Aurelio Miranda Yes I'm sure, Aurelio - I live in Spain. I'm one of only four people in my village who isn't a native Extremeño. I've been told by several people.that I'll get sick if I don't put some shoes on. Maybe it's a regional variation in customs?
They don't give permission to go to places even if you're 18 or older. They say: "mientas vivas en mi casa y no te mantengas sola se hace lo que yo digo". You still have to ask them for permission when you're already legal.
True that, I’m married now for theee years. I honestly remember looking at my husband driving away from the wedding telling him “we are married, we don’t have to ask our parents for permission anymore or when we will come back home late or not.... this feels weird.”
I'm a 23 year old latina who has been in exchange to Netherlands and still, when I said "the neighbours are smoking way too much, smells like crazy over there" my mom looked at me dead in the eye, scandalized, and said "HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW WEED SMELLS LIKE?!?!" Mom, i lived in the Netherlands. In an international student house.
PolliitoAle happened the same to me! Lol When I told my mom I was going to live in Amsterdam, she almost had a heart attack haha WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THE SIN CITY!!
PolliitoAle Lmao!! Or when you want to ask your parents a questions about sex or bodily processes, and they ask: HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEX IS OR WHAT A PENIS LOOKS LIKE???! Umm....sex education? lol
Swan Queen lmao the sin city!!! xD I found Amsterdam to be surprisingly chill. Unless you were a tourist in the red lights district, it was all cool and very safe in my opinion. And I went twice to the RLD alone at night to walk around and only once some dumbass tourists made comments. I stayed in some guy's couch (couchsourfing) and almost all the profiles I read were like "please don't smoke weed in my house" xD
If your Latina mama tells you that something bad will happen if you go out, there's a hundred percent of chance to happen. And never get out of home without a coat, or the prophesies of rain and cold will became true.
Yup! Mom's know what's up. Or when I woke up with a feeling that I didn't want to go somewhere or everything went wrong, "quedate en casa que eso es que algo va a pasar"
As a latina remember once when i was twelve my friends where having a sleepover and of course i knew my patents would never let me go to sleepovers. When I told her I couldnd go because my parents didnt let me she sayed: "Why dont you just ask?" I stood there paralysed with the thought of my mom yelling "QUE PARTE DE QUE NO PUEDES DORMIR EN CASA AJENA NO ENTIENDES?!"
So latino, but i like that, i don't know if that makes me senseless but i think discipline is important and "white people" is treated like garbage and they wonder ¿why my kids hate me? ¿why do they treat me so bad? but is not even close to hate, they give EVERYTHING to their child's ¿how could they hate them? it's just disrespect. Sorry if my English is bad, i am latina latina, i live in Venezuela so i don't know that much English hehe
+Eliza Hernández Exacto, a mi me coñasiaron que jode de coñito y lo agradezco, la disciplina es necesaria, claro, sin llegar a exagerar y sin herir por supuesto, pero de ves en cuando lo que se necesita para recapacitar (o por lo menos para respetar) es un buen coñazo.
Jajaja español, gracias gracias. Pues si también hay padres que exageran conviritiendo el "castigo" en sólo daño físico creyendo que eso es automáticamente disciplina, ese es otro extremo pero que choca un muchacho groserooo que nunca le han dado para que sea serio jeje
+Eliza Hernández If talking back simply means questioning, then I hope you never have kids. Idiots that teach their kids that questioning is a bad is the reason for most of the stupidity in this world.
So, I'm a third generation Latino, so I never experienced things like not going to a friend's house or having to stay home, mostly because my mom dealt with it and she didn t want to raise me to feel like I had to be dishonest in order to be a teenager. HOWEVER, you can bet your ass that the day I was born, my abuela presented my mother with a wooden spoon. A spoon passed through six generations used to make rice and smack the children. It's a nice spoon though, it really is handy.
First generation Colombian, my mom belive that people just learn fucking all around and getting as smashed and wrecked in the process as possible. So when i come back to home crying and whit a lot of problems behind me, she litteraly kick my ass while say "didn't i tell you this would happend you little shit head? didn't i tell you?" or in spanish "NO SE LO HA-BÍ-A DI-CHO MA-RI-CON-SI-TO? NO LE DI-JE?" once she finish she help me to put all together again.
+Onlylettuce92 soo true! When I turned 18 my father was like "Well, now you are old enough to go to sleepovers, but only to those your GIRL friends organize."; I just looked at him like "are you serious?". By that time I was already in college, drove around wherever I wanted, even had my own credit card, and took care of my sisters. I couldn't believe it, still don't.
I will never understand how parents will let their daughters' boyfriends "spend the night"... When you're Hispanic/ Latino the idea of you having a boyfriend is basically a death sentence
I'm 23. My father still refers to my bf as 'my friend'. "And I'm not allowed to stay at his house overnight and he can't stay in my room" . (I have a separate apartment but mum still rules in my house)
For my dad, having a boyfriend is basically the reason why you fail in everything you attempt in life: "Oh, so your friend failed for the first time in some minor test, it must be because of that boyfriend"
"-Mira, your friend fulanita always wash the dishes! -I'm not her, I do a lot other things -She do a lot other things too, and help in the house!" But, if you want to go out... "-Mom, can I go to a party in two months? -No. -But, fulanita parents let her go! -I don't care what she do, she's not you."
if me and my mom were at the local laundromat washing our clothes and she saw girls younger than me helping fold clothes she would point to them and say "see? they're younger than u and they still help out their mother" even if I had been helping for an hour or more 😂
Yelaah Nikole True, I used to hate when she compared me to other girls at my school or my sisters. (Their both slackers) Then when I reminded her about it when she used to do it, she denied ever saying it. (Mom, you're one step closer to becoming Nana...... I would get in so much trouble if I said that to her, she absolutely loathes her Mom.) And my Mom knows what it's like to get compared to someone (For instance, my single and divorced Mom who had to move in to her Mom's house with us gets compared to her married and successful older sister. Then I wonder, if she hates being compared to someone, why does she do that to me at times? (My Mom is way different than most Hispanic Moms, though she shelters me from the outside world but she's never hit me before.
Even when I'm gonna go hang out for a few hours or get a ride from someone I have to give a full list of who and who is going, who their parents are, how old they are and if they have a DL. I'm 23 and they still do this XD
Walk without pantouflas or chancletas in the house because somehow you are gonna be sick or... terribly sick. Talk back to your parents or call them by their first names or try run away/cry when your getting your ass whoop.
for colombians its named the course of the "sereno" an strange aetherious and omnipresent entity whit both mortal and healing caracteristics, that acts through his minion "el chiflón" that causes pains in different parts of the body or flu
you flinch... my 65 year old mother hit my 46 year-old brother with a wet mapo the other day and yell at him "i can still kill you" the rest of us was heyy she still have it.
