Backstory: My mom’s a Korean immigrant who married an American back in the 1980′s and moved to the States with him.
Dear Bad Daughter,
That’s right. You are bad.
Just kidding. For once you’ve done nothing wrong.
Guess what. Today your Aunt Grace came over with Jon and Dana and you know, every time I see those kids I’m glad I didn’t marry a Korean who looks like Grace. I love Uncle Pete, but his kids will always be ugly. You know Mommy is harsh, so if you were ugly you would know. You girls are so lucky you’re not ugly…I think I’d be a lot sadder all the time.
You know, I wonder if Aunt Grace gets sad when you girls visit her. Oh well – she’s a mean person so maybe she deserves it a little!
Love,
Mommy
yikes!

I work with a lovely Korean woman who, at times, can be harsh, but is pretty much on the mark. I’m showing this to her tomorrow to see what she thinks.
I loved it!

hilarious! sounds like a true korean mom; says it like it is. i fear i am becoming one those too.

Sounds EXACTLY like my friend’s Korean mom! You’ve gotta gird your loins when you visit her. She tells it like it is with no concern for tact or feelings.
Secret: I kinda love it, except when it’s directed at me.

Whoa. Bitch.

Haha, man, this is awesome. Turn tact on its ear and punt it out the door, this level of honesty is rocking!

My best friend from high school is half Phillipino and her mother is like this, too. Very blunt. It is pretty hilarious when it isn’t directed at you, though! ^___^ The funniest part is she swears like a sailor as well so she is dropping f-bombs right and left while she is talking about some ugly pants a coworker was wearing. ahahahah.

My (Korean born and raised) mother and I have had this exact conversation at least 50 times. She usually ends it by warning me that my children are going to be ugly because 3rd generation Korean’s are always ugly.

Classic Asian mom! I’m half filipino and I can’t count the number of times I heard things like this from my grandma or aunties…This poster should visit mymomisafob.com to feel even more at home!
