1. Before prom, your parents had stern words for your date:

2. On vacations, your parents took photos like this:



You laughed, rolled your eyes, but years later you realize you should've taken more photos of them.

3. They did this at the fruit aisle:

4. And ordered hot water at restaurants.

5. They coached you on starving before a buffet and gorging only on rib eye and lobsters. Seafood-phobes were deadweight in buffet Olympics.

6. When the bill came, older relatives fought, i.e., yelled and screamed in the middle of the restaurant, for the right to pay.

7. Some distant cousin or family friend's son/daughter is always being trotted out as a paragon of perfection that you're falling short of.

8. When you got sick, your parents fed you bitter herbal brews, or sent you to weird bruising traditional treatments:



It didn't actually hurt, but you were always afraid someone would report you to Child Services when you changed for gym.

9. Your mom's always convinced it's too cold without a jacket outside.



And you would never, ever, leave the fan on when you're sleeping.

10. Your relatives stuffed you with awesome food. And they didn't hesitate to comment when your waistline ballooned.



Expert food trolls, those Asian aunts.

11. You ate savory breakfasts littered with jarred pickles. Rice was always involved.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

12. When they visited you, they always crashed on some relative's couch, or kicked you out of your own bed.



They were convinced hotels were a rip-off.

13. The remote control is wrapped in plastic wrap.

14. For a household that was low on luxury, there were a lot of foot massagers, back massagers, massage hammers, and massage accessories.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

15. Your mom put fluffy dried pork into your sandwiches, and your friends said it looked like hair.



Scarred for life.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

16. Your fridge was packed with jars whose labels never matched the food within.



You also saved every jar to store pickled stuff.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

17. You only had bowls. No plates.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

18. The dishwasher was used only as a drying rack.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

19. In the drawers were free napkins, cups, utensils, and mini shampoo bottles your parents hoarded from hotels.



Also shower caps, though no one in your family has ever used one before.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

20. Saturdays, you studied your parents' native tongues. Sundays, you practiced an instrument. Your dad was rad if he let you pick the guitar.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

21. Your friends were always wondering why your parents were arguing. That's just how they speak.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

22. Everyone was your aunt or uncle, but you had no idea if they were actually related to you.



Also your parents called each other Mom and Dad instead of their first names. In fact, you didn't even know adults had first names.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

23. You know what durians smell like.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

24. People always assume that you're related to another Lee/Chung/Nguyen/Hong/Kim that they know.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

25. Nothing will stop your aunts from trying to set you up with royal bores with Ivy League degrees.

"Mom, we have nothing in common." "But she's a doctor from Harvard!"

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

26. Every year, you got money in red envelopes on New Year's.

回复: 27 Signs You Were Raised By Asian Immigrant Parents

27. Finally: Your parents gave you everything they had and spent nothing on themselves. They know firsthand the dangers of the world, and their work isn't done until they see you settled and safe.



Their clothes are 20 years old, but they sent you to college. They may be too stoic to say, "I love you," but you know they do, and you wouldn't change anything! Thanks, Mom and Dad!

楼主辛苦了！

对照一下，有些的确是，有些不是（比如吃自助餐前要饿着，还只吃龙虾啥的，呵呵）。总的来说又有道理又有趣！

的确，自从有了小孩，我们就自动改名叫 爸爸 妈妈了。然后就是一连串的改名，比如外婆，外公，爷爷，奶奶。adult确实是没有名字的：）

cool, be proud of having such a pair of loving mom and dad, though be careful to invade too deep into my little ones' world when they grow up.

这些被亚洲移民父母养大的二代加拿大华人,大多数受过良好教育,十分渴望言谈举止向白人一样文雅,然而其内心缺乏正直平和,在白人面前自卑谄媚,在移民面前又表现出强烈的优越感.这种人做事,既没有西方法治中的原则观念,又没有东方文化中基于道德的自我约束和克制,他们在利益面前体现出来的人性比真正的西方人和真正的东方人都要黑暗的多.
