Being the youngest of 9 gets pretty hard.
There's the pressure not to make the same mistakes your 8 older siblings made.
The pressure to be better.
The pressure to be the best of the best...

But coming from a Hmong family with parents that are traditional...
My personal life gets very messing.
Who I date, when I date..

=___= It gets complicated..

Off-Topic / I went on my first date last night..

« on: September 01, 2014, 09:35:59 am »Message ID: 914039

It's was a very different scenario for me. He asked my mom for permission since my parents are very traditional Hmong parents. My dad did not really approve when I had told him, but my sister couldn't tell if he said in Hmong "No" or "whooa"
so to be safe when he asked my mom we ended the night early.

But for starters he spent the whole day with my family because we had a BBQ. At first I was teasing him about coming because I always do.. but then all my older siblings invited him. LOL so he came and was awkward for a very long time. Then he went home and picked me up later for a movie date.

He's not my boyfriend, but.... He paid for me. my last boyfriend didn't even pay for me and it was matinee. I'm not saying i'm relying on him to pay, but as new as this unofficial boyfriend of mine is to the concept of a relationship, he was off to a good start. He was really nervous and honest about how he was feeling.

To be honest I was nervous at first, until i realized how nervous he was, and I found it really cute so I got comfortable. LOL Tried to make it comfortable for him as well. LOL We watched If I Stay.. But half way in i realized.. Too many kissing scenes!  I FREAKED OUT.

But then at the end we laughed it off and he sent me home because my early curfew was nearing, and I didn't actually have my dad's permission. But all in all, this was my first official date. It was different, but nice.

Thanks everyone! I did fine, although I will have to say most of my answers were made from process of elimination.

It was difficult. It was alot more specific than I imagined.

When I was growing up, there were a lot of sibling arguments/"fights".  Me and one sister were opposites, just couldn't see each others' side of things.  That changed when we both landed in college.  I got their first and after being removed from the house, realized how petty some of the arguments were.  She found the same thing when she moved out.  Then we actually became friends - although we still acknowledged that we were 2 different people and if we were stuck together for too long would still get on each others' nerves, but we knew it was due to just being 2 different people and we'd need our space - nothing more.

Give your sibs time to grow up a little.  Try to avoid the drama as much as you can now.  A lot of this is you gaining a new perspective on things having been outside the family at college - having removed yourself, you now have a wider perspective your younger sibs don't have just yet.  Give them time, most eventually come around once they leave the house too.

Yeah I started to feel the same way after going away for college last year, but.... The whole waiting for them to grow up is a little hard... Because I'm the baby and everyone else is older than I am.

So I have a midterm this week, but I only have 2 days until then. I feel so unprepared...

they are all Multiple choice T/F questions but... SOmething about that freaks me out more than if they were short answer questions.

At the same time I'm pretty sure I will still be baby sitting full time until then.. =__=

Dont know what to do.

Some people feed on drama and they're bored if things are peaceful so they push each other's buttons.  Personally, I find that behavior emotionally draining; which is why, I choose to live alone where I can dictate what happens or doesn't happen in my personal environment.

Good luck with it all. 

Thanks! yeah totally understandable.

I mean I get it I really do, but sometimes I just think that all the my siblings argue with each other about is just... Unreasonable. There is no reason to take things so far.

These past few weeks being home while taking summer school.. I've been fine but now I really am starting to get fed up and tired of it.

I don't know.. I just know I'm tired. I mean I care about what they all have to say, but the question is do they care? -__-
