What always confused me about the Cool Whip container is that we had one in my house but we never had Cool Whip. I have no idea where that container came from.
I grew up with french immigrant parents in Hong Kong, the worst thing that ever happened to me was being deprived of crepes and excluded from political conversations. Now I am weak.
My dad's Dominican, Caribbean farming family. He saw was there for his grandson's first steps. My sister in awe. I'm smiling. My dad says in Spanish "about damn time".
Couldn't have said any better. Every fucking thing (furnitures) in my house just for the. We have to get good grades so that people won't talk shit. We have to behave certain way so that "neighbors" won't gossip. I'm so tired of it.
@@warmaudacity3678 its kinda sad cuz for me my parents would just be so stressed out for their reputation in the family. We're a full fledge Asian family with own own tradition in each side and it gets hectic cuz of how many things we gotta prepare every reunion and family tradition and how the house should look, how we present ourselves, how much we've accomplished. Sometimes we just gotta help them loosen up with the reputation and do things in our own family way. Our parents were grown up to be like that, to have this kind of living and it must be horrible for them, even if they don't show it.
@@lizrod7892 not really a certain age. But they'd nah at you when you're quite successful enough on your own. Usually around after 22 to 35. (Coming from my family experience) kids?? They usually don't give a shit after the first child.
Immigrant parents are practical, realistic and strict. They work hard cos they aren't rich so they had to show tough love to their kids. Heck, mine got only soft in their 60s. Despite that, we just know they did what they did for the family. That's all that counts.
Immigrant parents are tough. Although, my parents only smacked my butt - “that is why it is padded.” I had a 9 pm curfew at 18 and my sister had to date with a chaperone. The allowance bit was my childhood.
*Nah, some parents are just dicks, hitting and educate are 2 different things if you're a really bad kid then yeah you deserve it, but for most parents it was the way to handle something that they didn't know and that was raising child*
Jokes apart I salute all those parents who migrate to another countries and struggle financially emotionally physically just to provide good future and life to their kids ❤️❤️
@DarthLesbian420 No. ALL of them, ESPECIALLY refugee immigrant parents that risk everything to give their child a future. If you think borders take away someone's humanity and need for safety and quality of life, that's a YOU issue, you heartless psychopath.
@@chris-rq7dw wow settle down. In cases like you're describing, they're offered asylum. Too many times that gets confused with economic migrant, which are usually the ones who enter illegally. The majority are not political asylees.
That's empirically false. Most illegal migrants are refugees that have not been given asylum but left violent, poor nations to make it here. Most nations don't give asylum to many people fleeing horrible situations. On the other hand, purely economic migrants have empirically almost always been legal.
@@katew.176 Seeking asylum is a long and complicated process, especially for people who don't have the legal or language skills to understand the immigration process. Asylum status is difficult to gain because of how strong and detailed your case needs to be in order to fit within one of the categories to be considered for asylum or refuge. Even when someone has gained asylum, it can take years for them to be granted citizenship. I worked at a non-profit organization dealing specific with providing legal assistance for asylum seekers, and saw firsthand how tedious the process can be. People wait months to even hear back if their case was taken on or not. Political asylum is not automatically granted to whoever needs or seeks it.
@@pranavanand4305 if they are economic migrants, why would they get legal status in another country when they're safe in their own? I'm not referring to those who get a visa for work or through a lottery system or even a student visa. I'm talking about immigrants who come illegally and how economic migrant is different from an asylum seeker on the grounds they left due to poverty, for example. Violence or fearing for your life I understand is asylum. And although it is a long and difficult road, that's not to say EM gain legal status more often if they came illegally. They have less chance actuall of legal status, because they don't meet the criteria. The original comment referred to legal vs illegal immigrants. So that's what I was responding to.
