All about Chinese New Year (CNY) Discussion (compiled)

[Guest Vengeance]

I have pretty toxic relatives and CNY is here unfortunately, last year during my sibling's wedding these supposed relatives asked me over their table only to be humiliated by them. They kept asking sensitive questions and while i tried my best to laugh it off, one would give this obviously pretentious loud laughter each time a member posts a question.

 

Anyone have similar experiences? After that dinner I told granny I will never show up for anyone from that side of family. Even funeral. And this CNY idk whether i should visit them, to give my granny face or to go there and give them each a piece of my mind.

 

Anyone have similar experiences? Whats the best course of action?

 

[momod]

if they're not nice to you, you dont have to be nice to them.

or you could just tell them you dont like what they're doing.

if they continue, then just dont give face.

 

all the best and Happy new year!

If you are out to Granny, you have to make sure she understands your reasons for not wanting to visit. Otherwise, you should tell those inbreds to go fuck among themselves and leave you alone. Do it for all their future victims too.

[Guest ang bao]

Today i went for reunion dinner, an auntie commented that i came just to collect ang baos. I just smiled and said thanks, but in my mind i was thinking i dont need your money, and if i had a choice, i wouldnt even be here.

Yup, some of my relatives are toxic too, so I decided enough is enough. Why do I have to let myself be tormented? I loudly asserted, I no longer celebrate CNY cuz I don't agree with its values (they are part of a culture of systemic oppression!) Now, with all that extra time to connect, I spend it doing things that I love, things that have meaning...Toxic relatives don't deserve your attention.

There are few things you could do:

 

1)   Find out their fault and being sarcastic about it.

2)  Make them angry with you, by not giving them the auspicious wishing

3)  Open the Ang Bao right in their face and whine about them giving so little Ang Bao money.

 

Once you agitated them, cold war will ensued between you and them and you will unlikely be pestered by them for the rest of your life.   In fact, they would prefer not to see you again ever.  Nothing to lose on your side and your parents will be too embarassed to have you tag along in very family gathering. 

 

[TwoChnBTMs]

ts your choice to make your self happy...just don't ever go and get humiliated.

Not worth such persons make your day bad.

 

at my mums Buddhist funeral my sister asked the Buddhist monks to stop chanting, and gets the church and pastor to storm and take over.

Read my my mums name wrongly.

 

them that stupid pastor asked for $250 to be paid for his song. after funeral my  sister insisted all the donation bai jin contributed by her friends to be return to her. 

 

another sister a Christian took 80% of my mothers assets and now have cancer, she will take all into her grave.

 

both I now no longer in contact even if they die, nothing g to do with me

 

Both habitual Casino visitor, organised by church to go Genting highlands always

Sometimes I think their intentions are good (if it’s about marriage and stuff) although the way the questions come out may seem offensive and pushy to us. I’ve been through it for many years. There’ll come a time when they’ll give up... just chill and politely tell them they’ll be invited if it happens and that they don’t need to repeat the questions. 

 

For me, if I were to be in your situation, I’ll avoid such gatherings and make the reasons clear politely (about being uneasy/ angry with their questioning and that I feel they are intruding into my privacy). Let my grandma tell them about it and to make them know they are the cause of my non-attendance. And I’ll make peace with my granny by calling her and wishing her well, any visit her another time when the relatives are not there. You’ll be sure they’ll not mention about it again subsequent years.

 

Hey, it’s LNY, Happy Lunar New Year!

before i was married i was bombarded with irritating questions and i used to joke with them - only when they allow same sex marriage.  Then after i finally got married they ask when i will have a son - my answer is, i am impotent but my wife still loves me.  Everyone had a good laugh ... and many stop questioning cos they can't deal with my answers ... they were embarassed especially after saying i am impotent then i ask back,,, and your son he is married for 4 years liao right when is he going to have a son?  All those busy body aunties walked away blushing.

[Guest Vengeance]

Thanks for sharing everyone. Happy lunar new year!

 

Yeah think I will give them a taste of their own medicine this time should they do it again. Im aware some people mean well when they ask certain questions like marriage etc. These clowns intention is pure malice, saying things like" oh 20? you look more like 40 leh" followed by pretentious laughter. Funny everyone else actually said i look younger than my age. Told myself id never forgive these people in my life, not after doing that to me at my sibling's wedding. 

