@genesis__sierra: Gotta get this off my chest during Hispanic heritage month lmao And don’t get me started on the “no sabo” because it’s really a disservice to not teach your child Spanish and then make fun of them for it smh - teach your kids Spanish or don’t make them feel bad about it!!!!! #hispanicheritagemonth #firstgenproblems
Exactly why I don’t judge anyone who is a “no sabo” bc our parents clearly failed us lmao

my theory is its because of insecurity that our parents chose to not teach us basic cultural fundamentals. my mother specifically enjoyed being "the smartest in the room" over dumb shit like recipes & proper Spanish words for things. her world was that small, where correcting my pronunciation made her day brighter instead of realizing she failed at raising a child rich with our culture. as an adult, I run laps around my mother over everything she refused to teach me & the things I taught myself that she still doesnt understand.

I bought the “My Dominican Cookbook” to learn how to make certain recipes because my mom always kicked me out of the kitchen. Same with dancing, “you can't dance” you didn't let us go to parties!!

and mind you they didn't bother to teach us because they didn't want to be bothered.

I had asked her how to make a caldo she makes which I love. She's like it's very easy to make how do you not know 🙃 among other things.
The going to church is so real.

bro i literally grew up in el paso 5 miles from the border and my mom struggled so much with the pressure to assimilate that she never taught me how to speak, dance, or cook either. granted she saw what the trump admin is doing from a mile away, but still, i feel so disconnected from my own life 😭

This is why I hate the term “No sabo” it’s the parents who are using the term who also didn’t teach their kids!!!

Tiktok has thought me how to cook more Mexican dishes than my own mother. And dont get me started on dancing, we barely went to 2 quinceañeras and only because my brother and I were a part of the court but no I don't know how to dance 😭 and then they hit you with "En mis tiempos yo así esto y estos.."

My dad tried embarrassing me telling someone I’m a no sabo. I said tell ‘em why. My dad had to learn English for his job. He took classes at my elementary school and we were told only speak to him in English. He conveniently forgot that part.

My mom couldn’t teach me nada because she had 3 jobs to raise us. So I don’t blame her. But when I call her now to give me recipes she says tu no sabes? Am like mom I no sabe and it’s starting to sound like you no sabe
