When I was 17 I had an important Taekwondo grading. My Mum couldn’t come, my Dad, sis, and Grandmas did come but my Grandmas and sis left halfway through because it was taking too long 😂 The epitome of Aussie family culture!
I think my mum came to one of my sports events, maybe two, my dad ... when he was alive, I bet he couldn't even tell you what, if any, sport I ever did. That said, even when I was getting awards for being top of the state in academic subjects no one showed up for that either, I bet if you asked my mum right now she'd have no idea/recollection of it ever happening.
"So we got your birthday, how old are you?" "How do we know you're at Michael's and not out doing other stuff? That's the beauty of it." These are some golden quotes!
Pretty sure no one in my family could even tell you if I went to uni or not, but if one of them could, I'll bet everything I own that they couldn't tell you what it was for.
Is Maccas somewhat of a fancy occasion in Australia, or is this referring more to children's birthday parties? In South Africa some of our Maccas have this massive children's playing space called Ronald's Playspace. Had to google that name
@@danielgrobbelaar9672 - No, not even a remotely fancy occasion. That's the joke, that it is so cheap and such requires little parental effort. Although it does have children's party areas adjacent to the playground.
Nah, it was terrible. Still funny though. Most of the Australian vowels shifts were the same, they just pronounced the rhotic “r” at the end of words so it became a weird fusion.
As a Swedish person, the Australian family version is honestly surprisingly relatable. I think maybe Americans are just the odd ones out cause they really do shit differently over there lmao
To be fair a ton of American families buy their kids old hand me down cars after they get their license, and I ton of them give favoritism to the daughters too. Some of them are a bit lenient too with staying out late but those parents are kinda a dying breed. America aren't a monolith (and I never said other Western countries like Australia were).
Lost it at the family meeting. I remember taking the piss with my siblings when mum said we had a family meeting, laughed our asses off. Turns out they were getting divorced, whoops…
@@Iron_of_man to be fair tho who calls a family meeting? Just be like “oi u little shits get two houses to tear up now” and be done with it like a normal person \s
When I was a kid that was the code phrase for “Mum n Dad are splitting up.” You basically knew that if you heard “family meeting” it meant that someone was splitting up (my pares were very early div’s, so a lot of kids did a stint at mine when their pares were divorcing, I guess because we had the most experience at it lol)
Honestly Australians natural apathy towards showing affection is very difficult to cope with when you’ve lived somewhere else. Though, they’re still my fav people ❤
When my Aussie boys were little, I tried to ground them. It didn't work. They always snuck out. I also once locked his laptop in a cupboard to restrict his internet access and make him do something else, other than being online. He cut a hole in the cupboard and got his laptop out...
Yeah, I'd really rather not make a big fuss about everything. 😂I think it's just part of our laid-back, down-to-earth and non-materialstic culture. Idk we don't really care too much for that stuff.
Getting Any vehicle is brilliant and not expected for the majority XD The Allen's Party Mix was priceless but the beers are going to have to be smuggled inside.

I went to a national wide powerlifting meet. I told everybody half a year in advance. Only my mum came, but left midway (I don‘t even have siblings). I had a girlfriend back then and she also didn‘t come. I won in my weight class, but nobody was there. So yeah, relateable.
“Right so it’s ya birthday how old are ya? So we’re gonna have it at Macca’s, I’ve organised a Pavlova with Cadbury Twix sticking out of it and I’m also gonna incorporate an Allen’s Party Mix in there as well” 😂😂😂😂😂 that is the most accurate and most relatable sentence I’ve ever heard, had me in tears 😂
First off, good job with those American accents! Secondly, the family meetings I had growing up were about finances. My family was lower middle class, and with my parents both working in education, we were barely making ends meet. In our family meetings, my dad would tells us that we would have to be cautious about our expenses and to forgo unnecessary things. I was only a kid and that is what I remember growing up 😭
Man, people’s standard for accents is atrocious. All the vowel shifts remained except they pronounced the rhotic “r” at the end of words and that enough for some ppl to be like, “yeah, not bad.” It was probably the worst attempt at an “American” accent I’ve ever heard. Still funny though.
My American family is a lot more like the Australian one here, but I have definitely met a lot of the depicted American ones. Its a cultural thing but also a class thing.
"Right, so it's your birthday. We're gonna have it at Macca's, I've organised a pavlova with Cadbury Twix sticking out of it - I'm also going to incorporate an Allen's party mix in there, as well." Shit slaps, let's gooooooooo
