I’m asian, 25, have a PhD in mechanical engineering, a wife, two kids, I make 6 digits per year, and I am taking complete care of my parents alongside my wife and kids.
I’m still a complete failure and an absolute loser compared to my cousin Shazhu who lives in mainland china and makes 3x what I make while owning 5 companies and being a full-time professional hokey player. According to them, he is also able to playing every instrument on one hand because the other hand is busy preparing a michelin-level meal. He’s 17 and already has 60 years work experience because he works 5 accounting jobs at once, in his free time. He also started humbly, unlike me, digging sulfur from indonesian volcanoes, going hphill both ways, on a single leg because the other one was digging for rare earth minerals in africa.
None of this is comment true, my actual cousin in china isn’t some lame idiot, he’s actually succesful in life, like me! (We own 60% of the entire planet each)

Then comes, “Talk to me when you’re married,” “Talk to me when you have grandkids,” “Talk to me when I can retire and move into your house.”
Funny and a bit sad I guess
me: *doesn’t talk to them*
them: *surprised pikachu face*
No no this is wrong. It’s talk to me when you are a doctor and an engineer.
I’m an engineer. My parents never even suggested it.
Frankly, they still only vaguely understand wtf I do .. 34 years later.
this just for asians lmfao
My boyfriend is Indian too
*Middle Eastern and Asian parents enter the chat*
Ohh, your son is *only* a doctor/engineer? That’s cute…

To bad the meme makers parents weren’t pushy enough teach them basic grammar
Without pushy parents, many of us would still be living in their basement.
Remember to thank them for all they have done for you. They won’t be around forever.
