DAE have parents that waits til you make mistake before informing you the culture you shoulda already known prior
For context, I was raised abroad since I was a toddler. My parents will literally wait til I fuck up and do things a different way before informing me that this is how xyz is done in our culture. Mind you they didn’t take me to visit home growing up and get more culturally exposed. I actually didn’t step foot back to my homeland til I was in my early 20s. Yet these parents of mine expect me to think and act like I was raised in the very homeland they left when I was young. And they’ll sometimes guilt me for not already knowing.
I literally have to mess up from being cultural ignorance first (in no fault of my own) before they then “correct me” and inform me the way it’s done in our culture that I should have already known years ago. It’s so annoying. And when I ask them why I have to get in trouble first before they teach me, it’s “well we can’t teach you everything.” So knowing that “you can’t teach me everything” it woulda been best to had been taking me home during summer vacation from school in my K-12 days with whichever parent was traveling back home especially when my parents took turns traveling nearly every year around that same time school isn’t in session. But they were too selfish to save for it or even think about that, now I’m paying the price of missing that in my life and having parents that prefer to be reactive than proactive.