+REVALG never piss off a latino mother, I still haven't forgotten when my mom wanted to beat me up with a broom for disrespecting her...seriously I am 30 years old and my mother yell at me on that day "aunquesas Viejo y gordo no te creas que yo no te pueda partirte la cara!!" she can be very scary sometimes, but I love her though :D
I successfully sneaked out once and even took the car out of the garage. When I got back I reset the miles, and carefully parked the car the same way it was, everything was aligned perfectly. I still got caught when my dad touched the car and felt it was warm :(
talk back to my mother. I am 22 years old, 6ft tall and 200 lbs and if I so much as mumble under my breath my mom, 4'9 ft, 160 lbs, will smack the ever living shit out of my face. thank God I am faster now
I'm also 22 and still flinch when my mom calls me on the phone by my full name,cuz if I heard my full name when I was younger,I knew I was in trouble :P
My mom never let me ask for water or go to the restroom when we were visiting friends. She would look at us with this death stare and say "si les pides algo, ya vas a ver cuando regresamos a casa." :X
Hahaha I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons because my dad thought Bart was a bad influence. But I was allowed to watch anything Schwarzenegger was in.
that's like : -"tell me why you did that, what were you thinking?!!" -"mom, I just..." -"shut up!! don't talk me back!!" hahaha in Mexico that happens all the time
my mom growing up wouldnt let us go to friends house let alone any sleep overs or stay up late.Not even bring friends over unless she knew the parents.
Oh thank God I thought I was the only one who was so sheltered growing up. My mom is Mexican and believe me I couldn't get away with SHIT. I wasn't allowed to freely go on TH-cam (or most of the internet) until I was 15-16. She wouldn't let me go out for walks in broad daylight (Yeah so good luck pulling that "leave a note" bullshit in the middle of the night) and if I wanted to hang out with some of my friends just in the neighborhood, you better believe I had to tell her EXACTLY where I was. And I mean EXACTLY. I never understood how kids were able to sneak out either (if I so much as coughed in the middle of the night she was in my room), or hang out with boys long enough to have as many pregnancy scares as my white friends did. I'm 20 now and I still get flak for staying out late (I live at home while attending a nearby university) but hey I wouldn't trade it for anything because I can literally smell the Thanksgiving pozole and hominy being cooked as I type.
Alyssa,Lol this happened to me too :) and my parents are Colombian so if I didn't tell her where I was,oh my God I knew 'la chancleta' was waiting for me
+Natalie Valle I know what you mean. My best friend lived in the building directly across from us, on the same floor, with their balcony facing ours! Sleeping over? I couldn't even go hang out at her apartment without my mom coming with me for the entire time I was there.
yes literally so did my friend! I could yell to her from my balcony and she could hear and see me lol. and yea exactly, I had to take my backpack to her house just so it could look like we had schoolwork to do
The story of my life! My mother wouldn't let me go on sleepovers not because she didn't trust my friends' parents but she was mortified that I'd misbehave or do something stupid in someone else's home and it'd reflect poorly on her! I wasn't a bad kid, I was a pretty relaxed kid but she didn't want to risk it lol
My mom would "never sink low enough" to order fast food 😂😂 i would only get Burger king or Wendy's maybe twice a year because "tenemos frijoles en la casa" plus she was looking out for our health. But I love hockey, I'm like the only person in my family who likes a sport other than soccer 😂😂😂
If they took us out if was only the burger and that's it....no fries or coke......Tenemos cocas en la casa y las papas engordan.......I didn't even know you could change up the burger.... I would get the cheeseburger and hated the mustered😝 and still ate it...because we couldn't complain
"Que KFC si eso es pura grasa!" or the typical "si tanto quieres papas en la casa hay para que frías." Latina moms were born to be fast food's nemesis, IT'S IN THEIR GENES
+FLAMA So I moved to the states from Puerto Rico when I was 27, so the list doesn't resonate as much with me (as in, I didn't get to do the same stuff all my friends didn't get to do either) that being said - when I moved here I was also mystified by Arby's, and why my then girlfriend liked it so much. I tried it, tried a roastbeef cheddar. It was a nope for me. It's been six years, I still don't get it. #chancletabiónicaneverforget
I'm a latino in Latin-America. It's really funny how these everyday things are "uncommon" for someone else. Like, me, my classmates, my neighbours... everyone I know grew up with a fear for chanclas, raging mothers and very overprotective pseusospies parents.
Starchelle lol, same, I wasn’t allowed to watch Spongebob. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wasn’t an issue, but if my mother caught me watching Spongebob I’d get yelled at
Skyler Seymour Trust me when i say, for Latinos that does not work... seriously my mother hears me open my door, or go get water at night and she wakes up.
Jajajajaja the note, sure my mother would allow me to leave anywhere without asking before, and telling exactly with whome, where, when, how I was going anywhere.
Me: mama, can I go to a party? Mama: no Me: mamiiiiii, why not? Mama: because Me: but give me one reason for not going Mama: becAUSE I'M YOUR MOTHER AND I SAY SO Me: but all my friends are going Mama: if all you friends jump off a cliff, would you do it too? Me *under my breath* yes, I would do it Mama: WHAT DID YOU SAY, PENDEJA *grabs the chancla* Me:NOTHING MAMI Mama: that's what I thought Me: *leaving* *murmuring curses* Mama: *SOMEHOW GETS TO HEAR ME AND THROW ME THE CHANCLA EVEN THO WE ARE NIT IN H SAME ROOM AND GETS TI HIT ME * Me: *killed for pendeja*
My mom when family or her friends came to visit, I had to act like the best angel of heaven, if I slightly mess up... she would clear her throat and I already knew I fucked up...
Am I the only one who wondered why sleepovers wasn't on the list? Me: Mami! Me invitaron a dormir a la casa de mi amiga! Mami: ¿Y tú de verdad piensas que vas a ir? Me for the rest of the month: 😡😭😤
+Diana Chicas IT ALMOST WAS! Had to cut for time, but believe me I had zero sleepovers. My mom would be like "yo no conozco a esos padres" and there was no arguing.
+Gabe G Yesss! And then everyone who did go would go on and on about how fun it was! That's why every time someone would say their having a sleepover, I would always think "oh shit here we go again!"
En eso si mi mama no es tan latina, jaja! Amaba ir a dormir a la casa de mis primos y de mis amigas y que vinieran a dormir tambien :) Quizas Paraguay no es taaan latino en eso?
FOR REAL. Haitian parents. I didn't get to go to the movie theater till I was 17. You should also mention how deeply religious alot of Latin American parents can be. You couldn't get out of going to church.
I'm latina and my mom and dad aren't super duper sheltering but they are really emotion-driven people like most latinos and like to talk some sense into me and luckily it has worked. Partly raised in Orlando too, Puerto Ricans are everywhere with their l's instead of r's!!!
The British rock bands thing! My parents were all about José Alfredo Jiménez, Los Bukis, Vicente Fernández and Juan Gabriel so that's who I grew up listening to. Also, sleepovers were a big ol' no most of the time. Friends could come, but I could never go.
I couldn't wear what I wanted, or listen to explicit music. Since my favorite genres were hip hop and metal, you bet your ass I literally had to listen to it in secret. Now I have bleached hair and tattoos so...
