[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand your post.  Why can't you see your relatives AND have fun and live your life? Unless visiting with relatives is taking up every minute of your spare time, it doesn't make sense that your parents expecting you to spend time with family is preventing you from pursuing your own interests.  That being said, you can say no sometimes without making this world war 3.  Practice saying "Sorry Mom, I can't make it."  Don't try to argue with your mom about why.  You need to start setting boundaries.  [/quote]

I get what you mean but heres the thing, every weekend when most people are relaxing or taking the day as it comes and going with the flow, Im all tense from knowing I have to sit for like 7 hours and do something I don’t wanna do. Every weekend. And so at times like this when ppl are coming from a different country, its not fun for me. Because its a mental burden[/quote]

Do you live at home with your mother? If not, what would happen if you just didn’t show up? Tell her you cannot be there and then just don’t go. If you live at home, what would happen if you left? Would you get kicked out? Would that be ok with you?

I get having to navigate around cultural norms, but is there no ability for your mom to compromise? What will she actually do if you just are noncompliant?[/quote]
