Privacy? What's That? Surviving Asian Family Surveillance isn't for the Weak!

The parenting nowadays have been made a lot complicated because people have been sensitive, crying over little things that only builds kids discipline and personality in the long run.
A lot of people would call you're doing child abuse when you're just teaching manners to your kid but that's the American culture. Where sometimes kids would call you slur? Or won't show respect you deserve as a parent. I've seen a lot of such cases where kids cross their limits mostly in American families But on the other side there's Asians, leave the south Asian beside, talking about china, Japanese, Singapore and rest of Asian countries where parents are strict as hell Yet the bonding is stronger than anywhere else. Wonder why it's like that?

Kids and Privacy in Asian Family

There's no way you'd get your privacy as kid in Asian families like it's common to share rooms and we had like our own system in summer You'd all sleep in the room where you've AC to save electricity, When door is closed someone gonna move in all of a sudden and you can't do anything about it. I've a lore to share that I've been waiting to talk about since some years because it's still hilarious to this day I just remembered what happened with me once that just felt like yea sometimes a little privacy is what's necessary in Asian families.

The time when I had to lock in on bathroom to text her

It was back in the COVID days when I moved to another city with the fam and I had a crush back there where I left, she used to text me a lot and was older than me A bit too old she was in 12th grade while I was in 9th grade. Also like the prettiest girl in the town, so we moved to Karachi from isb in COVID I had my mom mobile, not my own personal phone and on a random day she texted me and that had me thinking if I should reply or just forget about her I did replied and we talked to each other for couple of days. I used to talk in the room while everyone was watching TV outside in lounge Door was never closed so you could see them sitting on sofa in the lounge from your bed Nevermind she insisted for a call and I couldn't think of any location so I went to bathroom Talked to her for couple of minutes maybe 10. Came out and I had those eyes staring at me like I did a crime, those were my aunt's Called me to sit with them and watch TV I knew something is fishy So the moment I was there one of my aunt who's my favourite person in the family said "so you've talked to her, what did she said?" I lost words and realised they know everything and maybe they've also read our texts since it was my mother mobile and they all know the password. The shame I had was something else and I was like laughing thinking about kids who talk about privacy and yell at parents for not letting them close doors. --- Wrapping Up... You can't just escape from parents and family eyes, no matter what you'll do they'll eventually find out so don't complain about privacy Just make memories and live the best days of your life as kid. You'll get old and your parents as well, you'll only look back at time and gonna think about it. So we Asian knows how to live life together as a family, privacy yea matters but even when they're watching you it's just because they don't want you to get yourself into trouble or into bad habits. I guess everyone will agree with it, wonder what's your thoughts on this. Do share in the comments. fin.
