How I can relate to BAO.
I can relate to the son/dumpling baby.
I get into arguments with my mother not too often but most of the time its about stupid stuff like eating food I don't like even though the food in question is unhealthy. She (along with my father) doesn't trust me to go hang out with friends, get farther than a few bus stops (which our house has many around it) or go a part/birthday party even if i'm with my brother! She says its because i'm too young even though my brother has gone to birthday parties and hung out with friends even at my age. It isn't fair since i care for my friends and want to come to their birthday party. Of course i mess up too sometimes and upset my mother even though i didn't mean to but i'll take it since it was my fault and i have to take responsibility of it. I always apologise and make up for it like my mother does. Even if i am mad at her she still is my mum and does everything for me. I also help her cook and join her like the last scene.

Normally me and dad often fight about what clothes I pick to wear for a special event. Because I never like wearing actual fancy clothes that he buys for me. But fighting about it just changes my dad's mood for the whole night.

I can relate to the son because i have arguments with my mum and never agree about what she wants. And that my mum wants me to have good grades and that how me and my mum fight but we both loves doughnuts. I can relate to bao as well because me and my mum always workout and play sports. When i want to play my games my mum would never allow me because she thought people where going to talk to me or say swear words to me. when ever i wanted to go outside my mum would never allow me.

I think I can relate to my mum because whenever I try to. Help out or be nice she will still be mad at me. And if I'm in a bad mood I reply back to her with attitude but most of the time I try my best not to reply and if I do reply I get In. Trouble and if I don't I still help her out with the dishes or take care of my sister for like 10 minutes or when she can't deal with it herself she calls my dad and my dad just tells me to be claim and try my best nor to disrespect her

I think i relate to the mum because whenever i try to be nice, or do something for my brother he always gets angry or he's always in a bad mood and never wants to talk to me just like how the son starts drifting away from his mum and starts disrespecting her, but i also feel like the son because me and my parents have little arguments like how the son was leaving his mum for the girlfriend and she didn't want him to leave her, but after those arguments i get upset , but after a while it all settles down with my parents. like the movie when at the end the son figures out how he treated his mother, but my brothers always too busy playing video games, or with his friends. The only time we can talk is when were out but he's still always on his phone, or still in a bad mood.

I feel like i relate to bao because me and my mum often have little fights and we dont talk for a while. me and my mum have small traditions like having ramen every monday and every sunday. one argument led to us not talking to each other for a week but after we got ok again and went back to normal, we had the biggest dinner together which cheered us both up. most of the time food brings many of us together like in BAO, the mum imagined the son as a dumpling and they also had a small tradition like having donuts every time they see each other. But and the end of the day me and my mum/parents always figue out a way to make it better even if its by food or gifts :)

A situation that is related to me in Bao is when I wanted to play with other people as a child my mum would tell me to come back and not play along with other strangers kids, after growing up a bit I started to listen to her and she began to ease my restrictions between friends and I could actually socialise more to people, to have a fun time. Also when I wanted to do a sport my mum wouldn't allow that because I was too young and now during the present, she gives me permission to contribute in to sports which I am willing to do tennis. There is another situation that related to me, when my mum kept on taking me away from having fun, I started to ignore her a bit but myself stopped that attitude, I've became more respectful towards my mum till now. Throughout my life I want to stay intact with my family, to never ever leave them.

Bao relates to my childhood because my mum raises me well like in the first scene when the mum takes REAL care of bao and makes sure that the dumpling does not get hurt. Then second scene also relates to how I started to get VERY ungrateful, aggressive and fat when I was 7 years old.
The last scene relate to me because when mum gets mad at me I come to calm her down and make her less sad, and when I apologize after when I did something bad or Idiotic. One of the scenes that relate is when I was about 8-9 years old I used to not be VERY naughty and not care about my parent's feelings. The very last scene when bao was making dumplings with his mum, dad and gf relates to how I make food at home with mum......

Bao relates to my childhood because in the first few scenes, Bao’s mother is doing her best to take care of the dumpling/ Bao. I can relate to this scene because my mum always tries to take care of me. In the next scenes, the dumpling is trying to do the things that the mother tells it not to. I can relate to this because whenever my mum tells me to do something, I only ever listen to her on rare occasions. In the short film, Bao is always disobeying his mum. In the end, Bao and his mum see each other again and make up. I can relate to this because after my mum gets angry at me she always tries to make up and apologise to me. I can also relate to another one of the last scenes because in that scene Bao is making dumplings with his mum and girlfriend. I can relate to this because I sometimes make dinner with my parents and they teach me how to make some foods.

While growing older, the more I wanted to do something new. But then my parents or family member always ends up embarrasses me in front of other people I have no IDEA about, or their friends thaat I know ever since I was a little child. I find it so embarrassing the fact they always make it worse, no matter what I say or do they still end up doing it. The older I got the weirder to became and got more annoying.
Even with my friends, whenever I'm trying to do something my mum stopped me last minute.
I've grown enough, I just want more freedom to be able to more things instead of being stuck and getting told off for just because my  family is so blind.
To prove I'm relating to the movie,
seeing Bao grow older the more space and things he wanted to with other people then his family. But the mother refuse the fact she wants him to just be with her,
Bao just wants more freedom from his parents

Many times me and my brother tend to fight a lot just like the family in Bao, in the end we always resolve the argument even how intense the fight can be, whether physical or verbal. often we fight now days as my brother can be immature sometimes. Also my parents tend to be overprotective of me at times just like in Bao, they constantly think that i'm not old enough for some things and don't let me leave the house that much, in Bao its just like the same. i don't do much things with my parents as i'm older now and do my own things. i cant go out with my friends alone without them coming since they they think its not safe, my brother is allowed to go out by himself but only short distances, like a nearby park. He is 14. i am not allowed to go out by myself.

this movie relates to my life because sometimes we argue and now since i'm getting older i sometimes get embarrasses when she did something when i was like 7/8 years old. i fell like when you get older you get embarrassed a lot more because your getting older and fell like you can do a lot more without your parents telling you what to do it fells like i have a lot more freedom in life. sometimes my mum can say no to things and sometimes she says yes to like but mostly like in the movie she does not let him do what he want because she want him to be safe so does my mum and i respect that my mum want me to fell safe but at the same time i need some freedom in my life.

In BAO I think me and my mum relate to the mother the most because we would have an argument over unimportant things. One of the arguments were when I didn't want to go to the shopping centre but my mum did so we had a pretty short argument because I didn't listen to her. After a few hours I apologised and she said it was okay, that's how me and my mum relate to the mother in BAO.

During like my 11th and 12th birthday as i'm getting older my mum always embarrasses me and it gets to that point where i disappear into my bedroom. She then proceeds to act like i'm the bad guy and i just always get dad in on the conversation to get mum to stop. i get it she just does it randomly but i need space. Another thing like the movie she doesn't let me go for long and far bike rides because she feels like ill get hurt or something, like i'm 13 she needs to let me do something that i want to do and i can hardly go to friends houses like please mum. But shes a mum and every mum can be like that but these expectations go over the top. But it gets worse my dad just doesn't care like he says yes...............sometimes but not like that he can be strict because he doesn't want me to get hurt but he understands and trusts me because I've showed that i can, and i like that he has, but i wish mum could, Like please Mum.
