Mine was from my mother: “Never cry for a man. He’ll never cry for you.”

  • Lmao that’s every Chinese New Year ever. The red packet exchange is just so awkward and weird (IMO) and completely pointless.

    Like Family A’s parents gives Family B’s kid $100 then Family B’s parents give Family A’s two children each $50 (totalling $100). Then when they go home, the parents “ask” (read: demand) the kid to give them the money for “safekeeping”. So… like… wtf is the point. This is why I don’t like the idea of “tradition”, conservatives be weird af. Like, at one point, I just stop caring when they give it to me and I’m like “just give it to mom” lol.

    Red Packet exchange is just glorified Money PingPong games.
