Q: What's going on with them? annoying

My family knows I only date White men and they knew my ex-boyfriends are white men. Tonight two women came to my house to match me with a Chinese guy without asking me. They talked to my Dad about the guy they wanted to introduce to me and my Dad kept chatting with them for getting the guy's information.

I was totally annoyed and pissed off and shouted to them and my Dad.

Fricking annoying. Why do Chinese people like managing other people's business? Why do Chinese parents do not respect their grown-up daughters' dating Choices? What does it have anything to do with somone being single to them?

My Dad said in a tone likes I can not find a man and asked them to find me a husband? I feel they are so ridiculous. Why would I need two village women find me a husband while I am living in Shanghai? Somehow I feel my Dad is ridiculous too. 

I am young,beautiful and independant. Why would I need village people to find me husband?

I don't know how you Chinese put up with all that crap. I would have ended up doing one of the following if I grew up in China:

 

1) Kill myself (which explains the suicide rate)

2) Kill my family out of insanity (seen plenty of stories on this)

3) Take off and don't tell them where I am (I think this happens a lot too)

 

Chinese families can be extremely overbearing and controlling.

Strawberry66:

I am grownup woman. I am so fed up with those craps everytime I go home. They however can not treat me like normal person. I just find it ridiculous why would I need them to arrange me a Chinese man after I refused so many Chinese men in Shanghai. Some people say I did not respect my parents by shouting to them. He saies so because he is not in this situation. Whats your reaction if you got annoyed evetytime when you back to home without being treated like an adult?

If Vicky is a real Chinese girl I'd be surprised. I think a regular op has set up an alter ego

Such a declaration would likely get you disowned, a win/win if you ask me.

You have no reason to every visit them just never return to your hometown. Perhaps in the future when you are married you can talk with your parents again but for the next few years you should not contact your parents. They will try and make you feel guilty. Perhaps fake illness but you shouldn't return. Until they treat you like a person and not a retirement plan then there is no need to see them. Why do you keep visiting them when they don't even see you as an equal human being. You are just property to them.

Well shining_brow. I think it is because vicky kept posting pointless posts to troll the board. They are downvoting anyone who answers her posts. This post seemed genuine so i thought I would give her some advice.

Vicky,

invite your parents to stay with you for a couple of days in Shanghai... show them your lifestyle (eating, drinking etc..at western places) and let them meet your friends.... show them this is how you want to live, in the big city not in a village.

You can explain (without being obnoxious) that the village lifestyle is behind the times and you like to keep up with the times..  This may change their mind and support you more... 

 

Don't make excuses "they won't come" ...."I can't afford it".. "they won't support me"..etc.

If you want things to change in life, then you need to make things change.

Remember, it takes a lot of wrong turns to get to the right place.

Listen to this story.

 

 My wife have a friend, they was working together long time ago, they meet sometimes, chat by QQ everyday. her friend is about 30years old, little bit less then average looking. Anyway, not bad, but she kept high standards on finding boyfriends. so she was lone long time. until family decided that it is too late and she should marry someone. They find some boy, introduce them to each other, and they decide to follow the path set by parrents. just less then 2 month later they married, and she got pregnant. later on, the guys mother moved in the house and the story goes the that the girls almost daily complain about the MIL bad smell, bad habbits, and as she is going to deliver baby in near days, the MIL not even cook for her, they did not buy single piece of cloth for newborn nor any necessary thing you would expect. girls own parrents are somewhere happy that they have gave out the girl and no need to care anymore - btw, she has an older brother, who has own factory making some plastic shits, wife and 2 kids i guess. after she got married, no one care of her.  I started really worried about her.

 

 So, I fully understand your need for foreigner guy. Btw, my wife also complaining about my finances , but we are still fine. surprise

You want your parents to shut up?

You want them to understand you?

One word: money.
