My mother is Asian, but sheesh, even SHE wouldn't say stuff like this, nor act like her own child was a parasite. (Then again, Asian parents don't do that).

Despite the fact that she's the reason I hate competitive sports and playing music, she at least has a job, and keeps the house tidy, as well as fixing me meals that she tries to make sure are healthy. She's a decent person deep down, when she's not barking at me. And she has my best interests at hand, and always pesters me to exercise (Something that I should really do more often.). She does compare me to others sadly, but that's out of concern that I won't amount to anything than believing that I won't amount to anything.

She actually has good intentions, and follows through with them, despite her loud mouth.

And part of the reason I put up with her is because my dad makes sure I stay on task, giving me work that helps me get ahead of my peers (enemies). Part of the reason I do good in certain topics is not because I have a higher I.Q., but because I've already been taught that stuff. And if there's a point that mother makes that's actually reasonable, he'll support her in that fact (Exercise).

But your parents Nan.....Ugh. The only word I can think of them to describe them.

All I can say is, that I'm glad that I have a window showing me how others suffer, and why I shouldn't worry about trivial things, and why I should tackle stuff without self-doubt.
