Honestly, outside the public embarrassment. I don't think Ming is a bad mother at all. She just really cares about her daughter and is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect her. She just doesn't realise the damage she does to her daughter's life by going to said extreme lengths.
@@dracos0024 hmmm kind of…. I haven’t seen turning red yet but from videos like these I could kind of see that. But the mom in turning red is mor protective lol
I felt so bad for the dad when Ming decided to go with Mei rather than stay with him for dinner. He seemed genuinely excited and ready for her to say yes. 😢
@@PhoenixHyena What i didn't like about ming is when she blamed and yelled at Mei's friends and it was wrong of her to do that because I like how miriam, abby and priya tried to explain themselves.
My mother was much more mellow, but I really feel for anyone whose parents freaked out when they only got above-average grades. I knew a few classmates were nervous wrecks during every exam.
Haha reminds me of that one moment in junior high when it's time to get our report cards. Some of my classmates had a crying session at the playground near school after they saw their grades. Most of them being the smart ones
@@sh1r4ko73 I got whooped and it didn't make me obedient and it damn sure didn't make me respect my parents it just made me fear them and made me careful to have evidence to back up my lies
Unpopular opinion, but honestly, I don't think Ming is a terrible mom. I mean, you can't say she's not coming from a place of love, even when it seems like she's being overbearing. A lot of parents nowadays don't seem to care enough these days, if at all. You can honestly tell that Ming just wants what's best for Mei, even if it seems like she isn't being fair. Hey, sometimes parents have to make the tough decisions for their kids. Can it be unfair sometimes? Sure. But it's still up to them to make that call. Because if something happens, it's on their shoulders, no one else's. They have to make choices based on the experience and hindsight that their kids don't have yet, and to a kid it can seem unfair when it actually comes from a place of love and wisdom. I mean, any parent can just say no and shut down any arguments from their kids, but Ming took the time to give her reasons, and honestly I thought they were good reasons. Personally, I don't have kids yet, but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with a 13 year old going off to a concert at night unsupervised, panda or no. Can it seem unfair? Yeah, of course! But parents should be allowed to make the choices for their kids that they think is best. That's just how being a parent is, and I'm not sure vilifying parents for making hard decisions is such a good idea. Just my thoughts on the matter.
She has the best intentions, but she act out of fear of her past mistakes. Building walls around her emotion (believing she had to be strong, logical, and protect) that she unable to build trust with her daughter. This is her mistake
Parents should stop their kids from going out too late or going out. Yes, I understand there’s kidnappings and other stuff that they have to protect their children from. “But parents should be allowed to make the choices for their kids that they THINK is best.” Sometimes, parents should allow their kids to make their own choices. How do you expect the kid to be independent if they’re relying on their parents’ insight ALL the time??? What is the kid going to do when they’re an adult? Are they just going to ask for their parents’ permission every time they’re going to do something??? Look, I get that parent’s choices for kids can be for protection. But the thing is, Mei-Mei has been perfect for her mother ALL the time. She deserves a reward, an ACTUAL reward. Which is to let her do her passion (going to the concert). Yes, it’s “just a concert”, but it’s more than that. She gets to spend it with her friends and have FUN. What’s wrong with being reckless a little? What’s wrong with having fun? Mei-Mei was miserable trying to be perfect for her mom, she wasn’t happy, she wasn’t having fun. She’s a growing teenager and should be allowed to make her own choices period. Parents should be kind of protective, not overprotective to the point where the relationship is BREAKING. In fact overprotective parents are just as toxic as parents who don’t care AT ALL. Mei-Mei’s relationship with her mom was good, but at the same time, it was fragile. Her mom does make her good food and provides a roof over her head, but her mom didn’t allow her daughter to be a teenager. She embarrassed her daughter in front of all her classmates. She made a huge mess at the concert arena and she basically almost killed the band members by letting them hang for long. She made fun of Mei-Mei’s interests/hobbies. She has her good sides, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that she also has her bad sides too. This is why their relationship was breaking. Just my opinion, but I wanted to share it with you.
