interesting

since you're not longer living in the middle east how often do you get eat such foods? like does your family make it or is it possible to buy it from shops in your area?
Chan_tan
Chan_tan
Yep

Well I've never really lived there, I've only been there once for a couple of months, but we cook traditional foods all the time! And yeah I live in an area filled with arabs so it is possible to find some middle eastern food but not all of it is from yk our coutnry so it's still kinda different.
I miss yemen so much now 😔😔😔😔

Random question, but when was the last time you've been to china?

Also, if you were to go right now how long would you stay?

Selfmate
ummm...four or 5 years now...
since I've got kids it's more difficult to travel with them

with kids and work and stuff - max of a week I guess since it is chinese new year

Wow, that's a very long time

I honestly am so happy I'm not old (you're not old dw) I could NOT be able to handle all the slimy kids and jobs and stuff.


Also I hate kids. Doesnt matter how old I am I HATE KIDS. you are one strong person to keep up with 2

that's absolutely your choice my friend
maybe one day you'll find the right partner and think differently (or not)
I can absolutely agree that children aren't for everyone

I find the whole idea of staying with someone and a little rat running around absolutely horrible.

I mean yk the partner thing isnt that bad but I hate kids


I like the nice type of kids tho. I just dont like the brats
S
Selfmate
"I just dont like the brats" that's what being a parent is all about lol

no child starts off as a brat...

a child is merely a mirror (if you will) of one's parents - what the parents do reflects 100% in the behaviours and actions of the child

Chan_tan
Oh

My children would be amazing then :dab:

Also, does that mean your kids are rlly wise and say quotes that sound like they came out of a Shakespeare play?
S
Selfmate
no not yet (my oldest is only 6 mate)
but my oldest son is very logical and can sometimes throw my arguments back at me so that's a start

See you probably know but chinese children are suppose to be very filial but what they forget is that it's a parents duty and obligation to raise a good filial child
One of the greatest shames is when children grow up to be assholes since most of that lies with the parents fault

Hes 6??? Wasnt he 4 like a month ago??


That makes a lot of sense actually. I always thought personality was hereditary (idk how ㅠㅠ)
Idk about other families but for us, my parents expect us to be better than the sibling before us. My brothers a doctor, my sisters a lawyer, my other sister did a program which made her able to become a nurse without college and had a bunch of things she signed up for and im....the youngest child 😜
Im not saying this bc I'm pressured or anything bc I'm not but because my parents always teach us to be competitive (in a good way) and that if someone can achieve 70% than you can achieve 71%
S
Selfmate
my oldest is 6 the youngest is not yet one!!! lol

personality is never hereditary but a lot of times children mimic their parents actions since they think that's how one is suppose to behave...

ahhh trust mate the Chinese ain't that different - I'd be disowned if I told my parents that I was going to study like "fine arts" or something like that lol

do you have plans for what you want to do after high school my friend?
Chan_tan
Chan_tan
I feel old now

Idk I always thought it was bc when I see siblings they all different personalities that are mixed with there parents so idk I just thought it was a hereditary thing

Same in a yemeni household, lol. A lot of kids I know dont go to college though. They just open up a deli or something and get married in their early 20s

Idk tbh, i have no plans and i probably should but i dont wanna dtress myself out. I wanna be something in the medical field tho
S
Selfmate
no you try to mimic them since when you are young they are the only person who you had as any form of reference and again when you are young one assumed their parents to be perfect and all knowledgeable...

open up a deli and get married young hmmm....recipe for disaster if you ask me!!!

that's cool but that will require going to college though
Chan_tan
Chan_tan
Ohh

It is, every family has so much drama lol
