like i should drink hot water, or not drink coffee

i just politely say no thats ok and keep doing it

she has the eyes of a woman who has never been questioned before

she has good interests in her "forcings", but not all of it is accurate. if i yawn once, GO TAKE A NAP, if i cough once, GO TO HOSPITAL, if i scratch once WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR ARM

she is constantly surveiling to find ways to make her seem like a good person...its exhausting

luckily she isnt as bad as most chinese parents, so im thankful for that

depending on what the herbal treatment

I remember one of their herbal pastes, really had a numbing effect

I had a spinal disc reputure - collapse - bulge w/e, which are extremely painful on its own right

They applied the paste, and it really numbed it for a few days
The black herbal drinks are typically diuretics

=====================
also the controlling mother effect is mostly found among Southern Chinese, most pronounced in fact

Up in the North they honestly don't give a shit about what the kids do or what not

Most of the pregnancy stuff I remember is not showering (usually to prevent infection after giving birth -- like the same after surgery), eating ginger/pork knuckles (warms the heart). It's only taken semi-seriously because maternal deaths were african levels a few generations ago

Also if a mother is like that, her daughter will revert to that given enough years

@kaetaa but the hot water and bullshit medicine is strong in Taiwan, too

Hot water is comfy though.

not when its 36c

not when its 36c

Heats you up and cools you down

Also fruitcake is delicious fuck you

@kaetaa my mom is like that and I'm not a chink

>sneeze >are you sick? go to doctor bagelbaum and get a week off

the worst is if you defy em and it turns out they're right they'll nag you about it "see I told you"

Death before dishonor

fruitcake isn't delicious, the custard that drench it is

also the hot water thing comes from no good water source

Sure that garbage they sell with the candy in it but one made with dried fruit and soaked in rum is amazing

Are those the ones made in England?

Dunno, that's how my family rolls though. Is fruitcake english?

the pregnancy stuff isnt the same in taiwan, sorry thats what i meant mostly

ive never had a good fruit cake

i wish i did it seems good idea

Just make your own. Only way to go.

@kaetaa I mean, it's great for tourists
