Want a better parental relationship? Ask about their best happiest memory at 15, 25, in 30’s 40’s. Can you incorporate(not recreate) some of what you are both interested in? I’m 62 and have a great relationship with my daughter and getting worse relationship with my mom. But mine has dementia. My mom liked travel. It’s like old mom when I take her on a trip she’s amazing. Dad just likes to get out.
what would I give to have a diner with grandma cooking, me sitting next to grandpa talking while watching "question for a champion" (french television show). Those where the days of oblivious bliss I hope to emulate one day for the little ones
When I moved back with my mo tp take care of her, that was my favorite part. No matter how she was struggling that day id get home and she'd have dinner and breakfast ready for me. I miss her so much
My ADHD mum has never met a stove she didn’t feel compelled to walk away from halfway through cooking, burning the crap out of whatever avant-garde monstrosity she was attempting. The last one I remember clearly was canned salmon baked inside of a pumpkin… blackened in her typical “Cajun” fashion, and cursed at, like most meals in our house were. I’m so glad I’m grown.
My parents are still alive, but I miss my mom's holiday dressing (stuffing). My dad used to be able to taste it and know instictively what spices it needed, and it was consistent from year to year. He lost the touch several years ago, and they're getting too frail to do major cooking like holiday feasts, so it now falls to me to make the dressing. I don't get it right, but I'm getting closer.
I don't think I've ever eaten enough of my mom's food to recognize it. I started cooking for myself at about nine and I've probably eaten a few hundred meals cooked by her since. I'm 36 and a few months back she told me that she enjoys cooking. You would not believe the face I made, lol.
I live far away from my parents. Mom taught me how to cook all of my favorite foods she made me growing up. I could never make it taste EXACTLY like her food until recently I made pozole that was spot on. I don’t have the best relationship with my folks but it did remind me of better times with them
Wish I had home-made food growing up that I could fondly remember like this. Everything was pre-made and canned for me. Stuff I can’t ever bring myself to eat again.
also copaganda, even if not American. Also, I'm always wary about the amount of obviously Chinese clips going around, it's lo-fi propaganda on its own.
People having nationalities in videos isn't propaganda. Cops existing in videos isn't propaganda. The intent isn't to soften the hate toward the nationality or profession. Grow up.
China has 1.4B people. Thats 18% of the world. In contrast, the US is 4%. In your estimation, what proportion of videos should there be? Do you feel racist yet?
I know this song is obviously about something but I've never bothered to listen to all the lyrics and choose to believe it's a sad song about the depressing nature of the color yellow.
Sorry, but Fuck. That. Guy. This is a police officer of senior superintendent rank in China (three stars, one bar), in charge of thousands of officers below him. He is very unlikely not to be a supporter of the tyrant regime he is part of. He misses his mom? Good. He is likely responsible for the imprisonment of huge numbers of people who simply spoke out against the regime or who was just in the way. I choose to feel sorry for them missing their moms, and not this piece of shit.
I love my mom. But I started cooking because she can't or won't cook. I still hate crinkle cut fries because she would pull them out of the oven when they were still frozen in the middle. She doesn't believe in measurements or reading instructions. But she has always done her best by me.
Our father did the cooking, he was a trained chef. But all I remember about his cooking is his nagging that we weren't appreciating it enough, or that it took so much time to plan the meals - which resulted in me hating to think about "What's gonna be for dinner tonight?"
If you want to pass on your love if something to your children, you have to pass on your love of the thing, not constant criticism and derision about how they are not doing it right or loving it enough yet. I learned that when I was 12 and my dad’s “coaching” caused me to quit baseball and left him super confused as to why and very upset I’d give up such a wonderful game.
I feel terrible when I had talks with my friends and realized I didn't love my mom. My only feelings toward her are indifference and mild disgust. I mean, she provided for me as a kid, and she was "present", but the drug use took her miles away mentally and she never communicated with me. The shit part is that now she gets super sad and cries because I never reach out to talk to her or make a trip to visit her. Like, damn woman, you never fostered thay type of communication in our relationship.
My mom never really talked to me either. When I went to college, she cried but then whenever I called her, she quickly gave me the, "Well, Imma let you go..." I saw my new college friends talk to their parents and saw actual warmth and affection and I was like, "Shit, is that what family is supposed to be like?"
I was careful to learn as many of the family recipes as I could while mom was alive, and watching how she prepared them. Damned if I can't get that exact flavor, though. I'm guessing it's the lack of Virginia Slims smoke, but I still miss the way she made them.
Overcooked frozen fish and minute rice. Hamburger Helper. Battered fish triangles and French fries. Grilled cheese. Fried bologna sandwiches. BUT, every once in a while, a whole plate of broccoli and cauliflower smothered in cheese sauce. Yum!
My mom has been slowly teaching me how to make my favorites of her cooking. I used to refuse to learn, but then I realized she’s preparing me for life after her. I cried ugly tears that day. Now just enjoy when I get to cook with my mom.
My mom was not a great cook, but I'd love to have another meal of overcooked beef, bland and lumpy mashed potatoes, canned green beans, and overcooked frozen broccoli.
I have been for the last 5 years since my mothers death trying to recreate all the dishes she hadn't gotten around to passing on to me when I lost her very sudden and unexpectedly. It has been a very cathartic experiance and just writing this has brought a lot of emotions to the surface of all the things I wish I got to sya and do with her.
I wish I could give you a big hug because I feel the same way. I’m so thankful that I used to hang around her in the kitchen enough to learn how to make a few meals and every time I make them, I absolutely miss her all over again

I am envious of people who have a relationship with their parents such that they are moved to sadness like this when they haven't seen them in a year.

Tastes just like Moms cooking, after she got out of prison

Just curious how you feel about your own law enforcement
Nathanyel
have you _seen_ what law enforcement does?

Yes which is why I'm asking

Then you should know that you didn't need to ask.

I'm asking the person who thinks there's something uniquely bad about Chinese cops

Me too man, me too.
Weirdly relevant to this: our only remaining connection is that my dad brings me food she cooked.

Same here. Mother was an abusive and racist person who could never be pleased. Nothing but pain and scars on that front.
