Do not pass go.
2. Your parents often use impressive mind tricks to keep from giving you any money.
Ni¢e try.

Tip from me to you: Your room will never be clean enough for your mom.
4. Your mom definitely got THAT LOOK when insisting you speak to your abuela.
😩📱👵
5. You know the struggle of trying to find a quiet place in your parents' home.
WE'RE NOT YELLING WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

You're doing what... where???

NOT EVEN JUMPING?!
10. Your parents are likely QUITE the comedians.
RUDE, MOM.
11. And your parents always need to be HEARD. (Again).

Where's the butter? Check the OTHER butter container. No, not that one. The other other one.

Love those echimamuffs tho.
14. ...And they do not like it when you try to correct them.
Fine, let's just go to Beber Keen.
15. There are many times when you've been in this classic catch-22.

16. There have been many times you had no idea what your parents were saying, but knew it was probably bad.
All I heard was "break your face," so.
17. Your mom is utterly unable to keep a secret.
NO CHILL.
18. And every Nochebuena, you parents deck the halls with this Yuletide horror...
This little piggy... Bueno, the less said about this piggy, the better.
19. Your parents had a foolproof way of fixing your hair.
💆
20. And, let's face it, you've always made so many sacrifices for your loving parents.
Sigh. It's hard raising parents!