Definitely, my friends and I have families who have immigrated from the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and South America, our parents may have grown up speaking different languages or eating different foods, but they all learned to parent the basically same way.
@Sameer Vadlamani my guess is hes Serbian (from the name, I am too, that's a very typical Serbian name). And yes, there are tons of similarities between our families and all other immigrants. I think americans/canadians/western europeans can learn a lot from us when it comes to multigenerational family ties and closeness beyond the nuclear family. But we can learn a lot from them when it comes to being open minded about careers etc. Basically what happens when cultures mix is that hopefully everyone learns from each other and we all progress further.
I live in a building with a lot of elderly Chinese. It's that exercise and the military like marching. I was hoping for some tai chi when I moved in but noooo
the asian parents told their child to be a doctor "helping people is like a bottom list of the reasons" I CAN'T 😂 THIS IS SO ACCURATE *edit : wow....thanks for the likes 😂😂
My step dad is Desi Indian (I’m Afro latina) he told me after I failed two classes in middle school to just get married when I got older because I’ll never have a good transcript for college. But I knew he meant well, he was they type to show he loved you instead of saying it. He must love me because he cane to every concert, every art audition and the man taught me to walk. Immigrants are amazing people.
Love and totally get all of these cultures!❤❤❤I’m a Caucasian immigrant from Western Europe but my parents insisted my four sisters and I play violin, cello and piano professionally-OR ELSE! Music lessons,weekly orchestra practice, music camps practicing for four hours a day, while insisting we all get straight A’s, winning competitions, conservatory schooling, etc. The constant pressure to succeed was overwhelming. -Thank you for your stories and bringing laughter to so many!😂
"There's nothing that can convince these people to see a doctor." That hit me so hard. I haven't stepped in a doctor's surgery in 4 years and I am honestly unsure if I have a tumour despite being a minor.
Hello dear, I'm an ER doctor. I'm from Brazil (I work at two hospitals in Rio de Janeiro), therefore I won't be able to help you physically, but I will say this: please, go see a doctor. If it is, in fact, something serious, the sooner we can investigate it, the better. If it's not something serious, you'll: 1) at least have some peace of mind; 2) have a doctor who will be your reference for when you don't feel healthy.
I'm white and I feel this on a personal level. My mom and grandma tolerated no disrespect. I wouldn't even cuss in front of my grandma as an adult. She was a fiesty old German lady, and she feared no man.
My grandma yelled at my dad in German, that's so the rest of the family had no idea what they were saying. My older brother learned German that way lol. Unfortunately, she passed before any of us kids grew up.
My grandma's Irish and usually very soft spoken and sweet. The ONE time any of her kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids (there's a lot of us) ever cursed at her was my uncle, who is her only son, her cherished child, her uncontested favorite child. The entire family stepped back, no one was gonna get in her way to slap him into next week
LISTEN TO HIM. Being with guys who don't know how to cook, or actusl life in practical ways is like.... nah. Just nah. Girls might think the guy's cute when they're younger, and priorities are generally retarded, but by age 30 etc, the more actual life things guys can't do well, the more infuriating it can be lol. And it tends to be those things which make or break a union. If a guy can cook, it is honestly such a massive win.
My Italian dad was forced to become a doctor; he hated it. I now have much more education in health natural health care and I pity my dad who would have loved being a gardenener.
Why a gardener tho it's a struggle my father is one and he would prefer and other job than that and he got arthritis from that job he even bend one of his finger properly
I felt this bone deep! I'm first generation Puerto Rican and German. I can so relate to the Hispanic and the European comedians. That shit went on in my household growing up and I got both sides of it. Being pushed to succeed is big when you grow up in an immigrant household. And respect is expected or your ass got kicked big time.
Dude when he said they'd check if the coast is clear before slapping you up....I FELT THAT. But my parents wouldn't even look around. It was so habitual that they'd just slap me up anywhere. I make fun of it till this day, but those are some dark memories I got to live with.