In a weird way I'm really envious of Mei's mom. I know she's being toxic at times and it's a different kind of hell but she pays so much attention to Mei and helps her out, brings her food, keeps up with her education, even tries to make Mei's "first period" as comfy as possible to her. She's overbearing yeah and absolutely steps over her boundaries and overthinks too much, but she's also super caring and loves Mei a ton :
At first, I thought Ming wasn’t a great character. However, after a few days of thinking about it and let the movie refresh in my head, I now realize why she’s so protective of Mei. It’s because she was once her and she wanted to have her own life and the enourmous red panda that we see during the climax cause her and her mother to be separate, so in my opinion, I now think she is a really good character.
I dont understand why, if Ming was just like her daughter, wanting to be own person, seems to deny that right to Mei now?? Why was Ming being her own person so bad that she had to repeat the trauma?
@@hoooyea163 Right??? Like even before Mei turned into the panda Ming was doing the same thing her own mother did. Controlled every part of Mei's life to the point of plain out embarrassing her. Ming needed a fucking slap, just sayin'
Actually due to the fact that she understands what it's like to meet the expectations of an overprotective and controlling mother and how it negatively affected her.Shouldn't Ming have actually been more understanding of Mei's situation.
@@raebeingreal2170 : her mother cut contact with her. I think she also wants to keep her daughter safe from her mother, the only way to do that to her is make sure she fits expectations set by the grandmother so her daughter is safe and doesnt make grandma mad.
I honestly hope whatever parents saw this and act this way understand that this is what they look like. Sometimes it’s hard to tell when you’re not on the receiving end.
At 0:06 as you can see there are 4 people beside 4-Town. If you aren't familiar with these people or you are but you dont know they're names, those 4 people are Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Haydn. They are very popular Classical Composers. I think the reason why she put them in there is because since classical and 4-Town are music related, Mei is trying to convince them that 4-Towns music is like classical compositions. Which I think is hilarious😂
@@Artifex_Prudens Honestly, I thought they were the Founding Fathers (ha!). But the scene did go fast so not a lot of people observed it on the first time watching. So please keep your rhetoric about how this generation sucks for another day
My mom isn’t as extreme as Ming but she’s pretty close 😭 I remember hiding bad quiz grades and praying she wouldn’t find them and don’t even get me started on how I was never allowed to hang out with friends I mean I’ve never even been to a sleepover and I’m almost 19 🥲
Oh girl… I’m so sorry you’re not allowed to go to a simple sleepover. That sounds pretty extreme to me if you’re not allowed to make or hangout with friends, it’s just normal socialization.🤷♀️ I hope you mother realizes friendship can play a big part in your development and future connections.
I think your mom is protective about you having to be like something in a terrible situation and hiding bad grades are really bad cause if you let your mom know your mom can let you improve and the sleep over thing is like mine but it's different I was sleeping up and my cousin want to sleep down my mom dint allow me when Its the same house
omygod same :( i’ve never been to a sleepover and im literally turning 18 soon sighs and even when i turn into an adult, they would be much more strict bcs a sleepover is “dangerous and risky” 🧍♀️

@@Ningn4x well I was/am a pretty good student I got honor roll almost always from grade 4 to 12 so getting a bad grade was unacceptable and that’s why I hid the few bad ones I got 😅
This really does show that trauma when not addressed keeps continuing in new ways. There is no way around it. Ming had the best intentions, you can see it if you were to only focus on her perspective. But it’s not her perspective it’s meis, and that’s truly the Beauty of these movies. It’s unintentional harm, Ming causes great distress to meis life but she also made it her personal goal to have a good relationship with mei. Problem with that was she didn’t have any outside source show her that what she was going would do more damage in the end. But she didn’t want to loose that relationship. I think to a degree the panda itself had a lot to do with the emotions kept inside. And why kings was so huge was because she had so many emotions kept behind her perfect appearance. The bigger the panda the bigger the rift between relationships.
