<p>QUOTE “Also, sometimes they are a little “heartless”, but they still “love” us.
They yell a lot. When you don’t know how to do something,forget something, do something wrong, they will begin telling their life story and how they struggled to get to America and how your future will be a total failure unless you do it right or follow their directions. Much more strict than average parents.
I.E: just woke up out of bed this morning and they are complaining about my future and how if I don’t “learn” to comb my hair I will never amount to anything (which apparently is their favorite catchphrase: if I don’t “learn” to _________ you will never amount to anything and “WORK MINIMUM WAGE REST YOUR LIFE”)
Anyway those are my two cents.”</p>