This so applies to African Americans as well! This was my life as a child. And, I have essentially become my parents. My son is always amazed by my hearing and my aim.
I didn't have to sneak out. My mom's a zombie when she's asleep so I would go up to her while she was asleep and be like, "Mami, Omar and Joey are here and we're going to get food." It's midnight on a school night. She'd say 'okay' and tell me to grab money from her purse. The next morning she didn't even remember.
but im pretty grateful for it because im on a pretty good road right know. Im not a bad kid and dont do drugs and im not super religous but like in the middle
Jazzlee's fun world its not that bad im used to to it people who aren't used to it think we are isolated like no im just very devoted to god andy parents dont want to me to pregnant right know 😁
pretty sure this is a poor immigrant thing: I'm from an asian immigrant family and they did the exact same thing. no sleepovers, no parties, no concerts, no eating out without constant updates, etc. ugh. even now living at home as a legal adult in her mid 20s, they will harass me into staying at home past dark.
I thought I was the only person that did not know a lot about drugs from my mom or anybody at home, I actually didn't know marihuana even existed until I moved to the USA in 2010.
i feel like i was too sheltered lol my curfew was 6pm and i wasn't allowed to travel my friends had to come to me and then they would try to convince my friends to stay and hang out at the house and now that im older i dont know what to do with my life because im so use to not being allowed outside
Colombian here and didn't know how weed looks like until I was 24 and I know my country is known because of cocaine but I don't know how cocaine looks like. and the only sleepover I ever had was with my husband when I started living with him at 26.
Exactly. We know the consequences: this horrible war that's been hitting our country for the past 50 or more years. But hey, haven't tried it and don't want to.
Right on point ladies. Funny fact is that less than 1% of Colombia's population consumes cocaine. First consumers are the citizens of United States, same with weed.
no joke but growing up i was always in awe of all the trendy stuff and name brand stuff the peeps at my school had. and when i say name brand, i mean they had boxed cereal like fruit loops, and i had frootie tooties
I'm a Latino boy who grew up in Wilmington California (it's like the Mexican equivalent of Compton) so this video related to me on a fuckin spiritual level lmfao but since everyone I knew growing up was Mexican as well I didn't know a majority of stuff from this vid until I started talking to white people
Ever notice that puerto ricans are ready to get te kids out of their house as soon as they hit 18 but no other latinos do that..everyone in my family "left" home young including myself(at 19) and all the other Puerto ricans I know left home early too,but everyone I else talk tos family wont even entertian the idea.
The sneaking out thing is soooo damn true. And to back up my parents' super sonic hearing they have: A gate to get to the rooms, an alarm that sounds whenever you open a door that leads outside, cameras EVERYWHERE, gates surrounding the whole house, dogs that bark REALLY loudly all around the neighborhood, windows that are too small to get out from, and if that wasn't enough, the vecinos averiguaos who know EVERYTHING that's happening in the neighborhood at every second. I'm truly blessed.
My white aunt in an effort to Americanize me took me to Arby's. It wasn't great but they have like stuffed jalapeños and this really good mint shake thing. Oh and when you leave you're supposed to ring this bell weird
I've been in there once and out of all my experiences in fast food, this was the worst. my bros, my dad and I were literally the only Mexicans in there and all the white people in there were giving us all these bad stares.
My Latino mom: Shes Christian so she doesnt like me to listen to Led Zep or any Rock & Roll because its satanic. She worries when im not home 1 minute after i said i would. She will use the chancla if you dont listen. Weed is worst than alcohol (haha) because its illegal and is a taboo for her. She will not give you money if you dont clean.
Why you guys assume that all latinos are the same?? I'm latino and any of this applies to me... I'm Uruguayan btw... I smoked pot in highschool, listen to led zeppelin, etc.
yeah.... I didn't do drugs because my parents would kick my ass and I would never again see the light of day. I'm 22 and I can't even drink anything alcoholic in front of them. That's how strict Latino parents are
i mean he's not bad, but when moms like it you hear his song EVERY DAY starting at 8 am when she starts cleaning the house, repeating every song over and over again. Latina moms love him
In the early 80's, my buddy Jesse was living in Barrio Logan with his mom and his abuela and his sisters. One weekend his mom and sisters went to Mexico for some family stuff, and grandma stayed home in San Diego with Jesse. Now, abuela was an india, from way back in the hills, so much so that Castellano was her *second* language. Saturday night very late Jesse comes home wasted to the bone, with a big bag of some killer sinse. Sunday morning he wakes up, and feels the need for a leño. But he can't find the weed anywhere. After about an hour of frantic searching, he finally asks abuela discreetly if he "brought anything home last night", and she begins thanking him profusely and telling him what a good boy he is, and how her bones feel *so* much better. It seems she ground it up, mixed it with alcohol, and rubbed it on her joints to help with her arthritis. On the up side, abuela was very pleased with him and fixed him a wonderful breakfast.
I'm Puertorican and my 5 foot granny chased me around the house with a flip flop every time i misbehaved and if she couldn't catch me...she threw the flip flop and it always hit me.
The pure true about sneaking out. I have done it now, but I am so paranoid and cautious when I leave. I take like 15-20 minutes to make sure I am quite. He is right about the super-hearing.
um, many radio stations in Latinamerica actually transmits music in English alongside Spanish on a regular basis. There is even a category called "Rock en Español" with great bands like Maná, La Ley, Elefante, Maldita Vecindad....whose songs play before of after Aerosmith, Rolling Stongs, Nirvana....
tony guagliardo same but I dyed my hair read and got an industrial piercing and I hid the piercing with my long hair that I’m not aloud to cut till I’m 18 and the read hair....I took the beating
+Onlylettuce92 most latin american countries had dictatorships and those regimes are dangerous as you don't have rights. So overprotection is a must if you want your family to survive, and the overprotective tradition remains.
+sunshine7018c thats not even true -.- I agree that some latin american countries are very dangerous thats why they are more overprotective. Im talking about countries like Venezuela and most of central america.
+Onlylettuce92 its very culture specific, latin america has a collectivistic culture (latin america, china, etc), unlike western culture: i.e. canada, australia, USA, which are individualistic cultures. It has a lot to do with economy, culture, tradition, and yes even evolution. Since western culture are 1st world countries they teach their children to be their own individuals from an early age. They don't have to worry about the same things that 3rd world countries have worry about. 3rd world countries "collectivistic" , the word says it, they have closer families to thrive, for protection, an individual from that family represents the entire family's last name. Basically western culture cares more about the "self" and collectivists care about the "ingroup"
Omg! I relate to everything! I even live in Florida, only 45min away from Orlando! I learned most from kids at school about drugs and other stuff I shouldn't know, I can't go to sleep overs, and can't seek out, even though I wouldn't probably ever sneak out. BTW I'm Mexican.
