soooo real, when i was 18 my parents thought me staying out at 10 was late and they know i don’t party/drink/etc or date anyone but my brother can do whatever the fuck he wants when he was younger?? pissed me off bro
I told him stories about my white British friends younger sister who dropped out of school at age 13, got pregnant at 15 and had a kid and didn’t complete her GCSEs and showed him my friends liquor cabinet which had 37 full bottles and 12 almost empty ones. Me staying in my room most of the time and going out with friends once in a while or staying over at my bfs house is nowhere near any of those issues and I’m vocally childfree with an iud. I’m the least problematic 20 something year old he knows and that’s including him if his fun story about getting crabs medication at the pharmacy is anything to go by lol just embarrass them back and let them know that they still get bragging rights to all their parent friends and get to let everyone know that their child is still a success even if they come home the next day.
I told my dad that as long as I’m paying rent, I’m not living under his rules. I’ll respect him and give him the courtesy of letting him know what’s going on but I won’t abide by curfews and nonsense when I’m an adult woman. It took him a while to get it but he understands now that he’s wayyy out of line considering he wasn’t like this to his son from his first marriage and that men can father more children in 9 months than a woman can birth so the focus shouldn’t be on young women but on young men. Also she’s had a bf before. He should know the deal. Btw I’m African and Latin and grew up in a Muslim household so while it may not be Asian, it’s pretty much the exact same thing and my dad was born in the 50s so…
