In Greek too. "Το φως των ματιων μου". 'To fos ton mation mou'. Literally the light of my eyes. And, "ματια μου" / "matia mou", shorter "my eyes". Very common in every day language/communication. Have to say "Athenos" was a very astute observation to plug into that routine.
Seems like his dad and Hasan's had a preference for the female child, that caught my attention because usually in latino families parents love the boys more, at least that's my experience
@@ginandromeda1618 in Muslim households it’s the opposite 😂 My grandfathers and dad spoil me since I’m the only girl in the family. You will often hear a saying that translates to “daughters are a father’s way to paradise” ❤ which my dad always says to my brothers when they ask him why he is so biased😂
That’s what my dad told me your man now you need to learn how to properly repair a house as I tried to get my 4 year old finger to properly carry a 2 x 4
This is so real,, my parents never ever left any party or celebration, we’d just have to find a place to sleep or something if we were tired,,, some people will actually have a spare room for kids to sleep in 😂😂😂😂
I honestly didn’t even know this was a thing (parents leaving a party early because of their kids). Prob because I’m 46 and from a Caribbean family lol.
I can go on and on about my childhood as an immigrant pastor’s child, but there’s one memory I will never forget. He would spend hours and hours in church meetings while I would sit on the floor watching the other kids playing their handhelds or home consoles. When I turned 9, he took me to Walmart. I was always envious watching the other kids play the new video games on the tvs (if you know you know). My heart was beating really fast. He told me “You have been doing great in school, and I am very proud of you. Do you want a Game Boy or a DS lite. My heart stopped. I was stuck. Do I ask more than I deserve or settle? I chose the DS, and he said done and done. Went to GameStop, bought me vanilla games but I don’t think I’ve ever been that happy since. Thank you pops.
So sweet! If you don't mind me asking, where's your family from? And when were you born? The DS Lite was also my thing when I was a child, it was so great to get it as a gift from "Santa"
Aw! "You're the light of my eyes." So sweet! I have immigrant parents. Recently my Mom started ending our conversations with "I love you" and it feels weird 😂
I'm Costa Rican. The pile of clothes is too fancy, I would go to my mom and say I was sleepy at a party or celebration and she would say to me "put two chairs together, we're leaving soon". No jacket, but a makeshift bed, and leaving soon was waiting for like, an hour. I would wake up and most people would be gone, the people are cleaning the place and I would have some sort of hypothermia
"Put two chairs together, we're leaving soon" is when it's midnight, your parents won't quit hanging out with their friends in the vestibule after a 8:00 mass on a holy day of obligation and no one's kicking them out because Catholic churches never lock their doors.
Oh Yeah- I'm a WASP child but the same thing happens to us. Been to the chairs, beds and the floor- so it's not always a poverty thing to sleep on a floor on top of a quilt. Did it- when I was much too young to have a bad back.
i'm 27, my family jokingly likes to be mean to each other it's how we show affection, oddly enough. sometimes if i say something like "shut the fuck up" to one of my mum's jokes she smacks me lmao. you will never escape the smacks. my oldest brother is 42 and still gets smacked when he curses around my mum.
@181cameron… Same. I’m 46 and have never uttered a swear of any kind in front of my mom. Closest I ever got was saying “pissed off” and she got so mad I never did it again lol.
My dad and I communicate every single day and he cares about me. He would even say he’s proud of me. But I’ve never heard him say "I love you son". Due to that I’ve never missed a single day without telling my kids how much I love them.
The first time he learned English was the same for me, but clearly both of us speak fluent English and speak a second language so our parents were right doing what they did😂
As a PhD student in Linguistics, I can confirm that your parents did it right. Kids have no trouble learning 2, 3 or even more languages at once and becoming fluent in them all. So, parents have nothing to worry about. Teach your kids your native langauge - especially if is not the main language spoken in the country you live in. They'll be better off.
My parents, who are Mexican, never spoke English at home. At least here in Los Angeles California they had a teacher's assistant who was bilingual in Spanish and English.
My mom went to school in a brick one room schoolhouse back in the 1930's and 1940's. Not a single kid spoke English on the first day. The kids in that neighborhood spoke either Polish or French. They were forbidden to speak anything other than English while at school. They learned English fast. When the kids went home they taught their parents how to speak English.