Whenever I want to go to a new friends house my mom asks soooooo many questions “Do they have any brothers?” “Is their dad home?” “Uncles?” “Cousins” “what are you gunna do?” “Any other people gunna be there?” “How old is their siblings? “ blah blah blah...😂😂😂
when i moved to the suburb's i realized this....for me what hit me was things like: Camping, mini golf, golf, jet skiing, vacations, road trips and much much more. lol
A latino child cannot run around barefoot, they might catch a cold. LOL
RIGHT OMFG😂😂😂
to true loolll
My Spanish neighbours make a big deal of me going barefoot in the house - and I'm 60 years old!
Lol for me its youre toes will get stuby and youre feet will get wider i think it may be true actually😂😂😂
Aurelio Miranda
Yes I'm sure, Aurelio - I live in Spain. I'm one of only four people in my village who isn't a native Extremeño. I've been told by several people.that I'll get sick if I don't put some shoes on. Maybe it's a regional variation in customs?
Never let you sleep at your friends houses... but they can sleep at yours... I don't understand!!!
Jill N. My parents only at my cousin house sleepover never freinds

Walking barefoot around my house is apparently illegal...
CowBlocks same
AMEN 😩 my mom says it's against the laws of my house😬😂

Same
CowBlocks same lol

They don't give permission to go to places even if you're 18 or older. They say: "mientas vivas en mi casa y no te mantengas sola se hace lo que yo digo". You still have to ask them for permission when you're already legal.
oh yes
my life right now 😅😅😅
the most relatable one
True that, I’m married now for theee years. I honestly remember looking at my husband driving away from the wedding telling him “we are married, we don’t have to ask our parents for permission anymore or when we will come back home late or not.... this feels weird.”
My aunt is 22 she has dtobask permission still
I'm a 23 year old latina who has been in exchange to Netherlands and still, when I said "the neighbours are smoking way too much, smells like crazy over there" my mom looked at me dead in the eye, scandalized, and said "HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW WEED SMELLS LIKE?!?!"
Mom, i lived in the Netherlands. In an international student house.
PolliitoAle happened the same to me! Lol When I told my mom I was going to live in Amsterdam, she almost had a heart attack haha WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THE SIN CITY!!
PolliitoAle Lmao!! Or when you want to ask your parents a questions about sex or bodily processes, and they ask: HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT SEX IS OR WHAT A PENIS LOOKS LIKE???!
Umm....sex education? lol
Swan Queen lmao the sin city!!! xD I found Amsterdam to be surprisingly chill. Unless you were a tourist in the red lights district, it was all cool and very safe in my opinion. And I went twice to the RLD alone at night to walk around and only once some dumbass tourists made comments. I stayed in some guy's couch (couchsourfing) and almost all the profiles I read were like "please don't smoke weed in my house" xD
If your Latina mama tells you that something bad will happen if you go out, there's a hundred percent of chance to happen. And never get out of home without a coat, or the prophesies of rain and cold will became true.
Ikr
😂😂
FACTZ my god
Yup! Mom's know what's up. Or when I woke up with a feeling that I didn't want to go somewhere or everything went wrong, "quedate en casa que eso es que algo va a pasar"
Lucas Rodmo yassss
As a latina remember once when i was twelve my friends where having a sleepover and of course i knew my patents would never let me go to sleepovers. When I told her I couldnd go because my parents didnt let me she sayed: "Why dont you just ask?" I stood there paralysed with the thought of my mom yelling "QUE PARTE DE QUE NO PUEDES DORMIR EN CASA AJENA NO ENTIENDES?!"
I never understood how my white friends could get away with talking back to their parents. If I so much as rolled my eyes I was dead
So latino, but i like that, i don't know if that makes me senseless but i think discipline is important and "white people" is treated like garbage and they wonder ¿why my kids hate me? ¿why do they treat me so bad? but is not even close to hate, they give EVERYTHING to their child's ¿how could they hate them? it's just disrespect. Sorry if my English is bad, i am latina latina, i live in Venezuela so i don't know that much English hehe
+Eliza Hernández Exacto, a mi me coñasiaron que jode de coñito y lo agradezco, la disciplina es necesaria, claro, sin llegar a exagerar y sin herir por supuesto, pero de ves en cuando lo que se necesita para recapacitar (o por lo menos para respetar) es un buen coñazo.
Jajaja español, gracias gracias. Pues si también hay padres que exageran conviritiendo el "castigo" en sólo daño físico creyendo que eso es automáticamente disciplina, ese es otro extremo pero que choca un muchacho groserooo que nunca le han dado para que sea serio jeje
+Eliza Hernández If talking back simply means questioning, then I hope you never have kids. Idiots that teach their kids that questioning is a bad is the reason for most of the stupidity in this world.
+Natalie Bosmans I recently moved to France and it pisses me off how rude kids (even grown ups) are to their parents. I just don't get it.
So, I'm a third generation Latino, so I never experienced things like not going to a friend's house or having to stay home, mostly because my mom dealt with it and she didn t want to raise me to feel like I had to be dishonest in order to be a teenager. HOWEVER, you can bet your ass that the day I was born, my abuela presented my mother with a wooden spoon. A spoon passed through six generations used to make rice and smack the children. It's a nice spoon though, it really is handy.
BubbleOnFire do you come from a Chilean family?
pilorin No, Puerto Rican. :)
BubbleOnFire vale :)
First generation Colombian, my mom belive that people just learn fucking all around and getting as smashed and wrecked in the process as possible. So when i come back to home crying and whit a lot of problems behind me, she litteraly kick my ass while say "didn't i tell you this would happend you little shit head? didn't i tell you?" or in spanish "NO SE LO HA-BÍ-A DI-CHO MA-RI-CON-SI-TO? NO LE DI-JE?" once she finish she help me to put all together again.
OMG THE SPOON PART 😂
The one thing I was not allowed to do........sleepovers.
sleepovers are out of the question in latinoamerica
exactly
only with family but what i laughed at was the arby's one because i have never ate there and didn't question it till i saw this vid
Iv only ever had one sleepover, at my cousins cause my mum was in the hospital
I have 7 breakdowns in 4 weeks
My dad would say "si te desapareces, es la responsabilidad de ellos"
Sleepovers!!!!! YOU MISSED SLEEPOVERS!!!!! And SUPER comtroling parents are with daughters but not so much sons.
This is so true, my dad would always say, "you have a house why do you need to go to someone else's@
+Jasmine Duran that's hilarious. my dad would say the exact same thing, even if I was asking to stay with my cousins at my aunt's/uncle's.
+Onlylettuce92 soo true! When I turned 18 my father was like "Well, now you are old enough to go to sleepovers, but only to those your GIRL friends organize."; I just looked at him like "are you serious?". By that time I was already in college, drove around wherever I wanted, even had my own credit card, and took care of my sisters.
I couldn't believe it, still don't.
+Onlylettuce92 OMG I though my mom was the only one who didnt let me sleepover at my friends :(
dont like being a girl 😢
+Jasmine Duran this was my life verbatim!