[Looksee82]

Wow. That shitty... to call you over and put you on the spot. :S

 

 

[Guest Happy New Year !]

Happy New Year  everyone! For me I know how you feel. I been through it. What I do I still go there after all we are still relative I don’t want to put my grandma and parents in difficult situations. Just play along with the wayang they had. Once a while “swan” them with words than laugh it out. Than say joking only lah. Don’t get angry ya.

[Guest Idea]

Either you serenade them with a lovely tirade or dressing down, out of love and self sacrifice, or rebrand yourself as one of the “plastics”, mingle among them and then get back at them. Be as two-faced, dublicitous as you can, and double-talk, doublethink your way through. Then when you get your chance, using your dagger tongue, sink your withering words into their archilles heels one by one as you sniff out their individual weaknesses during the prior mingling phase. Takes a bit of focus and commitment to accomplish all these, but it is going to be totally worth it. Consider it.

[Guest Hairy plotter]

After the gathering, find ways to back stab at them using rumours and half truths, let them taste their own medicine! You can do this by digging out their tinder, facebook, instagram and linkedin accounts. Feed private and personal details to their colleagues and bosses. Bad mouth them to their dates and significant others. Scheme around. Catfish them. Whatever it takes to bring them down, just go ahead and do it.

[Guest Destroy them]

Become their bff, then turn around and spill their secrets, unraveling their lives after gaining their trust. Use your charms. Be prepared to get your hands very dirty!

Sorry but, what the f**k is their problem?!?!

 

I suspect that they or their parents have some grudge against your parents, and they are picking on you because they think you are easy to bully.

 

If you see them during CNY, no need to tell them off or chat with them. (Just talk to those relatives who are nice to you.) If they (the bad ones, I mean) are your elders, just pretend to greet and wish them (the usual CNY wishes), just to show that you have good manners and are well-raised by your parents.

 

If they are the same generation as you, you can wish them or ignore them. If those people have kids, no need to give their kids any ang pow.

 

I f**king cannot stand such classless people. For me, if I really don't like someone, I just ignore them. I don't make remarks about people's age, dressing, etc. But I have encountered such people like your relatives, during ICT, in former companies, etc.

 

To me, making those type of remarks is like the typical high school "mean girls" type of behaviour: F**king immature.

 

P.S.

Are they picking on you because of your sexual orientation which is known to them?

[Guest I m who i m]

I m lucky. Everyone knows i m gay.

[lonelyglobe]

Cny definitely have lost its value over the years, long time ago yes, they live very far apart or work in different provinces without any skype or i phone, no bullet train and can only meet once a year.

 

People then were poorer, can only afford to buy good food and new clothes once a year but all these are no longer an issue today. Especially here we dont feel the transition from winter to spring, no firecrackers etc, really no mood one, the only reminder is perhaps cny sales everywhere and the precious 2 days ph.

 

Seriously how many are close to relative? If yes, entertain them once a year and if not, avoid them, parent or grandparent can be visited anytime of the year or visit them in the early hour of cny when your relative are not there.

[yuquidam]

To call someone over to their table and then asked personal questions in a social setting with the intention to humuliate is not an acceptable social behaviour and should never be condoned. It's tantamount to emotional bullying and taunting. Since they care less of my feelings neither would I give them face nor do I want to raise a racket. My response would be an utter disgusted look, and with very terse reply in rapid fire (since they looked amused), "What's so funny?! I don't find it funny!  Grow up and get a life!". And look at each of them slowly with those deadly glare in silence daring them to say another word. And no niceties or cordial acknowledgement from then onwards even if we meet in subsequent gatherings, until the day they learn what's acceptable social and civil behaviour.

 

It happened to me only once during a close relative's wake. That same group of toxic aunties never dared look at me in the eyes at subsequent events. They, in fact, avoided looking at me when I gave them that unfriendly and disgusted  look. 

 

If one gives in on the outset be assured there will be repeat incidents of these bullying tactics. When one gives no respect for the feelings of another person then one deserves none in return.

The agitation often the result of "laughter" at you instead of the real question itself. Their intent is to put you down and hope  that you could have a taste of their bitter marriage life instead of being single.  When they didn't get what they wanted out of you, they gave out that witch laugh.