Which isn't 'way' traumatising for little because KG kids learn to communicate sans inhibitions pretty easily. And in my country where we have 150 languages or something, its normal for everyone to go to school and get their first dose of English
Man I'm whitey, McWhite white and was raised in Australia...I'm Anglo and this is hilarious! My parents also used to chuck us on the pile of coats and 'hostage' us at 5am pissed drunk and drive us home. This is a generational thing peeps! The world over.
First generation kids from Mexican parents suffered in so many Similar ways as Middle Eastern kids. Why? Well we have this Similar Machismo Culture exists in our country. Our parents never told us that they Love us. The language was one of the biggest barriers of all. I was a Translator since I can remember. I would say things in English so my parents wouldn't understand between siblings and friends. So many similarities. EDIT: One more thing, Our Parents Value Boys way more than Girls! Asians can Relate!
@Wendy Regis True to a Certain extent. As time goes on and people age and Pass away. I always hear the same thing, " You know I never said I Love You, or they never told that they Love Me"
Man, I couldnt handle the machismo masculinity of my white family. Most of the folks who subscribed to that became trump supporters. If there is a way for us to have masculinity and culture without it turning into that stuff
Parents telling kids they love them is only done in America. Ironically the same country where filial bonds are the weakest. Coincidence? Family bonds are much much stronger almost everywhere else in the world, for those that haven’t lived or traveled internationally.
Omfg the part where maz jobrani i think his name is, is taking about how Americans tell our kids we love them constantly had me rolling because i have a 7 yr old and that's always his go-to defense when he gets in trouble. "APOLLO! Why did u do that?!" "...i love u mom." Lol. So then i have to say "i love u too but ur grounded dude" hahaha
@@edithdlp8045 my younger half sister who is 20 yrs younger than I does this. She'll do something naughty and when I reprimand her she'll say "I love you and you're fighting me."
Do you all know the Mothers Curse? May you someday have a child who treats You like You've Treated Me! After this comes 2 responses- they either have tears running down their cheeks or they laugh evilly. Either one made me feel so guilty- I would start apologizing- even for things I hadn't considered doing.
I'm both laughing and tearing up at these stories ~ all both funny and touching. Btw, my parents were not immigrants and I still identify with much of this, especially falling asleep at parties. Once I felt sick with stomach ache and was just given a bed to rest on until my parents were ready to leave. It might be a generational thing, too.
If the whole, "Go sleep in the coat room, we're still partying," is an immigrant thing, then the tradition is STRONG 'cause my Dad is third generation and I was STILL sleeping on the coats at 2am on a Friday night.
I'm glad to know my parents weren't the only ones to claim "you're in America" as an excuse to say no to everything. 😂😂 For them --- having working plumbing, bed, heat & food was enough for forever.. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️💯😂😂🤣 (I grew up with no heat, no running water, no indoor plumbing, no stove, or any of those commodities.. just electricity.

@@edithdlp8045 seoul, South Korea Sorry for the SUPER late reply. 80's were different times; especially if you grew up in the slums. (People actually have running water nowadays. Not sure about heat & indoor plumbing.)
Back in the 90s my parents never left the party. The kitchen ceiling disappeared behind a cloud of cigarette smoke. I would just wake up the next day in my own house. Nowadays I'm the parent and I leave the party before dark. Because "I gotta get these kids home".
I said to my Papa, "I love you" in fear. He might look at me in the eyes very sweet but usually he put his hand up and waves something away and says, "Ahhhhghh!!" Let me tell you, he was THE BEST!! I miss him so much.
I didnt speak any english on the first day of school and my parents just dropped me off and if i would say anything that my parents didnt like i would get slapped
I totally remember many moments as a kid where my parents went to friends parties and I got sensory overload after just an hour of being there and always needed to fall asleep.
This is so beautiful. These men have braved strange waters, gone through weird culture shocks and otherness - here they are making it sound cool and relatable. Well done y'all immigrants - you are the backbone of every other country.
When I was a kid I would end up sleeping on the couch with all the other kids. My parents are Mexican and they would never leave a party because we were sleepy.
My Hispanic father would take us to toys r us to look around, he’d also take us to this random furniture store like after mass on sundays to… just look around 😅😅
I think that those parties when you fell asleep on coats were great. I am German. Our parents did that too. Was normal in the 80s. And really: it didn't do us any harm.