I will never understand how parents will let their daughters' boyfriends "spend the night"... When you're Hispanic/ Latino the idea of you having a boyfriend is basically a death sentence
Unless you don't live with your parents anymore even though I'm 22 I still have no boyfriend because college comes first :)
I'm 23. My father still refers to my bf as 'my friend'. "And I'm not allowed to stay at his house overnight and he can't stay in my room" . (I have a separate apartment but mum still rules in my house)
For my dad, having a boyfriend is basically the reason why you fail in everything you attempt in life: "Oh, so your friend failed for the first time in some minor test, it must be because of that boyfriend"
Machismo bullshit
+Learsi Perez ikr. my dad always told me I'd better keep any guys away from our place because he had his gun ready for whoever got too close to me
"-Mira, your friend fulanita always wash the dishes!
-I'm not her, I do a lot other things
-She do a lot other things too, and help in the house!"
But, if you want to go out...
"-Mom, can I go to a party in two months?
-No.
-But, fulanita parents let her go!
-I don't care what she do, she's not you."
Hahaha fulanita!
Yelaah Nikole dude this is soooo true
if me and my mom were at the local laundromat washing our clothes and she saw girls younger than me helping fold clothes she would point to them and say "see? they're younger than u and they still help out their mother" even if I had been helping for an hour or more 😂
Yelaah Nikole True, I used to hate when she compared me to other girls at my school or my sisters. (Their both slackers) Then when I reminded her about it when she used to do it, she denied ever saying it. (Mom, you're one step closer to becoming Nana...... I would get in so much trouble if I said that to her, she absolutely loathes her Mom.) And my Mom knows what it's like to get compared to someone (For instance, my single and divorced Mom who had to move in to her Mom's house with us gets compared to her married and successful older sister. Then I wonder, if she hates being compared to someone, why does she do that to me at times? (My Mom is way different than most Hispanic Moms, though she shelters me from the outside world but she's never hit me before.
We have bars in the window ... we can't escape like that ...
True😂
I also have bars in my windows
True asf
my mother's life!
sooooo truee.
my mom always wants to know everything about my friend before I go over to her house.
omlll sammee and ur name 😂😂😂😂
Even when I'm gonna go hang out for a few hours or get a ride from someone I have to give a full list of who and who is going, who their parents are, how old they are and if they have a DL. I'm 23 and they still do this XD
Xiomara Lopez same 😂but it shoes how much they care so im ok with it
yo i'm 30 and my mom still does this. "y quien es ese? y donde lo conociste? donde vive? de que apellido es?"
Xiomara Lopez my mom doesn't care but my sister wants to know every little detail about their life 😑
Walk without pantouflas or chancletas in the house because somehow you are gonna be sick or... terribly sick. Talk back to your parents or call them by their first names or try run away/cry when your getting your ass whoop.
Cyn V yeah they'll scream put on your sandals you're going to get sick
for colombians its named the course of the "sereno" an strange aetherious and omnipresent entity whit both mortal and healing caracteristics, that acts through his minion "el chiflón" that causes pains in different parts of the body or flu
Cyn V none of those apply to me... lmao, im latin btw
Cyn V p.r. bte
if you are Latino don't try to sneak out at all
don't even dare to think about it
Eliza Vargas I know right😭damn mon hears everything omg
Eliza Vargas if your Latino always and I mean always prepare for a hard freakin childhood or life and the belt
zelma perez and The chancla
always prepare for la chancla
They always remind you, your never to old to catch a beating!
I'm 42 and I still flinch every time my mom raises her hand. ugh!!!
you flinch... my 65 year old mother hit my 46 year-old brother with a wet mapo the other day and yell at him "i can still kill you" the rest of us was heyy she still have it.
+REVALG My grandma (and my mom off course) always say " I don't fucking care if the president or the pope say yes, I said NO and is NOOOO!!!!" XD
+REVALG never piss off a latino mother, I still haven't forgotten when my mom wanted to beat me up with a broom for disrespecting her...seriously I am 30 years old and my mother yell at me on that day "aunquesas Viejo y gordo no te creas que yo no te pueda partirte la cara!!" she can be very scary sometimes, but I love her though :D
my mom also tells me to put shoes on when I'm barefoot or else I will get cramps...
what is the logic behind that?????
Jill N. My mom said that my feet will grow as large as a brick
you will never understand until you see it, belive me i've see it. IT'S TRUE!!!, and as many histories it passed to my cousin.
Miles Weinberg ur not Mexican
She tells me I’ll get sick and die
Jill N. Im latin so my mom tells me that all the time
I successfully sneaked out once and even took the car out of the garage. When I got back I reset the miles, and carefully parked the car the same way it was, everything was aligned perfectly. I still got caught when my dad touched the car and felt it was warm :(
Lucho Portuano how did u reset the miles😑
I neeed to know your tactic........ NOW!!!!
talk back to my mother. I am 22 years old, 6ft tall and 200 lbs and if I so much as mumble under my breath my mom, 4'9 ft, 160 lbs, will smack the ever living shit out of my face. thank God I am faster now
lol.. funny
I'm also 22 and still flinch when my mom calls me on the phone by my full name,cuz if I heard my full name when I was younger,I knew I was in trouble :P
+Sofia Castillo lol
My brother was also sheltered xD Even when he was 17(he's 27 now) he wasn't allowed to go out alone xD
Hey my mom is 4'9 and i find her scarier than my over tall and muscular father.
My mom never let me ask for water or go to the restroom when we were visiting friends. She would look at us with this death stare and say "si les pides algo, ya vas a ver cuando regresamos a casa." :X
Oh, this smell like childhood to me hahaha....
yep. Now when i visit friends and my parents aren't around, I ask for ALL THE THINGS lol
SO TRUE.
Alessandra Montes yep
Alessandra Montes so freakin true the struggles of being Latino
Hahaha
I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons because my dad thought Bart was a bad influence.
But I was allowed to watch anything Schwarzenegger was in.
lmao same
Me too lol
ya pretty much
You forgot talk back. They never let you talk back.
I know! I see these white kids even cursing at their parents, I'm like wtf!?
Exactly! if you dared you would have a meeting with the chancla
Hahahahahahahaha meeting LA CHANCLA!!!!!!!! XD
that's like :
-"tell me why you did that, what were you thinking?!!"
-"mom, I just..."
-"shut up!! don't talk me back!!"
hahaha in Mexico that happens all the time
Lulu Let SO TRUE
my mom growing up wouldnt let us go to friends house let alone any sleep overs or stay up late.Not even bring friends over unless she knew the parents.
too true
same
tiny martinez im pretty sure everyone's parents are like that why would you let someone in your home If you don't know them
tiny martinez exactly
So true
Oh thank God I thought I was the only one who was so sheltered growing up. My mom is Mexican and believe me I couldn't get away with SHIT. I wasn't allowed to freely go on TH-cam (or most of the internet) until I was 15-16. She wouldn't let me go out for walks in broad daylight (Yeah so good luck pulling that "leave a note" bullshit in the middle of the night) and if I wanted to hang out with some of my friends just in the neighborhood, you better believe I had to tell her EXACTLY where I was. And I mean EXACTLY. I never understood how kids were able to sneak out either (if I so much as coughed in the middle of the night she was in my room), or hang out with boys long enough to have as many pregnancy scares as my white friends did.
