My mom said shit like: “[some random friend/relative] is only 21 and already graduated college and gotten married and have a kid (which means presumably they have their own separate house), why are y’all [directed at me and my older brother] such failures?”
Mom: “I grew up with nothing, your grandparents didn’t give us anything, yet look at how much I’ve built [they have like a few hundred thousand to possibly 1 mill USD in assets], why can’t you do the same?”
And funny thing is she also admitted that luck is part of the equation, but then still shamed us anyways…
Like she often points to my cousin around my age that apprantly is doing some bussiness stuff overseas and made millions in profits…
And like
Oh this is funny:
“Look at NYC! An IMMIGRANT BECAME MAYOR! [she’s talking about Mamdani] You came here at 8 years old, why can’t you be just like him?”
New Romanian Proverb: Britain is the land of opportunity, why even one of our locals Charlie, left this small Romanian village and now he’s the King of England!
I read somewhere that like 60 percent of adults under 30 still live with their parents. You should ask your mom how her generation screwed up everything for their kids.
My older brother is 28 and still with us… 🤷♂️