To be fair, immigrant dads or Asian dads, in general, are more loving towards their daughters than their sons & it shows!!!😂😂 My dad's Indian and he tells both me and my brother that he loves us so much! which I never realized to date, but my mom on the other hand is a whole other situation who wouldn't even hold ur hand while shopping in case you run away or something ............. she doesn't give a shit... LOL🤣🤣
In most of the asian cultures (south asia, east asia) people are highly emotional and have deep thoughts of love and concern for your families but our cultures do not express those feelings easily. Most of the times if you try to express them in words that would be too much to handle or too cliche! That is why you would rarely see your parents saying you that they love you while they can easily sacrifice everything including their life for your betterment. For us, the feelings love and affection is very severe, so people usually do not or I would say can not express them in words so easily.
You want to marry a white girl that is a big hand. 😀 only an Indian can understand what that ..... You nailed it buddy. Immigrant parents don't play catch..... 😀 Immigrant parent don't say they love you .... 😀
@@adrianmuller6013 Indian parents want their kids to marry an Indian from their cast/relegion and so he is saying that you need to hold your guilt cards close to you for moments like these to guilt trip them into submission.
My parents never did anything so we could "unwind" or anything else! When they had parties with their adult friends, my 3 brothers and I were sent to bed and expected to stay there, which we did! No threats or bribes, just expectations (not suggestions)! 🤣
Omg I wonder if all immigrant parents get education in the same school b4 they come to America? My African parents are just like what is described by all these different ethnicities
Mi husband did not speak spanish when he started first grade in Argentina and he used to name all the fruits in german ...he was like the middle eastern comedian ... and he used to sleep on the chairs in the parties !!
I work a couple of hours a week in school care here in Germany. It's in a school specialised in kids from the village asylum and other kids that need extra help. Recently there were new kids from Ukraine and Russia. Ofcourse, not a word German. But worse, two Russian boys (9 and 10) never even went to school. Can't read or write, can't grasp the concept of being with 300 other kids and mostly sit still every day. Especially the first weeks, google speach translate was a life saver.
Not just immigrants with the 'sleeping on coats at a party' thing - most of my early party memories end with me conked out with, like, five other random kids on a bed piled high with coats.
Yep childhood memories with my dad at home depot up until I was 10 I would always go with him. Never understood y it took so long just to get nails. He would literally drive to home depot stare at nails for 30 minutes then say "well I think they are a little cheaper at harbor freight" . Then get to harbor freight stare at nails again for 30 minutes. Then he would say " they are 10 cents cheaper at home depot so let's go back" lol
Francesca I didn't do that until my parents were rich enough to have their own car- before that it Was " wake up- Aunt Hetty or Uncle Tom is driving us home- you don't want to make them wait!"
I made the mistake of asking my Russian mom to get our nails done like the American nails did....NOT a good idea! She looked at my and began a long lecture of how in her day she didn't have anything and all that....yay immigrant parents!!!!
Bruv the permission slip one got me. Always hated how I was the only one to not go on the class trip. Eventually I got good at forging their signatures so happy ending of sorts. (Legally I wanna say this may not be true because legally me no want to go to jail) (also this might be a joke so uh yeah)
I can't get along with people laughing at having neglectful or cold parents, it's proven to fuck kids up. People who say "Such and such happened to me as a kid and I turned out just fine!" are *never* "just fine"
Comedy = tragedy + time. I don't think people are laughing at the pain, but with it. So many identify with these common human experiences. Laughing can actually make it easier to tolerate the pain.
At least the second guy got an answer that sounds like he loves you😅 I'm Jamaican and everytime I walk up to my mom she says go away, Only told my dad it once and he said yh Going to a home Depot would be fun to me cause I get to look at things I want and can't have😅
"You're the light if my eyes."
What a beautiful thing to tell your child.
There’s a rich tradition of poetry in Farsi.
In Spanish we also say "eres la luz de mis ojos" :) It sounds so pretty
In Greek too. "Το φως των ματιων μου". 'To fos ton mation mou'. Literally the light of my eyes. And, "ματια μου" / "matia mou", shorter "my eyes". Very common in every day language/communication. Have to say "Athenos" was a very astute observation to plug into that routine.
A popular word in Urdu and Persian for that line (Noor-e-Chashm)
Arabic here joining the line of "light of my eyes". 🙂 It's "Noor oyouni!"
