There are two kinds of parents, normal parents and Asian parents. But that’s not the worst part, the worst part is being raised by an Asian parent. Not only are they really overprotective about their children, they just can’t let go. From plastic bags to old clothes, everybody has to deal with their “I won’t let go of it” phase. And if you have been brought up by Asian parents, then these things are too damn real for you!
You just can’t deny going through these things if you were raised by Asian parents!
