Will They Ever Understand? A Conversation No Desi Family Has (Ep45 | Sponsored by Hulu's Deli Boys)

Part 2 of the conversation nobody wants to have — but everybody NEEDS to hear. They're back. And it gets heated fast!

SPOILER: They don't agree. They never do.

This episode is brought to you in partnership with the all new season of Deli Boys, now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers #hulupartner

In this episode, Mama Jee and Wajeeh go deep on the cycle that runs through every Desi household — the unspoken expectation that kids owe their parents something in return for everything they sacrificed. They talk about why kids feel like they can never do enough, where the guilt of living for yourself comes from, and whether this cycle ever actually breaks.