God I could go into this so much. Ming wanted to watch mei like a hawk to see the signs. But from how we saw mei wake up, just as the panda, I think she was going off her personal experience. She was watching for her own signs, because that’s all she knew. But she raised a smart sneaky kid with the watch of a hawk parenting. Meis was unexpected, small but fast. An extension to mei, but Ming’s was giant, destructive and dangerous. And that just represented what he held underneath. Just think of every scene, where ming watches her daughter hold in the panda, she is not only nervous for the surrounding and her daughter but for what her relationship with her could end up as.
Yeah no, imagine letting your 13 year old daughter, that has a mythical power, go to a crowded concert, without an adult supervisor, at night, with lots of strangers. Ming was in the right on this one.
I agree, and to be fair mei doesn't tell her that she can control the red panda, I mean imagine if she turn while being in a concert, yeah not so good aint it?
She is so cute, she dosent deserve to get blamed..she was like mei mei aswell, she's a loving mom. it makes me emotional that she cares about her daughter so much, I love mei meis and mings relationship ♥️
Since "Turning Red 2" is confirmed, it'll either be a sequel with Mei all grown up, or any of the prequel ideas (Ming's younger years or the whole legend of Sun-Yee).
If this is true, then I expect a story telling about Ming's past! She must've had a terrible childhood knowing that she can go full kaiju whenever she feels overwhelmed
I highly doubt that the sequel for this movie is going to be confirmed. Because Pixar clearly states that after Toy Story 4, they are taking a break from doing any sequels.
I love her so much. She's overbearing as hell, but she means the best and actually cares. She never neglects Mei Mei and she never shames her/blames her when things go wrong. She thinks like some older boy was being inappropriate with her or that she was being manipulated by her friends. Even though it's wrong/Mei is wrong for not correcting her at that moment, it's still very sweet/cathartic (but unrealistic) to imagine having parents who don't shame/want to destroy ur confidence when you make a mistake ;-;
My father is like that. I really love him, but over protecting parent can be horrible and actually lead to worst things. They'll always see the worst in things or stuff like this, being everywhere around you, never understand the concept of privacy. And honestly sometime you just want to breath
@@prenomnom4022 that sucks man. i had a friend whose parents were extremely controlling and overprotective. they always had a say in her life and it seemed like it was rough for her.
My mother was the same and I deeply resent her. She always did things out of what she thought would be the best, but nah she only cared about her intentions and what she THINKS but never what I felt. She never took into account what my say would be, or what I would prefer and shit messed me up growing up. She was like Ming who used unintentional humiliation and embarrassment, and one thing I’ll never forget is the pity on my friend’s faces whenever my mom would go off on me in public spaces.
I respect ur opinion, but I kinda dislike her mom, i feel like she doesn't give her a space. Sometimes those parents that are like that always controlling everything in their kid, choose choices for them, etc.
I love how Mei and Ming are having the whole discussion on why Mei SHOULDN’T go to the concert due to Mei’s panda issue, and then you have Jin reading the pamphlet on 4*Town. 💀 Also when Mei, states Ming should hangout with Jin and he’s like “Me?” and then “Aw Darn 🥺”, like you can tell to Jin is worried that she is doing a lot of helicopter parenting towards Mei and not enough time together with him. Poor Jin. 🥺
It was cute, but kinda sad. He looked pretty excited when acknowledged by his daughter, but was disappointed when his wife chose to ignore him. He went from 😯 to 😔.
I love Ming, she is a good mother (if we remove the public embarrassment) you can see the interest she has in her daughter, the concern and love, Mei is her life and it shows how much she loves her.
Ming is not a good mother. She refused to listen to Mei or else those awful public situations wouldn't have happened. She literally cared more about her daughter being perfect than actually knowing who her daughter really was. What parent doesn't at least try to know her daughter's friends. You would think that since she experienced the same parenting style growing up and realizing how much it traumatized her that she would try to be different with her own child.
