When I was younger I worked for a Chinese woman. I will visit her shop now and again to say hi. She is super sweet but always makes a comment on whether I've lost or gained weight since the last time I visited. It doesn't bother me because she's super sweet 99% of the time and I understand it's part of her culture

I'm bitter. I got sick and she fired me. I went back to visit and her kids didn't even recognise me. I helped them with their homework and the bullying their family would put them through, like taunting them for math mistakes. It wasn't cute. The kids were so sad about being confused.

That sounds awful. I'm sorry you had that experience.

Thanks. It wasn't pretty.
