Episode 25: Parenting the Parents (w/ Anthony)


Listen Later

Our parents are complicated. The way they behave, think, communicate with us and how they show love can be very unique and confusing at times. Understanding who they are, what they want from us and how we can help them can be really tricky.

In this week’s special episode, we’re joined by another cousin of Mon’s - Anthony. We breakdown our experiences as an ABC, in particularly if there was a difference in the pressures of being the ‘son’ and ‘eldest’ in an asian household. We unpack our parents’ behaviour - their push for academic success, the way they ask for help, show love to us, support us, and how all that has affected us growing up.

Lastly, Anthony advises us how he has learned to communicate with his parents healthily yet drawing boundaries and how he has gone from that child-parent relationship to an adult-parent relationship which we all ultimately want to be at.

Tune in to hear more!
