For some reason, Aunts are the ones who make your life more miserable than anyone else in the family. Not even your own parents can make you feel that bad. They are the dictators and instigators to ever family drama that comes out from every family and coming from an Asian culture, it is even worse. All of the Aunts should be nominees for Best Actress award in the Golden globes. Now let's discuss how pretentious and judgmental they are and how they can ruin the generations after them.

Thankfully for me, I saw a different side of the country and am happy here as I have my  chosen family; my friends. Something that she does not have and all she does is stay at home reading her books and watching the news. She cooks and forces us to eat at proper times despite our schedules and constantly causes me to be late for appointments because of the last minute errands she makes me run even though she knows that I am busy.