No she's not lmfao. If embarrasing and traumatizing her daughter in front of everyone in her school isn't enough i dont know what to say. Stop drawing the line for overprotective parents, being overprotective isn't love, it's just toxic/abusive behaviour
Coming from an Asian family, my mom is also protective of me. Well, I'm 18 now but when I was 13 I remember her being similar but not as bad as Ming. This movie is so fun and it actually makes me happy because I have a great family :)
This reminds me of my ma, who was exactly like Ming when I was younger. She used to be suppper over-protective and forced her opinion on me from time to time. But when I eventually stood up to her like Mei Mei did at the concert, she, too, eventually changed. Now we're so chill and kinda like best buddies, though there are things we may hide from each other.
Honestly, after seeing how society can turn someone into a hollow shell, I do see why someone is so paranoid and is afraid of what influences their child is exposed to. But everyone has to find out where they stand themselves still.
I honestly don’t think Ming is all that bad. We see that Mei and her mom have a close relationship before the movie starts. I personally interpreted the strain in their relationship coming more from Mei reaching an age where you start to form and identity outside of your family and home, and Ming being unprepared and scared that her daughter was fully pulling away, rather than generational trauma. Although you could argue the generational trauma is how badly this transition was handled previously.
But little did Ming know that all those red panda products: T-Shirt and Caps and that flyer for Tyler's birthday party and a desire to go to the 4 Town Concert were all Mei's idea. Plus Mei giving Tyler a birthday he'll never forget is also her idea.
Is every Asian kid that perfect child? None of you guys can say that. I’m Asian and that’s what I went through except I was adopted by a European family.
Have you ever saw the show Glee? In Season 3, Mike Chang's dad asked the school Principal if Mike was doing drugs because he got an A-, an A-. To Mike's dad, he called that an Asian F. To anyone else, an A- is still a good grade, it's not the end of your life, but to Asians, they still see that as failure.
Can't be that perfect. I remembered beating a lot of them in trigonometry. Imagine being the one non-Asian in a math class and you get top 3 test scores consistently.
my mother expected to have a+ grade but she really dosent care as long we have an above average grade and its fine for her too but if I got an A+ grade she would be so happy.
A character in a graphic novel series about a babysitting club had an overprotective FATHER who physically treated her like a baby by making her wear pigtail braids and making her dress and feel like she was 5 years old. When I 1st read the book I was like: " Dude I know that you don't want your daughter to grow up but that's PART of human life and NATURE."
0:26 I understand that you can't trespass on school property as she did earlier they have no authority to force her to leave as she's just on the road.
It’s so easy for kids to understand each other in talking about how horrible and unfair their strict and overprotective parents are, but they will never understand what it’s like being a parent until they become one: the sacrifices and tough choices their parents had to make ever since… well before they were even born. Parents can be toxic but so is everyone.
Honestly Ming had a point with the whole keeping your emotions in check at a concert with a band you adore? Though idk im really tired rn so i shouldn't be on my phone... ignore me lol
Man right, seeing all these people praise her oh I know full in well these people would not survive having a parent like that 😭 literally drove me to suicide attempts Jesus
@@gabymartinez2814 thankfully I got a good ending. We’re currently working out everything with therapy and everything is going to be ok. It takes true communication to reach a good point
I’m starting to think that Mei’s friends the way they helped Mei control the red panda Ming should know so that all Mei’s hiding secrets and lying would be long gone if she was just honest to her Ming she wouldn’t have gone crazy and destroyed the sky dome and Mei and her friends would finally see 4*TOWN in person! And Mei and her friends would have the best day of her life! Does anyone agree?? Well I’m not saying she should disobey her mom I mean is that Mei would not lie!
Honestly, outside the public embarrassment. I don't think Ming is a bad mother at all. She just really cares about her daughter and is willing to go to extreme lengths to protect her. She just doesn't realise the damage she does to her daughter's life by going to said extreme lengths.

