Things that only children of immigrants will get (probably)

- don't trust the ice cream tub in the fridge. It's always leftovers.

- don't trust the butter tubs either. It's mostly always leftovers.

- also don't trust the biscuit tin. It's a sewing kit. Or overspill from the junk drawer. Or both.

- the oven is a space for baking second, and a space to store baking tins and dishes first.

- the porch light must always be kept on all night. No exceptions.

- No. Fucking. Shoes. In. The. House.

- don't trust the half empty bottle of water in the bathroom.

- the news must always be on at least TV and whichever parent is watching it must be holding the remote. No exceptions.

Any more?

Don't buy white t shirts. Simply entering the kitchen means you'll come out with turmeric stains

It's so upsetting isn't it. I got into so many fights with one of my old housemates who would wear them through the house even after I'd just cleaned and vacuumed all the floors

I'm only the great granddaughter of an immigrant, but the vast majority of this applies here too, OP

That's why I put "probably" in the title. Covering all bases.

To be fair most of those were experiences that I didn't see my British friends have growing up, and that they didn't relate to when I told them.

Yep we all had our assigned jobs around the house The real question is... Did you ever forget to take the chicken out of the freezer?

And don't get me started on my mates who used to get paid for getting good grades

Better than that, you reminding them of this behaviour and they go "what, me? No way, never ever did that"

Think my Mum's the wrong kind of immigrant...not ticking any of these

Maybe the ice cream tub, but we had real ice cream too, so more a game of chance, but you'd find it eventually!
