well, many asian adults are still controlled by their parents in a way. if you notice, at adulthood, we still have to listen to our parents demands.
but controlling salary and social life... i rarely heard controlled by parents anymore except for spouses. the only friend i heard about this was a friend many years ago...

QUOTE(Redshelf411 @ May 26 2021, 07:49 PM) But to an extent of having the parents take their phones (2-3 siblings share 1 phone), if they work, their parents take quite a big chunk of their salaries, etc. Even the car, for example, the parents may buy 1 car and ask the 3 siblings to share. Can't have boyfriend and girlfriend, and can only be chosen by parents (read: arranged marriage lah). It's that kind of life. If you text or call them the parents will be the first people to read/hear from you first. If they don't like what you send them, they will delete the text message and not really tell their kids. Some of my friends are like that... The only time when I get to talk to them is on Sundays in person after church. Even then their parents are in close proximity so that they can hear whatever you are saying to your friend. Bit much, don't you think? lol that's indeed not a life. but what are ur friends doing then? to us outsiders, it's very something wrong. and if they are already adults, i believe they would have at least strength to change their circumstances. they can choose to say 'no'. unless there is more to the eye can see....