These are Asians
Same. Being Chinese I had cousins in Mei's situation
Further proof that being a super strict parent doesn’t necessarily mean that your kid is obedient. It just makes them a damn good liar.

@@Gshadow1000was that before or after they made toy story 3 and 4....?
I Don’t know why ming’s double jointed elbow caught me off guard xD
0:55 I can't- I can't when she did that 😭
1:42 Indian parents when their kid gets an A-
happy sorry 😊
Relatible 😭
I love her so much. She's overbearing as hell, but she means the best and actually cares. She never neglects Mei Mei and she never shames her/blames her when things go wrong. She thinks like some older boy was being inappropriate with her or that she was being manipulated by her friends. Even though it's wrong/Mei is wrong for not correcting her at that moment, it's still very sweet/cathartic (but unrealistic) to imagine having parents who don't shame/want to destroy ur confidence when you make a mistake ;-;
just because she’s well meaning doesn’t justify her overbearing parenting style.
My father is like that.
I really love him, but over protecting parent can be horrible and actually lead to worst things.
They'll always see the worst in things or stuff like this, being everywhere around you, never understand the concept of privacy.
And honestly sometime you just want to breath
@@prenomnom4022 that sucks man. i had a friend whose parents were extremely controlling and overprotective. they always had a say in her life and it seemed like it was rough for her.
My mother was the same and I deeply resent her. She always did things out of what she thought would be the best, but nah she only cared about her intentions and what she THINKS but never what I felt. She never took into account what my say would be, or what I would prefer and shit messed me up growing up. She was like Ming who used unintentional humiliation and embarrassment, and one thing I’ll never forget is the pity on my friend’s faces whenever my mom would go off on me in public spaces.
I respect ur opinion, but I kinda dislike her mom, i feel like she doesn't give her a space. Sometimes those parents that are like that always controlling everything in their kid, choose choices for them, etc.
“LOOK”
“I CAN MAKE A PERFECT CIRCLE”
:D
Ming has her flaws but I have to be honest and say she's my favorite character 😂
💔💔🤮🤮
😂
Damn. The first clip. I felt that.
I love how Mei and Ming are having the whole discussion on why Mei SHOULDN’T go to the concert due to Mei’s panda issue, and then you have Jin reading the pamphlet on 4*Town. 💀
Also when Mei, states Ming should hangout with Jin and he’s like “Me?” and then “Aw Darn 🥺”, like you can tell to Jin is worried that she is doing a lot of helicopter parenting towards Mei and not enough time together with him. Poor Jin. 🥺
1:04 the dad's reaction 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was cute, but kinda sad. He looked pretty excited when acknowledged by his daughter, but was disappointed when his wife chose to ignore him. He went from 😯 to 😔.
1:01 Took away his happiness in 2 seconds
Is that an adult joke or something?
Actually at the last clip the mom is actually just being a Karen lol
It may have just been a trick of the lighting, but I noticed at times when Ming became a touch more emotional, her red pendant would glow a little.
I love Ming, she is a good mother (if we remove the public embarrassment) you can see the interest she has in her daughter, the concern and love, Mei is her life and it shows how much she loves her.
Ming is not a good mother. She refused to listen to Mei or else those awful public situations wouldn't have happened. She literally cared more about her daughter being perfect than actually knowing who her daughter really was. What parent doesn't at least try to know her daughter's friends. You would think that since she experienced the same parenting style growing up and realizing how much it traumatized her that she would try to be different with her own child.
No she's not lmfao. If embarrasing and traumatizing her daughter in front of everyone in her school isn't enough i dont know what to say. Stop drawing the line for overprotective parents, being overprotective isn't love, it's just toxic/abusive behaviour
Her intensions are good and she is right about the possibility of Mei causing some harm due to her red panda. But Ming went about it in the wrong way.