It's funny to see that no matter what race you are, or who your dad is, everyone's childhood weekends were wasted in Home Depot.
Shout out single moms :))) no hours wasted at home Depot ..instead it was the nail salon and laundromat
Lol unlike Walmart and target there was no free game section
taking color cards from the paint section can only entertain you for so many trips lol
Or Lowe's 😆
Yup!

Mi husband did not speak spanish when he started first grade in Argentina and he used to name all the fruits in german ...he was like the middle eastern comedian ... and he used to sleep on the chairs in the parties !!
I work a couple of hours a week in school care here in Germany. It's in a school specialised in kids from the village asylum and other kids that need extra help.
Recently there were new kids from Ukraine and Russia. Ofcourse, not a word German. But worse, two Russian boys (9 and 10) never even went to school. Can't read or write, can't grasp the concept of being with 300 other kids and mostly sit still every day. Especially the first weeks, google speach translate was a life saver.
I remember Arden Mall when I was a kid. LOVED IT
I grew up in Windsor too!
The pile of coats is so accurate XD
Not just immigrants with the 'sleeping on coats at a party' thing - most of my early party memories end with me conked out with, like, five other random kids on a bed piled high with coats.
Lol while driving. 😂
Broooo I just sit there and tell my son I love him alll day lol
Asian parents' love is conditional. So true.
10:40 this guy is really funny !
Yep childhood memories with my dad at home depot up until I was 10 I would always go with him. Never understood y it took so long just to get nails. He would literally drive to home depot stare at nails for 30 minutes then say "well I think they are a little cheaper at harbor freight" . Then get to harbor freight stare at nails again for 30 minutes. Then he would say " they are 10 cents cheaper at home depot so let's go back" lol
That feeling you get when you can’t go on a field trip 🙋🏻♂️😫😫👎🏽👎🏽🗽🗻🗺🚌
"go find a pile of coats," 🙋🏽♀️ anybody else
dang we didn't leave parties either, you sleep in the car
Francesca I didn't do that until my parents were rich enough to have their own car- before that it Was " wake up- Aunt Hetty or Uncle Tom is driving us home- you don't want to make them wait!"
I love this
Ali Siddiq is just hilarious
The Sebastian guy was funny
I made the mistake of asking my Russian mom to get our nails done like the American nails did....NOT a good idea! She looked at my and began a long lecture of how in her day she didn't have anything and all that....yay immigrant parents!!!!
Bruv the permission slip one got me. Always hated how I was the only one to not go on the class trip. Eventually I got good at forging their signatures so happy ending of sorts. (Legally I wanna say this may not be true because legally me no want to go to jail) (also this might be a joke so uh yeah)
Got to b real : American Parents of the ‘70’s r just like ALot of these immigrant parents:)
Hasan's therapy incidents are full of Toys r us 😂
As an immigrant dude who grew up in Northern California, I relate to Hasan’s hot takes. Not really hot, tbh. Just straight up.
Maz is the best
My parents never left parties either lol
Lego and weed are the BEST playtime,i'm 37 :)
I can't get along with people laughing at having neglectful or cold parents, it's proven to fuck kids up. People who say "Such and such happened to me as a kid and I turned out just fine!" are *never* "just fine"
Different culture...not cold parents...comedy show - relax n enjoy
In Germany we say (kinda badly translated) "humour means that you laugh anyway". What else can you do but laugh at what happend?
Comedy = tragedy + time. I don't think people are laughing at the pain, but with it. So many identify with these common human experiences. Laughing can actually make it easier to tolerate the pain.
I have slept on a pile of coats!
Its the same exact experiences for African children born in the west with immigrant African parents
Bring back Patriot Act!
Now I understand why my Pakistani bf doesn't give a damn about my birthday 🙄
That's good parenting...modern american parents are the reason why american kids are so entitled.
the problem is they give the kids options now we didnt have options back then it was deal with it or get punished
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
7:25
What grade did he get on that paper?
At least the second guy got an answer that sounds like he loves you😅
I'm Jamaican and everytime I walk up to my mom she says go away,
Only told my dad it once and he said yh
Going to a home Depot would be fun to me cause I get to look at things I want and can't have😅
I’d tell my Persian mom I love her and she’d go “thank you” 😂😂