[Guest M16 Secret Service Spy]

Homophobes are insecure inside, thus like to make fun of gays. Trust your instinct to bash open their closets around the reunion dinner table in between the desserts and lou hei. Awkward! But fun to watch their wives and childrens’ reeactions. Try to snoop around online their internet presence for circumstantial evidence of their less than straight sexualities, and have a ball of a time at extorting more ang pao money from them during bai nian visits on day 1 and day 2.

There are two ways to handle such a bitchy auntie: the direct and indirect way. 

 

The direct way would be to tell her: "Oh, auntie, if it bothers you, you can have this back. Don't worry; it's okay. I am earning a good salary and can manage without your ang pow."

 

When you are saying that, smile and looking as happy and cheerful as you can. That way, your auntie will be confused AF as to whether you are angry and being sarcastic, or genuinely trying to help her save money. Either way, she will be put on the spot and won't say such things again.

 

 

The second, indirect way is to pass her ang pow to a trustworthy relative, and get him/her to return the ang pow to the aunt, in your absence. That will cause her blood pressure to skyrocket, and ensure that you get the last laugh.  

 

But this second method will strain the ties between you and her, as women are very vengeful, and will bear grudges for a long time.

If they are toxic event at 喜庆的 events (Weddings), I would suggest don't bother with them anymore. Inform your elders (parents/grandparents) why you are not going to interact with them, then just cut them off from your life. But please know where to draw the line. The aunties may be toxic and evil, but their child(ren) [i.e. your cousins] may not. Don't cut off interactions with them even though you don't like their parents; it's not their fault their parents are evil and annoying. On the other hand, if they also are, then by all means. xD

 

No point putting yourself in misery to please people you don't hold in high regard/respect. 

However, if your grandma requests, then you have to consider how much you 疼 your grandma vs how much you hate those aunties. Will your respect for your grandma overthrow your disgust for your aunties?

 

We're living in the 21st Century liao. Tradition is all in the mind. Follow if you truly believe. If not, just do whatever makes you happy.

Cheers!

[xiandarkthorne]

Haiya. Another of the ways I deal with such toxic relatives is to turn them against one another. They are sure to have passed remarks about one another or their children. Just repeat it loudly so everyone can hear, e.g.

 

Toxic Aunty No. 1 : You still no girlfriend ah? Nobody wants you, is it?

 

Me : Ha ha. My standards very high la. If not, afterwards you say fishmonger's daughter also shiok like Aunty B's son. 

 

(Turn to Aunty B)

 

Me again : aiyo you know ah Aunty B, cannot jatuh standard right? Like you also say what, car salesman only also want to gatai so much like Aunty A's daughter.

 

Then I quietly (and quickly) walk away and leave them to their battle.

 

Mea culpa. Family reunion dinners are so much fun!

[Guest Nasty Young Rubbish]

And you think the elderly relatives are toxic, just wait till you meet some of the younger generation so full of shxx. 

They think the world of themselves since  they are  educated overseas from father's scholarship and at local U and take every opportunity to mock and run elder relatives down and at the same time, without any shame of collecting ang baos from the same person they insulted- just because they believe they are staunch Xtians and therefore God's creatures to criticise and make any insensitive insinuations they like about pink dotters in general. 

One of the confirmed ugly spinster in her 30s  who in her younger days was outright rude,  got her deserved desserts this year when other relatives kept pestering her to show up with a boyfriend. Felt like chipping in that even Ellen would find her quite impossible but of course kept mouth shut to receive good blessings. 

If she knew the eye candies her elder relatives had, she would have to finish off herself. 

Felt really like giving them two big slaps especially when they pass knowing glances as if they are angels themselves.

Ya, so people also moved around touching here and there, even the personal things of the owner.  I think next year must place hidden mouse trap around.

[abang]

I deem it "dim-wit" when annoying people ask me about my personal life.

I reckon they don't have much "intelligence" to discuss political or financial matters.

Hence they have no other options but to bring out marriages et al,

If you have to lie, say your girlfriend is a foreigner and has gone home to celebrate CNY with her family.  And you will invite the noisy people to dinner once she is available. (which will never be).

True that. For me, I have a choice to decide how I want to react to them. And often I shape my response by first reflecting if their comments/ questions are borne of ill-intent... and usually I realised it was not. 

 

But I do acknowledge the repetitive nature of the questioning can be rather irritating...

ps: I think it’s not just a Singaporean thing, but an Asian thing...
