Asian mothers and the doomsday mentality

Asian mothers have a doomsday mentality. From the time of your birth till the day that you die, there is an ever dark cloud hovering over you:

'If you don't eat up all your rice, har, your future husband will have pockmarks all over his face.'

'If you don't study hard, you will have no future.'

'If you don't lose weight, you will never find a husband.'

'If you don't it now, you will never do it. Something will happen.'

'If you don't...'

And there is an excitement of feelings - part glee that they were right afterall, part sadness on your behalf - when their doomsday predictions come true:

'See? See? I told you that would happen.'

The irony is, they really love you. This is their language of love.
