Why Are Latinos Obsessed With Marriage? 

my mom roasted me one time saying "mija, you bisexual, you got twice as many suitors, y todavía estas sola? 😒"

Gadiel is 30?!?!?! OMG I thought he was like 20 something

My mom's already fantasizing about grandkids... I'm 20 and I've never been in a relationship 😂

Whenever my mom and I talk about me having kids, she tells me not to rush. She'll be like "Yo quiero que el padre de tus hijos sea un hombre bueno y no uno de esos locos de la calle." She's not wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

I want more of these videos, just sitting and talking

My mums a hustler she wore a cardigan and trousers to her wedding then went to work cos she ain't gonna miss getting payed 😂

My grandma just straight up came to me and said: do not ruin your life by marrying. Stay single, no kids. You'll be happier that way

I hate the "when are you gonna marry?" question. Man, this isn't 1960-80 its 2017. I havent even gotten my degree yet how am I supposed to support a spouse? work at minimum wage? NO. I get that marriage is nice and all but times have changed. Dating has changed. Why settle and be miserable when you can gain something better? Is the idea of not having a spouse so bad?

See here's the thing with some Latino families. When the girls are in high school the parents don't want their daughter(s) to have a boyfriend because they're young. But when they do they judge him a lot. Now come around college time that's when the parents are telling their kids when they're going to get married and have kids when just in high school they didn't like the idea of their daughter dating.

"Gadiel no me haga abueela" 😂😂

I cannot relate to anyone of y'all. My parents are old fashioned and are hella strict. However, they never mentioned marriage to me. they always pushed me to go to school and continue to get my bachelor's. Once I mentioned that I was interested in a guy, my parents freaked out. All they kept saying was "¿y tú educación?" (and your education?). they care only about me being successful and going to college. Not about kids or marriage

The same as boyfriend. I was 19 years old and did not have a boyfriend because I was living my life but my mom and sisters (I am the youngest) thought that I was gay because I did not bring a guy to the house! It was so funny listen to them from my bedroom all scare talking to each other and tying to look for any clue. Lmao

I'm 23 and I don't plan on getting married ANY TIME SOON 😂 my parents were already married with their first baby by 23!! luckily they don't pressure me about marriage but there's ALWAYS that Tia that asks you why you're still single 😂🙄 times are different and kids are sooooo expensive! I need to get my life together first lol

I remember my mama (grandma) vividly telling me what characteristics to look for in a man, when I was 10 years old lol I'm going to be 22 next month and all of a sudden that changed. She's all like "Mi hija, todos los hombres son basura. Mejor quadate soltera, y comprate una casa". Then there's my mom who thinks it's too late for me to find a man. Basically, that I'm not going to get married because I'm "old". It's all laughable, honestly. Everything about me goes against what my family tells me to do lol I want to get my Masters degree, move to a 3rd world country and provide communities with schools. I want to live my life humbly, and want to have someone who supports that lifestyle, I want my future kids to grow up knowing how to love people, you know? Like if they see someone without shoes, that they would give them their own shoes for the sake of love. It's funny because the whole reason my parents immigrated to America, is so that I wouldn't have to live in poverty. Here I am wanting to go to these places lol Btw, I want to have like 10 kids hahaha 5 biological 5 adopted. #rebel

I turn 25 in July and my mom wants grandchildren and Im single 😒 my brother's both have girlfriends once 26 and the other is 18 and they DO NOT plan on having kids any time soon. We're too young mami we need to live our lives like for real.

maaaaaan, as a Salvadorian! My my entire keeps asking me when I'm gonna have kids instead of the marriage. they say forget the marriage they want they grandchildren from me lol shit 13 siblings wasn't enough already lol gees

I got married when i was 18 and my family was so happy. People thought I was weird except other Latinos. My grandparents want grandkids asap but I'm not ready fo dat yet lol

Just today my grandma was all like when you get married and have kids...and I told her I didn't want any kids, the face she made 😂she was shooketh 🤣

My dad is like that. He thinks I'm never going to date. He says I play to many sports. That I act and dress like a dude... like papi, I'm trying to be comfortable.

jajjaaj mis papás ya andan en la misma onda! "Ay! ya tengo 60 años y ni un nietecito todavía! me voy a morir y no soy abuelo, quiero poder llevarlo al baseball, al colegio!" jajaajajaja!

I'm going to buy a cat and a dog those are the only grandchildren my parents are getting.

I would not pressure my daughter, I respect her decision and standards. It is her life.

