[quote=Anonymous]I mean, it's standard for most first gen immigrants. My immigrant South Asian parents used to say this all the time, set the expectation since we were kids. Of course, no dating in high school. Once we went to college, working, et, they had no control. 1/3 married a South Asian person (but not at all from the same part of India, culturally very different), 2/3 married non-Indians. They had to get used to all 3 spouses, it took a second, but they adjusted and welcomed all three. I think a lot of it is just talk - from their perspective, sure, why not guide kids in a direction they prefer? Maybe it would work! It's the same way they sort of encouraged all the kids to be doctors, but they weren't actually going to force anyone to do anything. I never felt like I let them down by not being one. Only rarely do I see a family who actually follows through on any of this, and those families are nuts! [/quote]