we first seek some quack doctor, miracle healer or magical body oil rub for few months then when things go south, we ask our nurse/medical field grad cousins/aunt/uncle/niece/nephews even neighbors.
I have Asian/desi mother and an Arab father both doctors, my brothers are doctors and I will be the first non doctor in my family in three generations. Yes apparently law is for the dumb children who were mediocre at bio and chem and sucked at math and physics. So law it was.
Thats so true! I remember when i was like 10 years old when we go to a temple, my dad would tell me to "pray that you will study well and become big doctors" SO ACCURATE
The Irish Catholic houses being like “We eating? We pray!”, “You have a test? We pray!”, “You wanna get a doll? Pray and God will get you that stuff!” B-But, first, we pray in English and then, Gaelic. Then English again.
@@yeetngreet148 actually we call our language Irish, not gaelic. The word Gaelic is derived from the Irish word Gaeilge, which translated means Irish. Anyone who claims to be Irish and says they speak gaelic might be descended from Irish people, but no actual Irish person would say that. Also, most of us don't speak Irish, English is our first language.
“Empty Cool Whip containers, Country Crock...” lmmfao 😂 My mom used to hoard that shit too! Including the big ice cream tubs he mentioned. She still does sometimes so she has a few even though she slowed down immensely. That is too damn funny though 😆 #relatable #pinoypride 🇵🇭
Hahahahaha!!!!! My family is European and they still do that, too! No real containers, just recycled food ones. I guess they learned recycling and reusing long before it became popular!!!
Cool whip & the margine containers were definitely highly used in our home too!! When as a teenager I finally started working I was always invited to the ever popular Tupperware parties as a single gal I found myself buying Tupperware for my Mom & still complained to me about wasting my $$$$ on that expensive plastic!! Seriously,she got for free from me. Lol
This was hilarious AF just needed an African comic in there. I remember growing up going to my best friends house whose fam was from Ghana 🇬🇭 . I used to love walking into his house and smell that amazing jollof rice cooking. His Mom and Grandma reminded me of mine even though they were from different parts of the world and spoke different languages. Ain’t nothing like those immigrant values, it’s worth more than Gold. To all My Africans much love from 🇲🇽 🇸🇻
"Apparently that's worthy of mockery" - that's a beautiful way of expressing "You think that's funny?" It's almost always funny hearing anybody make fun of their parents because there's always at least one thing that your own parents also do 😂
Ever wonder how we walk 7 days and 7 nights thru a desert dodging the drug cartels and border patrol, start working the very same we make to this side of the border - in 1 to 2 years later own either a house cleaning, lawn mowing or remodeling business speaking little to no English while supporting the whole family we left behind - that ladies and gentlemen it IS the primary results of good old Latino parenting! 😂
I have a lot of Latino neighbors at my apt building; one guy works 3 jobs to support his family. I have the utmost respect for everything you guys have done for this country. Unless you're 100% Native you're an immigrant & you must respect the hard work and contribution to all American culture. You can't love taco bowls and hate Mexicans, like our prez does.
I’m 47 and italian, my family lived the traditional Italian in America way. Basically when I was 8 celebrating my birthday my father told me I was old enough to get a job. ***Dead Serious***
Ukrainian parents want different things depending on gender. Daughters should be SAHM'S, nurses or teachers and Sons should be lawyers, chefs, or work in finance. Sport is also okay, but it needs to be tennis. Or you can be a black sheep like me and become a psychologist, then make it worse by working in research 😋
I never understood why people said "I'm half muslim" as if it was some kind of a race. Was it a race? Coz Indonesia is the largest muslim population but they are sure not from Saudi Arabia. So???
One of the parents is probably muslim and the other is of different religion. I know someone who has a muslim mum and a christian dad, and she calls herself half muslim. I know it's weird because it's not a nationality but a religion, but who am I to correct her? 😁
Growing up, if you looked under the counter of any auntie, you'd find stacks of margarine/cool whip containers and plastic store bags full of plastic store bags. It was like they were saving for the plastic apocalypse or something. Couldn't be mad about it when they used both to send food home with you though. 🤣🤣🤣

