WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR FAMILY?
yk what the annoying thing about having a family from balkan is? Everything you do ever since you were a little girl will be judged. Everything you do could destroy the family. Everything you do could damage the reputation. Albanian families will keep their traditions the way they are. It doesn’t matter how many changes the world has made, it doesn’t matter how many more feminists rise, to them it does not matter!! Why is that? Because they raise their children to be anxious. They traumatise their children from when they were little til today. Oh you’re gonna eat more than one cookie at another persons house as a guest? That’s shameful, stop eating! Oh you want to go and play with the boys? You cant do that, you’re a girl that’s embarrassing you will embarrass the whole family!
I always wondered why I knew even as a kid under 10 years old why I wasn’t allowed to play with boys or kiss a boy or be anywhere near a boy.. it’s because of how they terrorise you! Everything you do can bring your family to shame! This is the reason why I understood George from the show Queen Charlotte. I understood his panic attacks of letting a whole empire fall to shit. But his empire was my family. It’s stuck with me now. I get anxious whenever I do something and make a decision. Because I don’t know if it’ll get me in trouble and what the consequences might be.
Of course I’m gonna be absolutely radical and point out that this ONLY and SOLELY applied to girls. Girls are the black sheep of the family. Albanians hate girls. They would rather have boys. Girls are only there to wait on the guests, make food and clean. It disgusts me to my core. I hate the albanian mindset. The way it is still set so far back that it could literally match bridgertons timeline. It disgusts me.
