jesus. that sounds like my mom. my mom is from ireland and they make them mean. she denies i’m AuDHD and told me today that I don’t notice anything around me while screaming, so it was meant to be insulting. i feel bad for the kids she taught.

Mom: did you see how much Elon Musk have?
Me: did you count how many billionaires?
Mom: yeh, you’re not one because you’re such a failure.
Emotional damage
“You come out when you Doctor!”

Thats why Asian parents are hard to impress .
Proof some women are never happy 😂😂
