^ At least you are actually part Asian, in opposition to the throngs of white kids who dress up in anime lolita costumes and refuse to have non-Asian friends.

My mother ALWAYS repeats questions, and it's frustrating, but hard to get angry because I know she has no control over it.

My mum's a little like that, except she likes to know that a lot of boys will be wherever I'm going.

Me: I'm going out on Saturday. I'll be back about 11, okay?
Her: 11? That's late. Where are you going? Who else is going?
Me: Out. Probably Toby and James will be there... loads of people are going.
Her: James and Toby? Oh that's okay then, I'm sure they'll protect you. Don't smoke anything. Have fun.

 

I find that telling the truth works out in your favour more often than not. People, not just parents, appreciate honesty.

I've heard lots of bad things about azn parents. One of my friends of Chinese descent repeatedly got her head smashed against the wall for failing classes in school because she spent the whole time doodling. She's actually a great artist, wouldn't be surprised if she makes a career of it.

My mum asked lots of questions ('How old is he? What does he do? Where does he live? What does he look like? How long will you be? What about his parents?') when I wanted to go and meet my now boyfriend whilst I was still dating my ex. I tried to cover myself and she just said, "I'm not exactly going to stop you. I'm just interested." She's nosy, but she allows me to continue even if it is, morally, A Bad Thing.

Thankfully she loves Justin (when I told her we were together she clapped her hands and screamed 'goodie!' whilst driving) and didn't really like Tom too much.

That reminds me, a bit offtopic: I invited Justin to a friend's 21st before we were officially together and my mum came with us. I sat and watched like as my friends laughed at the fact my 35yo 'boyfriend' was dancing with my 45yo mum alone on the dancefloor. And not just for one song, but most of the night. They became quite close then and apparently discussed me at length. Oh the shame.

 

Good Gad, that is absolutely horrifying.

I don't care about them being nosy anymore. In the past I would just leave the house when that happens. Good thing I left to college for the dorm life. Party every week without having to worry about anything. If my parents ever dare go through my stuff, they wouldn't hear the end to it.

All you need to do is yell at them or else you'll be in this situation for the rest of your life. After my rebellion age between 14-16, I never had any more issues.

move out - then you dont get nagged and you never argue anymore - its awesome! though I secretly can't wait to move back after uni! but to get away from housemates - lol!! just live alone - much better that way!

Sounds like my parents too. They demand to know everything about my life, yet when I ask them about theirs they just say "Oh, you wouldn't understand" or something like that.
