Do you have parents that dont speak/read english very good, and when your trying to tell them/read them something, they dont wanna listen??? My dad is mexican, and he doesnt know how to read english or speak it very good. when i try to read him directions or something, he's always like "no, thats not right" and all of this other crap. gah it pisses me off, because the directions are right there, and I'm reading them right off of the package, and he still doesnt think they are right. then he does it his own way, and screws it up.rawr...-.-

my parents are semi illiterates, and i am always obligated to help them, well, it just frustrates me when i am in the process of helping them, and then they yell at me for being impatient and... hell break loose

Both of my parents know & understand English, but my dad has a really heavy Filipino accent which makes some of the English words he says sound funny.

My dad only speaks chinese.
And everytime my mom says something wrong or something and I correct her, she's always gives me a lecture and she's all " well, u know perfect english, why didn't you _________? " Argh. |

My father is mexican and he is just stubborn and the same exact way. He does not like when I tell him when he is wrong about something and has a hard time reading himself. My grandfather is the same way.

Yup. I'm not sure if it's different from different countries but shouldn't an imigrant know some english if they want to become a _________ citazin(sp?)?

Hahah yea.. And since I can't speak vietnamese (or chinese), I can't really explain to my mom about anything.. I just have to keep repeating myself in english until she understands.. Once in a while I told my half-sister about the situation and got her to tell my mother, in cantonese. Haha and then she would understand. I don't even bother telling my father. He can read english and understand, but he is always making fun of me whenever I try to tell him anything. I hate him.

it would be "don't speak/read english very well."
 actually, my parents are pretty literate for immigrants.