Wouldn’t say good, she does unintentional harm and what’s shit is that she isn’t self aware either lmfao
0:07 I just realized that Mei was wearing her mom’s jacket
yes 😊 good
1:59 my mom when she finds out I got a 95% and not 100% cause I was playing roblox
When Ming said, "let's go get my flash cards", that reminded me of what Cristina Yang would say.
I just notice that Mei is wearing the Blazer her mom is always wearing. Maybe because she associates seriousness with it?
Coming from an Asian family, my mom is also protective of me. Well, I'm 18 now but when I was 13 I remember her being similar but not as bad as Ming. This movie is so fun and it actually makes me happy because I have a great family :)
This reminds me of my ma, who was exactly like Ming when I was younger. She used to be suppper over-protective and forced her opinion on me from time to time. But when I eventually stood up to her like Mei Mei did at the concert, she, too, eventually changed. Now we're so chill and kinda like best buddies, though there are things we may hide from each other.
Honestly, after seeing how society can turn someone into a hollow shell, I do see why someone is so paranoid and is afraid of what influences their child is exposed to. But everyone has to find out where they stand themselves still.
I love her so much and i'm so glad she and mei mei is in a better place now and there both happy.
I am very impressed with her mom being abled to do a perfect circle with her elbow-
I honestly don’t think Ming is all that bad. We see that Mei and her mom have a close relationship before the movie starts. I personally interpreted the strain in their relationship coming more from Mei reaching an age where you start to form and identity outside of your family and home, and Ming being unprepared and scared that her daughter was fully pulling away, rather than generational trauma. Although you could argue the generational trauma is how badly this transition was handled previously.
My mom is overprotective too…
1:07 I feel so bad for Jin😞🤚
Mings transformation is too dramatic 😂
1:08 This is not good. This is the opposite of good!!!
But little did Ming know that all those red panda products: T-Shirt and Caps and that flyer for Tyler's birthday party and a desire to go to the 4 Town Concert were all Mei's idea. Plus Mei giving Tyler a birthday he'll never forget is also her idea.
"She attacked a defenseless boy"
Tyler: **calls her a psycho**
The way Ming Drove off Has me DYING
I sure hope the guard gets a fair salary...
happy 😊 girl too bay just sky 🌌 my phone 📞
0:55 That was pretty funny..
Ming was all Chosen One energy with no army to flatten
1:54 this is a "remember son dying is gay" moment
The second I saw Mei's grandma, I understood why Ming acted like that in the whole movie
Is every Asian kid that perfect child? None of you guys can say that. I’m Asian and that’s what I went through except I was adopted by a European family.
Have you ever saw the show Glee? In Season 3, Mike Chang's dad asked the school Principal if Mike was doing drugs because he got an A-, an A-. To Mike's dad, he called that an Asian F. To anyone else, an A- is still a good grade, it's not the end of your life, but to Asians, they still see that as failure.
Not really. Mine wasn't but they will call me out cuz I act childish.
Can't be that perfect. I remembered beating a lot of them in trigonometry. Imagine being the one non-Asian in a math class and you get top 3 test scores consistently.
Not my parents, for them A's and B's are good grades but C's, D's and F's are not and personally I agree with them.
my mother expected to have a+ grade but she really dosent care as long we have an above average grade and its fine for her too but if I got an A+ grade she would be so happy.
The angry and worrying mom is the most dangerous mom
happy sorry 😊
Am I the only one who finds Ming rlly funny, interesting & entertaining?
My mom is overprotective too and I’m 20
If you are 20, your mother needs to stop overprotective.
@@johnsantos507 my mom treats me like I’m a kid and my Dad doesn’t
@@oziswag3260 same I’m almost 19 🥲
@@johnsantos507 easier said than done my friend :,)
A character in a graphic novel series about a babysitting club had an overprotective FATHER who physically treated her like a baby by making her wear pigtail braids and making her dress and feel like she was 5 years old. When I 1st read the book I was like: " Dude I know that you don't want your daughter to grow up but that's PART of human life and NATURE."
