6 Most Annoying Things Indian Parents Say

By Bhadra Kamalasanan

Parents at times go over the top and begin troubling their teenage children who are growing up. For starts, they need to realise that their children are growing up, and that they need to give them adequate time and space for growth. Indian parents are the hardest to deal with, and the list of annoying things about Indian parents could go on forever.

Then there are annoying things parents say in India. These statements could be considered to be nightmarish for any child who is growing up.

6 Most Annoying Things Indian Parents Say

At the end of the day, parents say and do all of this out of care and love, but it surely gets a little crazy at times. Let us take a closer look at the six most annoying things that Indian parents say.

THINGS ONLY AN NRI DOES IN INDIA!

Money doesn’t grow on trees
This is the dialogue every single time when a teenager who depends on pocket money has to hear. If he or she needs to go hang out with friends, just to watch a movie or have lunch, then the poor child needs money! And on asking dear daddy, pat comes the reply!

When are you going to marry?
As soon as the boy turns 25 and the girl turns 21, this question makes the round of the house. Out of all the annoying things about Indian parents, this is by far the most annoying. Indian parents want their children to get married at the earliest instead of allowing them to do something with life and achieving their goals.

In our times it was better
There was a time which they always refer to, and that time was by all means the best of times. Every time something goes wrong and they dislike something from your time, you will hear about a time that has passed which was a better one.

Tell us
Out of all the annoying things parents say or ask, there is one where they want you to tell them everything. How was your day? How was your school? How was your job? Why are you sad? Why are you happy? What are you doing? You have to give them a detailed summary of every step that you take in life. This is one of the annoying things parents say or ask.

When you will become a parent
This is a very sentimental one; it just means that you will know the worth of something only when you become a parent. When you become a parent and have your own child, you will know how and what it feels like. This is one of the annoying things parents say.

No One will marry you
Coming back to the essential dilemma of Indian existence, this is a classic that most girls get to hear. If a girl do not take care of herself or if she cannot make good food, then no one will marry her. This is by all means the most cruel thing to say and it is most definitely very annoying. The most annoying thing about Indian parents is that they just don’t leave you alone!

Having said all this, you should know that they deeply care for you, and all these things they say are just manifestation of their love and worrying mind. All the best dealing with them!
