I noticed that most asian parents have this "role" for their kids.

For example: doctor, lawyer, etc etc etc.

So whats your role? Are you actually going to do it... or are you already doing it?


I don't really have one. My mom just hopes that I do good and have a family. My dad basically wants the same, but says I HAVE to have a son. My dad's dad is the first born male, and my dad is the first and only son, and when it gets down to me, I am also the first and only son.

I don't think my dad cares too much about me having a son, but he just wants to please his dad. My grandfather is the evil one! Its so weird to see someone as old as my dad get yelled at. My grandfather is like 80 something, and I swear when he is yelling you forget his age. He totally ignores my sisters existance. He calls them, "little girls..", not even by name!

Mine WAS to be a doctor. But I wasn't smart enough so they wanted me to do Pharmacy instead. But in the end I wanted to change to Pharmacology since Pharmacy over here in my area is so easy to get in, and I wanted a challenge :/

In terms of expectations, they only expected 2 things:

-Don't be a screw-up
-Don't be a bum

I've managed to do well so far and then some. I think the new expectations are to get married and get my doctorate and get a job. 2/3 should be good enough. Finding good girls is hard work, lol

My parents just want me to be the good obedient daughter. Too bad for them I am more corrupt than they know. They think I'm all naive and whatever but, I am not :\

[itrayya]

the good daughter they can brag about to others, and compare with.

never party with friends.
never dated.
got good grades.
got into a college, getting BA this year.

go to grad school, get Masters.
get good job.
meet a nice asian boy.
get marry, start a family.

that's basically what is set in my parents' mind.

i can live with it.
they arent expecting toooo much out of me.
and it's not anything that i can't do.

ugh.

i mean, i know for some people, it'd be a dream to achieve all those, but just the fact that parents lay the plans out for you makes me feel like a pawn in their life, like they get two chances to live life by taking mine away.

i know they only want the best for us, but sometimes i feel so restricted and so disgusted... that's why i love living away from home. it relieves me of the pressure and at least i can do things here without being conscious of my parents approval/disapproval.

man. no offence to you...

i am destined to be the doctor of the family. got my first doctor kit at the age of four or so. i actually am determined to become a pediatrician. if that doesn't follow through, i'll think of something

[Apsara Dara]

I am supposed to be the following nurse, along with the other girls in the family.
Am I going to follow it? Yeah. But only because I actually want to help people.

What am I currently: Screwup. LAWL.

[charmainee]

Nuthin. I've already failed, in my dad's eyes.
My mum wants me to be happy. <3 And probably marry some rich white guy. D= She's so crazy. xD

[damyoungji]

My parents are usually kidding about stuff like marriage, but when it comes to future careers..
They support my siblings and I on whatever we want to become. They never forced us to become a doctor, lawyer and all those "fancy" jobs.

They are always saying how when I get married, I will definitely have a lot of kids because I love them.
At this rate, they don't see any of us marrying because we have our own ambitions and we are not really interested in love.
My older sibling is a workaholic, my younger sibling is still too young to say, and I am negative about relationships (they don't know what has happened to me).

Um, but my mom has hopes on that if we do get married, we will get married to mixed or Caucasian people since my siblings and I are more on the white-washed side.
