I've been dealing with intrusive questions and microaggressions from my relatives during all extended family gatherings since primary school, so I have learnt to cope.

Just got to smile, don't pay heed to their words, and enjoy the bak kwa and pineapple tarts :s13:

The outside world is cruel. Family and extended family is suppose to be help each other when faced with the outside world and not one up against each other. If this break down you will be alone in the world.
SUPPOSED TO?! :s13:

Except for your own parents, you want your non-direct blood relatives to give you that level of support similar to what they would do for their own direct bloodlines?

I think there's a limit to naivety. :s13: History had consistently shown and demonstrated over and over again that even blood cousins would not hesitate to kill each other.

Ya. Some people just don't dare to admit that not every family member or relative is a healthy or supportive one.

To them, related by blood = everything automatically must support and maintain relationship no matter what, regardless of the other personality or behavior or agenda.

This is friggin' epic bullsheet.

I wouldn't wanna tar every family with the same brush, but all govt needs to do is to implement another HMPV Lockdown similar to COVID SEE BEE lockdown.

Except make it 1yr.

Before lockdown, people will be harping, "家有一老如有一宝!I got big big family under 1 roof, we all supportive and naise towards each other! I lub moi family deep deep."

During lockdown, "他妈的 DIAM DIAM LAH!!!!! 吵死人啦!!!!!!!!!"

Oh wait. Didn't that already happen during COVID when the ultimate ugly side of "big family under 1 roof" actually showed their colours?

Bro. Thousands of years of History has shown that Chinese is more prone to backstabbing and wars.