1:04 dad: 😮
1:07 dad: 😞
0:26 I understand that you can't trespass on school property as she did earlier they have no authority to force her to leave as she's just on the road.
1:42 when you trying to fight your mom
It’s so easy for kids to understand each other in talking about how horrible and unfair their strict and overprotective parents are, but they will never understand what it’s like being a parent until they become one: the sacrifices and tough choices their parents had to make ever since… well before they were even born.
Parents can be toxic but so is everyone.
Well I as an adult think she’s horrible and unfair. Don’t excuse toxic behavior just because everyone’s doing it
@@joeymalaria4702 Unfair? Yes. Horrible? I wouldn’t go that far.
happy sorry 😊
It’s worse then I excepted: Ming Lee is not just a tiger mom but a Karen.
yes 😊
I tell you what I got chills watching Mei's mother go find her (reminded me of when my own dad would do that).
yes 😊 good 😚💋💋💋
I don't care what people say, I love Ming, she's my favorite character because the way she reacts to things is hilarious
Mei's mom was a doctor
She was Cristina Yang
Ming's actress is absoulutly briiliant❤❤❤❤
At least Mei didn't try to bribe her mother with gifts like Jimmy Neutron did.
Ming’s last word before the end of this video is: “MEI!”
0:45
Am I in the International Wallace Club? They all look like they want
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese…
An overprotective mom is an understatement, she’s a Karen. XD
0:18 why does abby look around like a gmod charactor💀
00:28 - 00:29 The fast drive away.
0:04 My mom when I ask her if I can get Grand Theft Auto.
0:53 Is so funny XD
I love Ming Lee, she is so beautiful.
Honestly Ming had a point with the whole keeping your emotions in check at a concert with a band you adore? Though idk im really tired rn so i shouldn't be on my phone... ignore me lol
I had an asian mom just like this. Destroyed me. Mentally exhausted me. Trying to keep her happy. This shit ain’t a joke but a sad reality for some
Man right, seeing all these people praise her oh I know full in well these people would not survive having a parent like that 😭 literally drove me to suicide attempts Jesus
@@gabymartinez2814 thankfully I got a good ending. We’re currently working out everything with therapy and everything is going to be ok. It takes true communication to reach a good point
Have you recommended her to watch this movie yet?
Proof that Karens existed before the 2010's
The way she ascended 💀 ✋
I love you Ming keep telling her no
Im sorry but if my mom was like this im disowning myself from the family
I’m starting to think that Mei’s friends the way they helped Mei control the red panda Ming should know so that all Mei’s hiding secrets and lying would be long gone if she was just honest to her Ming she wouldn’t have gone crazy and destroyed the sky dome and Mei and her friends would finally see 4*TOWN in person! And Mei and her friends would have the best day of her life! Does anyone agree?? Well I’m not saying she should disobey her mom I mean is that Mei would not lie!
I would hate to have a mom like that.😂😂😂😂😂
Poor Jim
Awesome video
When Ming says “you get whipped into a frenzy and Panda all over the place” it sounded like a song
Is it me or Ming is the only one going extreme then her husband whose chilled throughout the movie
Ming should have had more kids
“Oh! See?! see!? This is what happens when you don’t wear sunblock and do drugs all day!”
-Ming lee
The ending tho 😂🙌
yes 😊
Trust issues unlocked: 1:09
Meis mom : I believe I can fly Ming’s mom: GET BACK DOWN HERE
Loving mother but very helicopter parent, *I know that feeling too well...*
Mei:what about dad
Ming:yea no
The mother's love for their daughter is...rare
Told ya kingdom hearts 4 😂😂😂 0:33
0:54 okay thats legit unheard of ._.
Ming isn't a terrible mother, she just has a double-jointed elbow.
Yeah she’s at least better than her own mom ever was
Jin is a good dad
the last part tho IMAO
Other than the concert scene, I don’t think she is that terrible a parent
If I had Ming Lee as My Mom I would outsmart her as long I don't make her mad