All that's missing is a Carribean comic because being a Doctor/Lawyer/Nurse ...especially a Nurse Lol...is the priority. Lol
Oh damn, is that why in America there are so many nurses from the Caribbean?
Maxwell yes lol 😂 majority of Haitian women after school they just go to nursing school or med school
Medjina joanis I feel you 😂. Haitians don’t play.
I’m 25, in uni, my mom is still like “it’s useless! Become a nurse!” 🤦🏽♀️
xx 4almyr don’t listen to them girl go do what makes you happy
That’s why it’s great to go to a school where everyone is as poor as you: everyone has a cool whip container!
😂😂
I'm just over here being impressed by the name brand. No off-brand whipped topping or margarine container for him.
Lol
What always confused me about the Cool Whip container is that we had one in my house but we never had Cool Whip. I have no idea where that container came from.
@@carolinamurtha3102 It was probably a container used for leftovers at a party 😂. That’s where we always got them from

I grew up with french immigrant parents in Hong Kong, the worst thing that ever happened to me was being deprived of crepes and excluded from political conversations. Now I am weak.
Loved this comment
Well, there's always the American election to "converse" about.

My dad's Dominican, Caribbean farming family. He saw was there for his grandson's first steps. My sister in awe. I'm smiling. My dad says in Spanish "about damn time".
I felt all of this. 😂😂😂. The times I tried to be an American kid to my Portuguese parents were the times I felt all the pain.
Allowances. Bwahahahaha.
Asian parents suffer from odd social anxiety to the point where EVERYthing is done just for show.
thats so true and sad
Couldn't have said any better. Every fucking thing (furnitures) in my house just for the. We have to get good grades so that people won't talk shit. We have to behave certain way so that "neighbors" won't gossip. I'm so tired of it.
Don’t forget asian women also have to marry at a certain age or have kids 🙄 and show that off too 😂
@@warmaudacity3678 its kinda sad cuz for me my parents would just be so stressed out for their reputation in the family. We're a full fledge Asian family with own own tradition in each side and it gets hectic cuz of how many things we gotta prepare every reunion and family tradition and how the house should look, how we present ourselves, how much we've accomplished.
Sometimes we just gotta help them loosen up with the reputation and do things in our own family way.
Our parents were grown up to be like that, to have this kind of living and it must be horrible for them, even if they don't show it.
@@lizrod7892 not really a certain age. But they'd nah at you when you're quite successful enough on your own. Usually around after 22 to 35. (Coming from my family experience) kids?? They usually don't give a shit after the first child.
Immigrant parents are practical, realistic and strict. They work hard cos they aren't rich so they had to show tough love to their kids. Heck, mine got only soft in their 60s. Despite that, we just know they did what they did for the family. That's all that counts.
yeah all immigrant parents are the same 🙄🙄🙄🙄 hey let me read you your horoscope and tell you how special you are i bet you'll eat that shit up.
You've clearly experienced nice immigrant parents.(-___-') If you had mines you'd never be able to say this. (ToT)
Immigrant parents are tough. Although, my parents only smacked my butt - “that is why it is padded.” I had a 9 pm curfew at 18 and my sister had to date with a chaperone. The allowance bit was my childhood.
@PurpleSugar56, you got it right on.
*Nah, some parents are just dicks, hitting and educate are 2 different things if you're a really bad kid then yeah you deserve it, but for most parents it was the way to handle something that they didn't know and that was raising child*
“Hates feelings, loves speedos. That’s my dad.” That could sum up pretty much any immigrant father.
"I have so much love for this dog. I don't feel this way for anybody else." I died

Jokes apart I salute all those parents who migrate to another countries and struggle financially emotionally physically just to provide good future and life to their kids ❤️❤️
Yes. I am grateful for my immigrant grandparents. I benefitted from their decision!
That’s what I’m doing now for my children… 🇧🇷➡️🇦🇺

So much love to everyone out there with immigrant parents no matter the country !
@DarthLesbian420 No. ALL of them, ESPECIALLY refugee immigrant parents that risk everything to give their child a future. If you think borders take away someone's humanity and need for safety and quality of life, that's a YOU issue, you heartless psychopath.
@@chris-rq7dw wow settle down. In cases like you're describing, they're offered asylum. Too many times that gets confused with economic migrant, which are usually the ones who enter illegally. The majority are not political asylees.
That's empirically false. Most illegal migrants are refugees that have not been given asylum but left violent, poor nations to make it here. Most nations don't give asylum to many people fleeing horrible situations. On the other hand, purely economic migrants have empirically almost always been legal.
@@katew.176 Seeking asylum is a long and complicated process, especially for people who don't have the legal or language skills to understand the immigration process. Asylum status is difficult to gain because of how strong and detailed your case needs to be in order to fit within one of the categories to be considered for asylum or refuge. Even when someone has gained asylum, it can take years for them to be granted citizenship. I worked at a non-profit organization dealing specific with providing legal assistance for asylum seekers, and saw firsthand how tedious the process can be. People wait months to even hear back if their case was taken on or not. Political asylum is not automatically granted to whoever needs or seeks it.
@@pranavanand4305 if they are economic migrants, why would they get legal status in another country when they're safe in their own? I'm not referring to those who get a visa for work or through a lottery system or even a student visa. I'm talking about immigrants who come illegally and how economic migrant is different from an asylum seeker on the grounds they left due to poverty, for example. Violence or fearing for your life I understand is asylum. And although it is a long and difficult road, that's not to say EM gain legal status more often if they came illegally. They have less chance actuall of legal status, because they don't meet the criteria. The original comment referred to legal vs illegal immigrants. So that's what I was responding to.
"Babies are bitcoin..." Yeah, THAT one is universal.

