I think my mum came to one of my sports events, maybe two, my dad ... when he was alive, I bet he couldn't even tell you what, if any, sport I ever did. That said, even when I was getting awards for being top of the state in academic subjects no one showed up for that either, I bet if you asked my mum right now she'd have no idea/recollection of it ever happening.

“No-one can make it, everyone’s got something going on.” The most relatable Australian sentence ever to exist. 😂 Edit: I love how you American’s cannot comprehend anything. I said the most relatable Australian sentence ever to exist: meaning as Aussies we can all relate to this at one point. I never said it was only referring to one country. Like honestly, sorry but you Americans are not the only country that matters. Specifically since the context of the video is USA vs Aussie and the quote is from the Aussie part.

My father owned a very large Ford dealership and my first car from him was a 1964 Vauxhall Viva 😂. He did want to give me a brand new car but mum said that I needed to work for it, and she was right. He did later give me a lovely car though, bless him but I waited 9yrs. And he still paid for nearly every car that I ever had, even in my 40’s. Such a generous dad but I was always grateful to him for all that he did ♥️

To be fair a ton of American families buy their kids old hand me down cars after they get their license, and I ton of them give favoritism to the daughters too. Some of them are a bit lenient too with staying out late but those parents are kinda a dying breed. America aren't a monolith (and I never said other Western countries like Australia were).

No matter the country, people like to project the stereotype of the country they're from since that's what people want to see. As an American, it's a shame that it seems Americans have respect for other countries and cultures, but that respect is not reciprocated. I also agree with the person above, that our culture isn't monolithic. My parents never went to a single one of my games, and never bought me a car of any variety

First off, good job with those American accents! Secondly, the family meetings I had growing up were about finances. My family was lower middle class, and with my parents both working in education, we were barely making ends meet.