I'm with the love of my life and He has always been my everything and my moms like, " when are you gonna give me babies? When is your boyfriend gonna be my son in law?" She already calls him her son in law and she tried pressuring us to get married on valentine's day and its like, " Mom! Let us make our own discussions..." I got a good job now, Thank God! But we just wanna take things slow because we both were in bad relationships before we got together so we wanna make sure we both are fully healed. There's so much pressure in my family to give grandkids the pressure is real.

yes, did my abuela used to say OMG this girl is never getting married. Thankfully I have been married for 21 years one daughter who's 20. my abuela died the day after my baby was born she never saw her. I named after my abuela Felicia!#misshereveryday

Julissa is so beautiful, I love her personality 💜

I'm a child of divorce. Marriage is not a priority I was raised with fulfilling. If it happens, it happens. I have never, ever felt pressured to it. Not even by my grandparents. Odd Latina, I guess.

Tengo 50+ anos, soy china, divorced with no kids. My mother (already an abuelita a few times over) still wants me to get married (and stay so) and have kids. I feel your pain!

I'm Puerto Rican and I get this but my parents dont pressure me cause they never got married but my grandparents kind of do. They expect me to be the one to start a family first since I'm a homebody & stuff. I'm 21 now & they are already planning a wedding with my best friend/crush , Hispanics are funny never a dull moment

I love these guys! And Gadiel's lips though 😻it always looks like he's wearing the perfect shade of lipstick lol

Don't rush anything important. Wait until both of you are 30 to get married and start a family. Go to college and get a master's degree first. Also go to real estate school because you never put all of your eggs in one basket. Build yourself and live.

So I guess latinos and africans have the same struggles!

ill soon be 16 and my aunts are worried cause ive never been in a relatioship. like they at my age were dating and by 18 they got married and had children and i be like: GIRL I WANNA HAVE A TITLE FIRST

I'm Nigerian Cuban. BOTH sides of my family are obsessed with marrying me off

ANY ECUADORIANS HERE ??? 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨

I'm 34 and am currently pregnant. I struggled for 2yrs to keep a baby and my Mom seems to be more excited about finally telling my Tias and Primas about it than me overcoming my struggles. I swear, who cares that I graduated college and have a good job. I think she'd be prouder of me had I stayed home and just popped out babies... I love my Parents but boy do they have different priorities.

I am 43 years old and i still have no desire to get married or have children. I am perfectly fine with my life as is.

YOU GUYS SHOULD DO MORE VIDEOS LIKE THISSS, TACKLING LATINO TOPICS!

I loved watching this not because they were all so honest...especially Curly 😄 but also because as someone from an South Asian background, I could really relate!!

My mom says to “take your time” because when she becomes a grandma she will feel old That girl wanna feel young forever

my mom has step-grandchildren the only grandchild she has from me her biological daughter is a 10 pound Chihuahua mix named Cujo lol

I just don't get it, like why would you pressure your kid like that? Let them live their own life and make their dreams come true, geez. Even if they never get married or will not have kids, it's not a tragedy for marriage is no light deal and people should have kids when they are 100% sure they are prepared and they want them.

I've been with my boyfriend for 5 years and we're actually thinking about getting married. we're both mexicans living in México and, even if my family isn't expecting kids from me, my grandma has been like "you've been with him for quite a while now, so you better get married or move on to the next boyfriend" since I turned 1 year with him lol so YES the pressure is real.

I hear you about the limit. My Dominican grandmother asked me about having kids. For reference, I was 29 at the time, turning 30 in a couple of weeks and already married for a few years. When she asked if I was 30 yet, my mother was like, "NO, Jesús!" like I wasn't basically 30 already. I don't know what mom had in mind... Maybe that becoming pregnant and delivering a full-term baby in 14 days was possible or that she was protecting me in some way. After 30, Dominicans that I have encountered would rather believe that I couldn't biologically have children rather than the idea that I was waiting for a better time to have them. It is all truly wild.

My mom puts so little pressure on me and it's amazing, I'm almost 19 and I haven't even been on a date. It's an odd type of calm to know that I have the rest of my life to make my dreams come true.

I SHIP GADIEL AND JULISSA SO MUCH!!!! WHO ELSE IS A #JUDIEL OR #GALISSA OUT HERE?? ❤

I'm 31 and married. i told my husband and mom to give me a year of marriage before we start trying for kids. my in-laws were great and gave me no pressure. once that one year mark hit i got pressure from all sides. we tried for 3 months and then i told them all i needed another year. I've been getting the pressure since i was 18. last year i had 7 cousins pregnant and I've been going to baby showers almost every month for a year and a half.

