was aganst the forum rules

Muslims (who originate in Asia (plus other Asian religions apply here for some)) are tight because the more orthodox have extremist views, like all people of the world should be Muslim, and we should all wear long robes, women should be hidden behind veils and if they are married they shouldn't cross their eyes with another man.

....And then there is arranged marriages.

really? hmm, news to me. my grandfather is a muslim cleric and one of the head clerics in his moqsue and he's not like that. he's always been accepting because it's what allah is about. half of my family is muslim. those traits aren't even in the quran and they are more a cultural development rather than a religious muslim view. it's more of a radical muslim fundamentalist. and actually the families mentioned here doesn't sound that bad or old fashioned. i'll take em any day.

parents are always doing the best they can and you have to think of the general mindset and that they are trying to still hold on to cultural values. you can't blame them for thinking that way, it's a different way of thinking.

A male nurse huh??? My parents are totally opposite, they ask me what I want to do and they just give me suggestions. I only heard them mention nurse like once. Since I'm Filipino as well, my parents also tell me who or what kind of person I should date. It seems they want someone who fits theire standards.
