So I still have to do all the abaya jazz

Rip

Same here, my family definitely isn’t liberal.

Tell me about it

Gulf makes Muslim fams more conservative

Personal experience

Well most of my family are a line of doctors, at first I thought this was from well, people wanting to be doctors, but really it’s actually a trend that is expected from ascendant to descendant.

.-. I want to get into a scientific job, but not become a doctor, so there’s *some* issue there for me and my parents.

I once told my dad I wanted to be a psychologist (my career options are fluid), he pretty much threatened me on the spot -v-

My parents are the only people in gulf, and we got migration in our blood. So the rest of my fam is in America, including my grandparents. And lemme tell you, there is such a fundamental difference between my fam and my immediate cousins and relatives

FUCKING MOOD

We don't have doctor's in immediate fam

But I was expected to be one

“I will control your breathing, your speech and even your life! You are my property and you are my slave”

Cause I was apparently 'smart'

.-. Ah yes, welcome to a “father of the year” world

Rip south Asian fams

Ouf

It's mom of the year for me

Dad is kinda chill

But mom is

Lol let's not even go there

Funnily enough, when I visited my father’s dad, he made a joke about how my dad is a failure at parenting, but very subtly

I still have e to live with her and complete my degree

Ouffff

Grandparents with that shade

“Oh him? *He* is your dad?”
*Nods*
“**Him??**”
*Nods furiously*
“Ah... how disappointing”

Lol

LOL

Dad's mom does that to mom oof

Fucking fam drama I swear

Oh that’s pathetic

I just ignore it mostly

Same

But it is literally shoved in your throat sometimes

Well, tbh for me not all the time

Good for you

I was once at an uncle’s house in Pakistan and well my dad was taking the brunt of it

Uh huh

.-. The uncle and his family, including my dads mother pretty much demanded money from my dad, turned off the AC in a room where me and my sis slept in, left my dad on the balcony to get mosquito bites

It was a good decision my dad cut them off