I'm 20 now and I still get flak for staying out late (I live at home while attending a nearby university) but hey I wouldn't trade it for anything because I can literally smell the Thanksgiving pozole and hominy being cooked as I type.
Trust me on this, you will thank your mami later in life... and not just for the food :)
Pozole♥
Thats like the heaven's food.
Im so jealous right now f the bs, posole = life
Alyssa,Lol this happened to me too :) and my parents are Colombian so if I didn't tell her where I was,oh my God I knew 'la chancleta' was waiting for me
poor yoouy😱 srsly
I can never sleep over at my friend's house -.- even tho she literally lives ACROSS THE STREET from me
+Natalie Valle That's too far. LOL
Sameee!!
+Natalie Valle I know what you mean. My best friend lived in the building directly across from us, on the same floor, with their balcony facing ours! Sleeping over? I couldn't even go hang out at her apartment without my mom coming with me for the entire time I was there.
yes literally so did my friend! I could yell to her from my balcony and she could hear and see me lol. and yea exactly, I had to take my backpack to her house just so it could look like we had schoolwork to do
The story of my life! My mother wouldn't let me go on sleepovers not because she didn't trust my friends' parents but she was mortified that I'd misbehave or do something stupid in someone else's home and it'd reflect poorly on her! I wasn't a bad kid, I was a pretty relaxed kid but she didn't want to risk it lol
Me: I failed the test
Latino Mom: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!
Me: Everybody else did.
Latino Mom: I don´t care about the others, I only care about you.
True :)
And after that, she will always compare you with everybody. I'm almost in the college and she keeps doing it
Fujoshi Orange IKR! :)
me @ mom
😂😂😂😂😂 so true... "a quien yo parí fue a ti" or "si ellos se tiran de un puente, ¿tu también?" they always got me with that one...
Leaving a note is the whitest shit I've ever heard
Mia Robles that is probaly why they control the world
Another Made Up Internet Subculture why Wouldn't you my mom latina moms wont chase you out at night unless you made her pissed off
Mia Isabella when I heard that I just facepalmed. NOBODY is going to believe that their teenager "went on a walk" in the middle of the night.
Lol
Another Made Up Internet Subculture I always go out late for an nightly scroll with my fiancé
My mom would "never sink low enough" to order fast food 😂😂 i would only get Burger king or Wendy's maybe twice a year because "tenemos frijoles en la casa" plus she was looking out for our health. But I love hockey, I'm like the only person in my family who likes a sport other than soccer 😂😂😂
omg saem but I live volleyball than soccer lmao
"Carbon te ases un huevo llegando a la casa pinches porquerias le tragas carbón" 😂😂😂 hace u Everest Heard that one
If they took us out if was only the burger and that's it....no fries or coke......Tenemos cocas en la casa y las papas engordan.......I didn't even know you could change up the burger.... I would get the cheeseburger and hated the mustered😝 and still ate it...because we couldn't complain
"Que KFC si eso es pura grasa!" or the typical "si tanto quieres papas en la casa hay para que frías." Latina moms were born to be fast food's nemesis, IT'S IN THEIR GENES
Ofelia C. soccer is life for us latinos tho😂
LEAVE A NOTE?!?!?!?! Good luck when they find you.
+FLAMA So I moved to the states from Puerto Rico when I was 27, so the list doesn't resonate as much with me (as in, I didn't get to do the same stuff all my friends didn't get to do either) that being said - when I moved here I was also mystified by Arby's, and why my then girlfriend liked it so much. I tried it, tried a roastbeef cheddar.
It was a nope for me. It's been six years, I still don't get it. #chancletabiónicaneverforget
+Kiwicrack Chancleta Biónica XD
Not aloud to date until u where 15
+William Useche For sure. When they throw it at you, everything slows down, like in bullet time, but you can never dodge it.
more like a one way plane ticket when you get back , Latino parents always talking like back home kids are any better
My mom can't hear the loudest things in the world but the smallest creak from a floor board... she shouts at me
When you're hungry and you beg your (Spanish) mother for McDonald but she's yells out NO! because we have food at home.-___-
Good mom. McDonalds sucks.
Amani Aguirre Jaber lmao yes xddd
No porque en la casa ay frijoles
I'm a latino in Latin-America. It's really funny how these everyday things are "uncommon" for someone else. Like, me, my classmates, my neighbours... everyone I know grew up with a fear for chanclas, raging mothers and very overprotective pseusospies parents.
My dad said spongebob was stupid and I didn’t get to watch it until I was 8 smh
Michelle Ponce that too late to watch spongebob squarepants
Starchelle my parents said tye same but with los padrinos mágicos
n.k. Same my parents never let me watch it I’m glad I didn’t
Starchelle my parents didn’t give a shit about what I watched and there mexican
Starchelle lol, same, I wasn’t allowed to watch Spongebob. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wasn’t an issue, but if my mother caught me watching Spongebob I’d get yelled at
Hey, I'm in the video 😄 awesome. Glad my sneaking out tips helped 😁✌🏼️
+Skyler Seymour Hah - awesome to hear from you! Wish I'd seen the video earlier in life. 😭
+Gabe G hey, it wasn't the smartest idea, but maaaaan I tried. 😆 good job on the video!
Skyler Seymour Trust me when i say, for Latinos that does not work... seriously my mother hears me open my door, or go get water at night and she wakes up.
How the heck do you manage to sneak out?
Dude, your sneaking out sucks.
Me being a guy, my mom would say that the only thing that would happen at sleepovers were 'jotadas' (gay things). Needless to say, she was right...
🤗
+Lauregui
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Wanna sleep over.
***** i'm sure it'd be fun ;)
+Lauregui "Jotadas" jajajajajajaja!
Well, I'm gay, so I guess that would definitely happen hahaha. Moms are sooo right!
Jajajajaja the note, sure my mother would allow me to leave anywhere without asking before, and telling exactly with whome, where, when, how I was going anywhere.
Me: mama, can I go to a party?
Mama: no
Me: mamiiiiii, why not?
Mama: because
Me: but give me one reason for not going
Mama: becAUSE I'M YOUR MOTHER AND I SAY SO
Me: but all my friends are going
Mama: if all you friends jump off a cliff, would you do it too?
Me *under my breath* yes, I would do it
Mama: WHAT DID YOU SAY, PENDEJA *grabs the chancla*
Me:NOTHING MAMI
Mama: that's what I thought
Me: *leaving* *murmuring curses*
Mama: *SOMEHOW GETS TO HEAR ME AND THROW ME THE CHANCLA EVEN THO WE ARE NIT IN H SAME ROOM AND GETS TI HIT ME *
Me: *killed for pendeja*
mary gamez OMG RELATABLE
How the hell do they do that?! The flying chancla is legend among my peers. Lol
Yup basically 70% of my life
Totalmente
My mom when family or her friends came to visit, I had to act like the best angel of heaven, if I slightly mess up... she would clear her throat and I already knew I fucked up...
