Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

The first two things I drank today were a Rockstar Energy drink and a Quad Americano.

It’s far from a guarantee that you’d pass it on. My dad has Aspergers and I’m a fucking delight.

Oh, I’m not worried about passing on Aspergers (if anything, it’s an advantage), I’m worried about destroying my own life and the life of some kid

I may have misread your initial post.

You just don’t know how to 'Merica real good.

If you want to fit in you’ re gonna have to learn to let go of stuff like that. Holler Yolo, make the hash tag sign with your fingers while sticking your tongue out, and pop out a couple of babies named Tyler with a C or what ever you were drinkin when you made 'em. :+1: :grin:

I’d probably be angry at my dad if he threw in creeper pictures with my Christmas present too.

Not for Chinese parents…

One of my close friends allegedly has Aspergers. I mean that’s what he says. He seems pretty normal to me, just a little socially awkward with people he doesn’t know but conducts himself pretty well in professional settings(dinners, events etc). Fucker’s a concert pianist. Talk about stereotypes.

That’s quite typical. I think she thinks both you and your dad overstepped your boundaries when it comes to home affairs, which is HER domain. She’s probably more pissed off at your dad.

People have some weird idea that Chinese women are docile and submissive and all that shit. That’s only true if you’re an asshole like me who also plays poker pretty well. It just means they’ve learnt you respond to the soft approach(åƒč½Æäøåƒē”¬), which is why my wife knows how to fuck with my major trigger point, which is guilt. She tried that flying off the handle shit when we were first dating with me and it didn’t work at all so she adapted her tactics.

If you’re an average Chinese dude, it’s the norm to be scared of your wife. You want a submissive wife, go get a Japanese one lol.

Don’t even get me started on this one… :joy:

Forget family patriarchs, it’s the mother in laws that are in control :rofl:

Lol I can imagine. They only give the man ā€œfaceā€ in front of his peers. When they get home, they get hell from them. I used to live in one of shitty areas with the kind of shitty houses where you could hear wives screaming at their husbands from 10 houses away.

It’s typical. Chinese women are in complete control of the household. Traditionally, the man should be giving her all his finances for her to manage. Even I know when to back off when it comes to certain matters. My mum would clash with my dad’s mother when my dad wasn’t around, fighting for domination over the fucking KITCHEN when she didn’t have to work. My grandfather knew how to sit down and keep his mouth shut.

My dad is the asshole that I am x10 so she was completely submissive in front of him. But I know that when he disciplined me, half of the time it was because my mother diplomatically asked him to in private because I knew that was completely out of character for him when it came to certain matters.

Thousands of years and generation after generation of housewives teaching their daughters how to manipulate men does that to you.

As a mother, I can tell you that if I thought my child was in danger and my husband went behind my back to A) put her at what I believed to be increased risk, and B) undermine my authority in what I would assume would be a bid to win our child’s approval, I would be absolutely over-the-top enraged. If @anna_5588s doctors are telling her parents that these workouts are too much, her father’s behavior is medically inappropriate as well as gaslighting of her mother.

Makes me tense just thinking about it.

I don’t know about her medical problems, but why don’t you ask her if it’s the same when it comes to mundane stuff?

Hmmm.

Yeah. My wife gives me the ā€œDon’tā€¦ā€ over which shoes the kid is wearing.

Can’t imagine what violating a direct edict would do.

It is

Btw, my little bro just got into UChicago!

Oh, I know she views her mom as volatile, she’s mentioned it many times. But this time, I agree with flappinit (wherein he agrees with me, haha):

@anna_5588, congratulations to your brother!

I think her mom sounds like a normal Chinese mother. Her trigger points and reactions are all what I’d expect from one.
