Your parents sound like mine, except I'm not Asian. My mom is an athiest, and always openly ridicules Christians...which is so damn irritating. My parents don't compliment me until I say: WOW IM REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO COMPLIMENT ME. And even then, they have to say: Well, you did good, BUT...
Also, my mom has ALWAYS compared me to other people. "Why can't you play piano and teach young kids like Wendy did? You know, you should have a better personality and you'll go farther. You know, So-and-so's kid is going a very pretigious college; if you got better grades, so could you!" (Except I get very good grades...)
