10 Motivating Threats Indian Kids Get From Their Parents

Whether we accept if or not, our parents are ultra cool. And not because they didn’t mind us partying till 4 in the morning or wearing those ultra short shorts (note heavy sarcasm here), but because they had their own ways when it came to teaching us big lessons in life. The “Ghee seedhi ungli se na nikle to” proverb was never a problem with them:

1. If you don’t study you’ll have to clean toilets

Bachelor me: Mom please, that toilet is cleaner than my life now

 

2. She got married at 18, we’ll have to do the same with you

Dad? You’d agree with child marriage? :O

 

3. We won’t let you stay in this house once you’re old enough. You have to buy your own place

No? Okay.

 

4.”Kahin muh dikhane ke layak nahi rakha”

That my son/daughter is creatively and intellectually above all you peasants

Only 4 people talk about me? Am I that unpopular?

 

8. Your life will be nothing if you don’t study

Yeah mom, tell that to Dhirubhai Ambani.

 

9. “Laptop se padhai nai hoti hai”

DAD WAKE UP! WAKE UP DAD. WE’RE. NOT. IN. THE. 50s. ANYMORE.

 

10. You only have to work hard for now and then you can relax for your whole life

This was a lie. A DOWNRIGHT LIE.