I want an allowance.
“I allow you the lights, I allow you the food” 🤣
apparently immigrant parents have same ways of dealing with issues no matter where they are from.
Definitely, my friends and I have families who have immigrated from the Caribbean, Asia, the Middle East and South America, our parents may have grown up speaking different languages or eating different foods, but they all learned to parent the basically same way.
Strong family,tough upbringing respect the elders pretty much across the board.
@@milosmarinkovic797 Exactly. I'm Nigerian
@Sameer Vadlamani my guess is hes Serbian (from the name, I am too, that's a very typical Serbian name). And yes, there are tons of similarities between our families and all other immigrants. I think americans/canadians/western europeans can learn a lot from us when it comes to multigenerational family ties and closeness beyond the nuclear family. But we can learn a lot from them when it comes to being open minded about careers etc. Basically what happens when cultures mix is that hopefully everyone learns from each other and we all progress further.
So it seems.

My step dad is Desi Indian (I’m Afro latina) he told me after I failed two classes in middle school to just get married when I got older because I’ll never have a good transcript for college. But I knew he meant well, he was they type to show he loved you instead of saying it. He must love me because he cane to every concert, every art audition and the man taught me to walk.
Immigrants are amazing people.
This teared me up.
I love this so much.
Amazing dad
They are your parents.
Love and totally get all of these cultures!❤❤❤I’m a Caucasian immigrant from Western Europe but my parents insisted my four sisters and I play violin, cello and piano professionally-OR ELSE!
Music lessons,weekly orchestra practice, music camps practicing for four hours a day, while insisting we all get straight A’s, winning competitions, conservatory schooling, etc. The constant pressure to succeed was overwhelming. -Thank you for your stories and bringing laughter to so many!😂
"There's nothing that can convince these people to see a doctor." That hit me so hard. I haven't stepped in a doctor's surgery in 4 years and I am honestly unsure if I have a tumour despite being a minor.
Please go to the doctor
Go to the Doctor.
If you think you might have a tumor GO! Even if you are wrong you can't take the chance
Bro pls go to see the doc. We care about you.
Hello dear, I'm an ER doctor. I'm from Brazil (I work at two hospitals in Rio de Janeiro), therefore I won't be able to help you physically, but I will say this: please, go see a doctor. If it is, in fact, something serious, the sooner we can investigate it, the better. If it's not something serious, you'll: 1) at least have some peace of mind; 2) have a doctor who will be your reference for when you don't feel healthy.

Kim All Naturelle Yep. He made a post about it
I'm white and I feel this on a personal level. My mom and grandma tolerated no disrespect. I wouldn't even cuss in front of my grandma as an adult. She was a fiesty old German lady, and she feared no man.
Foreign grandmothers are a whole other level.
Uff I get the German grandma part - I’d never cuss in front of my grandma for fear of the look of disappointment 0.0
My grandma yelled at my dad in German, that's so the rest of the family had no idea what they were saying. My older brother learned German that way lol. Unfortunately, she passed before any of us kids grew up.
My grandma's Irish and usually very soft spoken and sweet. The ONE time any of her kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids (there's a lot of us) ever cursed at her was my uncle, who is her only son, her cherished child, her uncontested favorite child. The entire family stepped back, no one was gonna get in her way to slap him into next week
German is a different kinda white lol
I felt the “I allow you to live here for free” in my soul
So my parents 😂
My dad has PhD in electrical engineering
My older brother has PhD, same major
I have Master......and my dad keeps telling me to learn cooking
Being able to cook gets the girls (or boys) lol. Or you can just do it for yourself, if you ever crave food lmao
@@jasminesmith1038 True.
LISTEN TO HIM.
Being with guys who don't know how to cook, or actusl life in practical ways is like.... nah. Just nah. Girls might think the guy's cute when they're younger, and priorities are generally retarded, but by age 30 etc, the more actual life things guys can't do well, the more infuriating it can be lol. And it tends to be those things which make or break a union.
If a guy can cook, it is honestly such a massive win.
I admire your family though for their drive
I'm sure your father means well. My father carried on the ancient Japanese tradition of men not even being able to cook an egg properly.
My Italian dad was forced to become a doctor; he hated it. I now have much more education in health natural health care and I pity my dad who would have loved being a gardenener.
My mom Came to Canada when she was 8 she grew up with immigrants parents. I look at this way the parents want him to do better than them
I mean... there is nothing stopping him still 🤷🏻♀️
Personally, I enjoy learning of everything and anything.
@@gaaraofthefunk7163 you mean my doctor dad? He has been dead since the 1990s. He died like my mom from a genetic disorder.
@@DrNancyLivingCoCreatively Well, that was still a choice is my point. Sorry about his passing, especially if he never got that part of living.

