Typical Things Desi Parents Do

Indian parents just have a different way of parenting. They don’t understand the concept of privacy. Dating is not allowed but they believe in ‘marriage at first sight’. We are their ‘baccha’ no matter our age but they’ll also be ready to disown us over a failed test. Their sole goal for you in life is to get rich and give them a grandchild.

But no matter what they do or say, it’s all done with good intentions and comes from a place of love and care. Here are some memes on typical things Indian parents do:

About the hopes of a Desi Dad from his son

“Kal chicken banaya tha na, aaj karela khao”

Good grades are of the utmost importance, no matter the context

You can share anything with your desi parents but no surprises

… but they expect you to love their surprises

Because you might actually say something logical.

“Look at Sharmaji’s beta. He has good grades AND plays for the school soccer team.”

Just an Indian thing!

Ultimately your age defines nothing

You can almost never enjoy anything that involves spending money

And this is what all the noise about Section 377 has done to them

You get caught in the middle of arguments…

… And get disowned by your parents according to their convenience

There is no reasoning with this argument

‘Having no homework’ is not something Desi parents can fathom

Guilt-tripping is every desi mom’s superpower

That moment when you realize what that box of cookies is holding

Warning: Using logic and talking back may invoke ‘The Flying Chappal’ counterattack

We hope you enjoyed these memes and jokes but it doesn’t take it away from our parents that they gave their best to raise us, taking all the pain for our comfort. As much as we all love our parents, all of them have some typical parenting style, so let us know if you have a story to tell 🙂
