Am I over reacting?

<p>This is what my parents used to do - they would tell friends, sometimes even strangers, to contact us to get jobs for their kids. They also told their friends to contact my sister if they needed legal assistant. </p>

<p>This was the best, all time story of my parents - they told a friend to stop by to see my brother in HKG when traveling, they did, my brother agreed to meet him for dinner(it was assumed my brother was paying), my brother showed up to a party of 20 people (the friend’s whole tour group). My brother paid for it and it’s just another rents story.</p>

<p>We are Chinese, so we put up a lot with our parents. Luckily we have 4 siblings, so we could share our pain.</p>

<p>They do change–whatever way they are, they get MORE like that as they get older. It’s useless to fight it–acceptance is the only approach.</p>
