3. Talking about desi parents and not mentioning the flying chappals? NO WAY!!
Therapist: So what do we do when we’re angry?
Desi parents worldwide: Pick up the jutti?
Therapist: No

6. And they would make us eat too until we can’t no more
Why does my plaar think that going for a 10 minute walk after consuming 2 plates of Qabuli Pulao with a kilo of seekh kabab with naan for dinner is going to help him lose weight?

8. Won’t let you marry a Non-Pashtun 🤦♂️
my parents refuse (this is recent bc at first they didn’t care) to let me marry anyone but a pashtun and said I’ll get disowned bc they’re concerned about their honor and what “people will say” if I do lol so guess who’s probably getting disowned 🥰🥰

20. Bet everyone have heard this from their parents.
according to pashtun parents, All mistakes in life are related to waking up late in the morning and using mobile phones..

Jokes apart, having Pashtun parents might be strict at times but don’t they always wish the best for us? They will go to far flung areas, spend their lives away from their families to support their loved ones; so there’s that. They think with their point of view whereas children have their own perspective. In some cases, we see desi parents unnecessarily interfering in the lives of their children. Generation gap is a thing in our households, that’s a fact that our parents need to sink in.
What is the weirdest thing that you heard from your parents? Let us know in the comments.