Eats sausage three meals a day and loves Speedos😂😂😂😂
I felt this bone deep! I'm first generation Puerto Rican and German. I can so relate to the Hispanic and the European comedians. That shit went on in my household growing up and I got both sides of it. Being pushed to succeed is big when you grow up in an immigrant household. And respect is expected or your ass got kicked big time.
Dude when he said they'd check if the coast is clear before slapping you up....I FELT THAT.
But my parents wouldn't even look around. It was so habitual that they'd just slap me up anywhere. I make fun of it till this day, but those are some dark memories I got to live with.
Truth: Asian parents are the last group of people to see a doctor.
Relate to this. 🤣🤣🤣
True, especially of some West Asian, e.g., Arab, parents. :)
we first seek some quack doctor, miracle healer or magical body oil rub for few months then when things go south, we ask our nurse/medical field grad cousins/aunt/uncle/niece/nephews even neighbors.
@@heal423 lol buts it's true my mom broke her leg refused to see dr and than Sunday at 4 am I think I need to go to the hospital
Excrept if the doctor is a relative😂😂
I have Asian/desi mother and an Arab father both doctors, my brothers are doctors and I will be the first non doctor in my family in three generations. Yes apparently law is for the dumb children who were mediocre at bio and chem and sucked at math and physics. So law it was.

Thats so true! I remember when i was like 10 years old when we go to a temple, my dad would tell me to "pray that you will study well and become big doctors"
SO ACCURATE
The Irish Catholic houses being like “We eating? We pray!”, “You have a test? We pray!”, “You wanna get a doll? Pray and God will get you that stuff!”
B-But, first, we pray in English and then, Gaelic. Then English again.
Irish* You must be Irish American lol
@@suqmaddiqq Gaelic is the Irish language…
🤣🤣🤣
@@yeetngreet148 actually we call our language Irish, not gaelic. The word Gaelic is derived from the Irish word Gaeilge, which translated means Irish. Anyone who claims to be Irish and says they speak gaelic might be descended from Irish people, but no actual Irish person would say that. Also, most of us don't speak Irish, English is our first language.
That's like every Muslim family ever too. Pray for everything!!

Hahahahaha!!!!! My family is European and they still do that, too! No real containers, just recycled food ones. I guess they learned recycling and reusing long before it became popular!!!
Coming from a Mexican family, we still do that till this day. Best recyclers ever. Had to find out the hard way between yogurt and chicken broth😂
Cool whip & the margine containers were definitely highly used in our home too!! When as a teenager I finally started working I was always invited to the ever popular Tupperware parties as a single gal I found myself buying Tupperware for my Mom & still complained to me about wasting my $$$$ on that expensive plastic!! Seriously,she got for free from me. Lol

This was hilarious AF just needed an African comic in there. I remember growing up going to my best friends house whose fam was from Ghana 🇬🇭 .

I repeated what she said because i thought i misheard her. I was like half Muslim?🤦♀️😅
I also needed a double take lol what is that, do they pray half the time in a day
One of the parents is probably muslim and the other is of different religion. I know someone who has a muslim mum and a christian dad, and she calls herself half muslim. I know it's weird because it's not a nationality but a religion, but who am I to correct her? 😁

Well, when your parents are from two different religions, it does make you half of each.
Growing up, if you looked under the counter of any auntie, you'd find stacks of margarine/cool whip containers and plastic store bags full of plastic store bags.
