Unless you mean what is my opinion in slurping haha. I'm not sure

People make fun of underweight people also.

I mean if slurping is fine, a no-go, or expected.

funfact,in some parts of asia, slurping your soup is apparently a way to compliment the chef and tells them you're enjoying it

Depends on how the loud the slurping is.

Like that

From what I know and hear, people assume that underweight people need to eat more but some can’t put on weight at all

Ah, well people over here tend to mind their own business. So when someone here doesn't, they are seen as quite the annoyance. Like, you find a lot of these people in city centres

The anxiety makes the food burn faster...

Nothing annoys me more than a crying child on a 40 minute bus journey. Which I just have to grin and bear if I forget the earphones.

I walk around in public with a permanent frown so people dont approach me

I often see crying children but that's beacuse I usually see the parent hit them ?

I remember one time,a mother hit her child upside the head and was like "See what you made me do?You should have listened to me."

I see crying kids bc they’re throwing a tantrum over their parent saying no

Oh god. No I don't have that. I just know there some parents who let their 5 year old scream at the top of their lungs on public transport and not say anything.

Tis why you raise your kid bilingual

Or the kid kicking the back of your seat and the parent not noticing...

If they misbehave, whip out the other language they know

I’ve seen it work many times

Oh I never thought of it like that

Then again idk what the parent is saying

And using the full name

The secret weapon. The second language

Sometimes, embarrassment is punishment enough.

Even the threat is intimidating.

I hate it when I'm out and I see parents screaming and swearing at their kids

Like. I don't pretend to know how hard it is to be a parent and all, but still...

It's possible to scold w/o raising one's voice.

No need for the whole neighborhood to hear it.

No need for the whole neighborhood to hear it

One thing that firetrucked me up for sure was having a parent with an explosive temper

(A lot of family issues we’re going on at the time, this family member doesn’t have a temper anymore but I still get worried by it)

Ah, that sucks

My mother was scary enough without needing to shout ?