Oh dang same
They never let you forget "el cincho" or "la chancla"
cincho? explain...
+PewDiePie
Cincho=Belt
Chancla=Slipper
+Eduardo Tellez ah ok i didnt know that here in Mexico its called Cinto
+PewDiePie yes It is cinto
+PewDiePie well not everyone is Mexican.
Am I the only one who wondered why sleepovers wasn't on the list?
Me: Mami! Me invitaron a dormir a la casa de mi amiga!
Mami: ¿Y tú de verdad piensas que vas a ir?
Me for the rest of the month: 😡😭😤
+Diana Chicas IT ALMOST WAS! Had to cut for time, but believe me I had zero sleepovers. My mom would be like "yo no conozco a esos padres" and there was no arguing.
+Gabe G Yesss! And then everyone who did go would go on and on about how fun it was! That's why every time someone would say their having a sleepover, I would always think "oh shit here we go again!"
+Diana Chicas ..sleepover virgin!... as a mother I' m guilty of that sin! The only sleepover my daughter has had was at her grandma's ...downstairs!
+Diana Chicas Siempre te dicen " usted tiene su casa y no tiene por que andar dando molestias en otro lado, NO VAS y se acabo"
En eso si mi mama no es tan latina, jaja! Amaba ir a dormir a la casa de mis primos y de mis amigas y que vinieran a dormir tambien :) Quizas Paraguay no es taaan latino en eso?
If your mom calls you by your full name, you have serious problems 😂😂😂👌
XD true fact
+Eddy Nelson Lopez that's very true, and very scary....
TRUE
SO TRUE
Eddy Nelson Lopez what my mom does that actually she does it when she is angry
FOR REAL.
Haitian parents. I didn't get to go to the movie theater till I was 17.
You should also mention how deeply religious alot of Latin American parents can be. You couldn't get out of going to church.
I'm latina and my mom and dad aren't super duper sheltering but they are really emotion-driven people like most latinos and like to talk some sense into me and luckily it has worked. Partly raised in Orlando too, Puerto Ricans are everywhere with their l's instead of r's!!!
Lodbrok me: mom can I go to Jennie's party?
Mom: no
Me: but everyone is going
Mom: last time I checked you aren't everyone
Brazilian mom quotes 😂👏🏼
The British rock bands thing! My parents were all about José Alfredo Jiménez, Los Bukis, Vicente Fernández and Juan Gabriel so that's who I grew up listening to. Also, sleepovers were a big ol' no most of the time. Friends could come, but I could never go.
Apparently if I took a shower and left the house as my hair was wet, then I would catch a cold. Latina ma logic 😂😂
I couldn't wear what I wanted, or listen to explicit music. Since my favorite genres were hip hop and metal, you bet your ass I literally had to listen to it in secret. Now I have bleached hair and tattoos so...
This so applies to African Americans as well! This was my life as a child. And, I have essentially become my parents. My son is always amazed by my hearing and my aim.
I didn't have to sneak out. My mom's a zombie when she's asleep so I would go up to her while she was asleep and be like, "Mami, Omar and Joey are here and we're going to get food." It's midnight on a school night. She'd say 'okay' and tell me to grab money from her purse. The next morning she didn't even remember.
but im pretty grateful for it because im on a pretty good road right know. Im not a bad kid and dont do drugs and im not super religous but like in the middle
simply_me 0001 then your just like me.😀
Jazzlee's fun world its not that bad im used to to it people who aren't used to it think we are isolated like no im just very devoted to god andy parents dont want to me to pregnant right know 😁
simply_me 0001 ya I relate,and stop saying know it's now (I'm not trying to sound mean)
Jazzlee's fun world oops 😂😂 and it's fine you don't sound mean! didn't check my spelling
simply_me 0001 yay!😄
Why don't you make a video about Mexican and Central American's indigenous identity
peruvian, bolivian and ecuadorian too
+PuroMate yes
Omg I relate so much to this all I'm allowed to do is clean do my homework and watch tv when my moms around
pretty sure this is a poor immigrant thing: I'm from an asian immigrant family and they did the exact same thing. no sleepovers, no parties, no concerts, no eating out without constant updates, etc. ugh. even now living at home as a legal adult in her mid 20s, they will harass me into staying at home past dark.
I'm so glad Gabe got a series. He gets me. Or it certainly feels like he gets me.
+Genis Sage on my wavelength! 💯
I see everyone commenting about sleepovers. That was never an issue. I had amazing sleepovers at my house too.
I thought I was the only person that did not know a lot about drugs from my mom or anybody at home, I actually didn't know marihuana even existed until I moved to the USA in 2010.
My mom would always host my birthday party and i would say "wheres my present" and she would say "this party is your present"
Talking back, sneaking out, sleeping over, sometimes going to parties was a hassle.
i feel like i was too sheltered lol my curfew was 6pm and i wasn't allowed to travel my friends had to come to me and then they would try to convince my friends to stay and hang out at the house and now that im older i dont know what to do with my life because im so use to not being allowed outside
Colombian here and didn't know how weed looks like until I was 24 and I know my country is known because of cocaine but I don't know how cocaine looks like. and the only sleepover I ever had was with my husband when I started living with him at 26.
From a fellow colombian Camila, ikr? when people ask me about cocaine i have to tell them i haven't even seen the thing is real life, just pictures
Exactly. We know the consequences: this horrible war that's been hitting our country for the past 50 or more years. But hey, haven't tried it and don't want to.
Right on point ladies. Funny fact is that less than 1% of Colombia's population consumes cocaine. First consumers are the citizens of United States, same with weed.
my mom is Mexican and doesn't like arbys
SAME!
I'm not ever allowed to miss a day of school.
Mew Mew Tea that's good
Don't forget the Terror of the Wooden Spoon.
oh jeez the wooden spoon. I'm having flashbacks.
no joke but growing up i was always in awe of all the trendy stuff and name brand stuff the peeps at my school had.
and when i say name brand,
i mean they had boxed cereal like fruit loops, and i had frootie tooties
When I was a kid trying to sleepover at a friends house, my parents would say what if that house burns down? Like da fuck?
I'm a Latino boy who grew up in Wilmington California (it's like the Mexican equivalent of Compton) so this video related to me on a fuckin spiritual level lmfao but since everyone I knew growing up was Mexican as well I didn't know a majority of stuff from this vid until I started talking to white people
Ever notice that puerto ricans are ready to get te kids out of their house as soon as they hit 18 but no other latinos do that..everyone in my family "left" home young including myself(at 19) and all the other Puerto ricans I know left home early too,but everyone I else talk tos family wont even entertian the idea.
The sneaking out thing is soooo damn true. And to back up my parents' super sonic hearing they have: A gate to get to the rooms, an alarm that sounds whenever you open a door that leads outside, cameras EVERYWHERE, gates surrounding the whole house, dogs that bark REALLY loudly all around the neighborhood, windows that are too small to get out from, and if that wasn't enough, the vecinos averiguaos who know EVERYTHING that's happening in the neighborhood at every second. I'm truly blessed.
I've never eaten at Arby's before. I wonder what it tastes like...
+Vanessa Landazabal its nasty i got a stomach ache and i only took 3 bites from the sandwich.
+Vanessa Landazabal You're not missing out on much.
My white aunt in an effort to Americanize me took me to Arby's. It wasn't great but they have like stuffed jalapeños and this really good mint shake thing. Oh and when you leave you're supposed to ring this bell weird
I've been in there once and out of all my experiences in fast food, this was the worst. my bros, my dad and I were literally the only Mexicans in there and all the white people in there were giving us all these bad stares.
there Curly fries
My Latino mom:
Shes Christian so she doesnt like me to listen to Led Zep or any Rock & Roll because its satanic.
She worries when im not home 1 minute after i said i would.
She will use the chancla if you dont listen.
Weed is worst than alcohol (haha) because its illegal and is a taboo for her.
She will not give you money if you dont clean.
Seth Rollin's Gap guilt tripping into cleaning everything at that very instant otherwise i am not grateful for al their sacrifices etc etc
Why you guys assume that all latinos are the same?? I'm latino and any of this applies to me... I'm Uruguayan btw... I smoked pot in highschool, listen to led zeppelin, etc.
I'm half Latina and half Caucasian and my mother (Latina) despises Arby's but my father (Caucasian) loves it.
yeah.... I didn't do drugs because my parents would kick my ass and I would never again see the light of day. I'm 22 and I can't even drink anything alcoholic in front of them. That's how strict Latino parents are
Latino moms N E V E R let you go out without a sweater...Watch out! We don't want you to get a cold!
ingrid was not having it. i died
whoa, wtf is wrong with Michael buble????
i mean he's not bad, but when moms like it you hear his song EVERY DAY starting at 8 am when she starts cleaning the house, repeating every song over and over again. Latina moms love him
The sneaking out part and the note enraging your mother is soo accurate! Haha so spot on!
In the early 80's, my buddy Jesse was living in Barrio Logan with his mom and his abuela and his sisters. One weekend his mom and sisters went to Mexico for some family stuff, and grandma stayed home in San Diego with Jesse. Now, abuela was an india, from way back in the hills, so much so that Castellano was her *second* language. Saturday night very late Jesse comes home wasted to the bone, with a big bag of some killer sinse. Sunday morning he wakes up, and feels the need for a leño. But he can't find the weed anywhere. After about an hour of frantic searching, he finally asks abuela discreetly if he "brought anything home last night", and she begins thanking him profusely and telling him what a good boy he is, and how her bones feel *so* much better. It seems she ground it up, mixed it with alcohol, and rubbed it on her joints to help with her arthritis. On the up side, abuela was very pleased with him and fixed him a wonderful breakfast.
I'm Puertorican and my 5 foot granny chased me around the house with a flip flop every time i misbehaved and if she couldn't catch me...she threw the flip flop and it always hit me.
My mom used to do that but instead of a regular flip flop she used una chancla de cuero. Damn that shit hurt!!
My grandma did that to me.
MY MOM LOVES MENUDOOO😂😂
Leave their presence without la benedicion. But I was born here so I guess it's ok for me to love love love hockey
Sleepovers were also never a thing
The pure true about sneaking out. I have done it now, but I am so paranoid and cautious when I leave. I take like 15-20 minutes to make sure I am quite. He is right about the super-hearing.
" Id sneeze and then i hear 'Gaby, Gaby estás Bien?' and when i wake up id be doused in 'Vicks'." 100% Relateable😂😂😂😂😂😂
No sleepovers for me either. And no boys.
i have NEVER EVER been on a sleepover but my friend has and hes mexican and im honduran
+Amado Fernandez my parents never let me go to sleepovers either!
can i call you brother?
I am exactly like you,I am also honduran
you know what i hate, peoplebarely knowing honduras
if you're from honduras you know what a baleada is right
I told my mom that I wanted to be a vegan and she gave me a lecture on how meat has lots of vitamins for your body...
um, many radio stations in Latinamerica actually transmits music in English alongside Spanish on a regular basis. There is even a category called "Rock en Español" with great bands like Maná, La Ley, Elefante, Maldita Vecindad....whose songs play before of after Aerosmith, Rolling Stongs, Nirvana....
I have never been to Arby's - my entire life. I'm Latino
I still have yet to go to Arby's.
jajajajaja Es verdad lo de tratar de escabullirse. ¡¡Es imposible!!
my mom would never let me dye my hair or get piercings
tony guagliardo same but I dyed my hair read and got an industrial piercing and I hid the piercing with my long hair that I’m not aloud to cut till I’m 18 and the read hair....I took the beating
Younger Me: Hey Mom, can I *perfectly reasonable social request*
Mom: If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you do the same thing?
this is soooooooooo relatable! The accuracy is scary. 😍
And why do hispanic parents shelter their children soooooo much?
+Onlylettuce92
most latin american countries had dictatorships and those regimes are dangerous as you don't have rights. So overprotection is a must if you want your family to survive, and the overprotective tradition remains.
+sunshine7018c what? hahaha, that's the most stupid answer ever.
+sunshine7018c thats not even true -.-
I agree that some latin american countries are very dangerous thats why they are more overprotective. Im talking about countries like Venezuela and most of central america.
They don't want their kids to be no gangster espically if you live in a dangerous place
+Onlylettuce92 its very culture specific, latin america has a collectivistic culture (latin america, china, etc), unlike western culture: i.e. canada, australia, USA, which are individualistic cultures. It has a lot to do with economy, culture, tradition, and yes even evolution. Since western culture are 1st world countries they teach their children to be their own individuals from an early age. They don't have to worry about the same things that 3rd world countries have worry about. 3rd world countries "collectivistic" , the word says it, they have closer families to thrive, for protection, an individual from that family represents the entire family's last name. Basically western culture cares more about the "self" and collectivists care about the "ingroup"
Omg! I relate to everything! I even live in Florida, only 45min away from Orlando! I learned most from kids at school about drugs and other stuff I shouldn't know, I can't go to sleep overs, and can't seek out, even though I wouldn't probably ever sneak out. BTW I'm Mexican.
My parents also hate when I walk around the house barefoot but I do it anyways.
How horrible must have been... living in there.
I was never aloud to eat at a friends house
Whenever I want to go to a new friends house my mom asks soooooo many questions “Do they have any brothers?” “Is their dad home?” “Uncles?” “Cousins” “what are you gunna do?” “Any other people gunna be there?” “How old is their siblings? “ blah blah blah...😂😂😂
when i moved to the suburb's i realized this....for me what hit me was things like: Camping, mini golf, golf, jet skiing, vacations, road trips and much much more. lol