My family started asking me when I was 19 when was I going to get married

Why is this SOOO relatable!!! I’m Latina and my mom has been asking me for grandkids forever! And my mom asks me constantly. And I told them to chill I need to get myself right first then I will settle down :)

I remember hearing and seeing other people freak out about it right after 20. Even a few family members would bring it up. I couldn't be phased in the least bit about it! I knew it was foolish to stress out about that at such a young age. Now, I'm a little older/wiser, and in a better headspace to evaluate what I want. The people before you have already lived their lives, they love you and want the best for you. That being said, you must realize you are the one that'll take the consequences of being married. Financially, physically, mentally, time-wise, and space wise. I'm not saying this is bad, but you have to be prepared for it and be realistic. If you and your partner aren't ready - forget it. When it's something both people truly want with each other, it really is beautiful. Take your time, and make the most of life. For the people who pressure you, talk to them, remember "Hablando se entiende la gente."

I see Gadiel, I click .

I must say I'm not even a little Latino but love Pero Like. My culture (west Indian)and yours are so similar but still very different and that's why this show keeps me interested, not to mention I just love to see people living in their truth.

I turned on the English captions to read what they are saying in Spanish and all the English caption says, "speaks foreign language"!!! bitch I know they're speaking foreign... I wanna know what they're saying in Spanish 😂

When I was 31, my father and I had a heart to heart [love roadtrips]. He some how blamed himself for my sister and I not being married. It was heartbreaking to hear him voice such concern and truely belive it was his fault for my sister and I to be such strong independent women. Now I'm 33 and my sister is 31. She and her husband celebrated 1 year of marriage and have a baby on the way. He still blames himself for me not setting down.

I'm Hungarian, I don't speak any spanish at all, but I can relate so much. Hungarian moms are just like this. My mother keep asking me, when I'm gonna marry to a nice man, when I'm gonna have kids ect. I'm turning 24 this year, and when she was my age, she had a husbend for 5 years and 2 kids. :D

My parents ask me all the time when I'm getting married and having kids. I'm 33. 😒😔

I'm not Latina, I'm actually Bengali but our cultures are very similar as I've seen through Pero Like. We might have different languages, history, food and clothes but I see the way boys and girls are raised, the topic of kids/marriage, etc are on the same level of thinking. I'm only 20 but like Curly said, the topic of marriage has always been there even in small ways with the "When you get married" or "when you have kids". I see it with my elder sister who's a few years younger than you guys, but is still getting pressure from extended family. Our parents, however, are more understanding since she got her PharmD so she was in school for so long. But my sister, my mom and I always have discussions on the dynamic of women and men within marriage, both the couple themselves and the family surrounding the relationship. I love these talks because regardless of where you're from, these will probably always be relevant topics

im 25 2 kids been married since i was 20.i never really felt pressured by my family to get married. but ounce i got married the pressure was on to have babies from relatives. my parents told me to wait. my mom didnt really want me to get married young or have a bunch of kids she was kinda proud that i was married for 2 years before getting pregnant . she would brag to everyone.

My mom keeps tellinee went I'm gonna make her a grandmother, and I'm like "mom, I don't have my own car, my own house or even a job, I'm still studying and I'm only 20 so back the F down"

My parents are 81 and my mom is like "no seas pendeja. Go to school, get a job, travel, have fun.". I have a son but my mom always told me Latinas need to stop this idea that they need to get married really young and be baby machines. She had 9 kids so she personally knew all the hardships you have to go through. -------- Is my mom the only one like this??

When My mom was 21 she already had me and now I am 21 and I'm not in a relationship.She is not rushing me of course. Times change.

I'm not a Latina but I can relate. 100%.

I'm 13 and my mom's like weres the boyfriend at😐? I even told her I don't really like anyone at my school. One time I brought my guy bestfreind to my house and my mom thought we were dateing 😂😐

My husband I met young and started having children right away. What we tell people is, travel. Be who and what you want to be first. You can be Mommy or Daddy later. Travel! See the world! Meet people! We do not have any regrets. Life is good! You do you!

So real. I lived with my now husband for a couple years, and my parents would always asked when we'd get married. We got married, and the constant questions of the kids is asked by everyone now. People will ask, and we gotta dodge the question all the time. They'll come to our house and say, "wow, this house is so big, you need kids." Or make weird assumptions when I say I dont drink. People need to stop asking questions, and putting pressure on others. We all have a story, our priorities, our goals. Whether one wants to get married, or if and when to have kids should be one's decision. You do you!

The worst is when you are 22 and already have a professional career. That's when you are pressured the most because it's the next step. I can't use the "I'm still in college" excuse anymore :(

Now that I'm over the age of 30, I've gotten the aren't-you-worried-at-your-age question a couple of times, as if your ovaries magically dry up and blow away once you're out of your twenties. My brother and sister-in-law have been asked when they are having kids several times and it's exasperating for them, because they don't want children. Thankfully, my mom doesn't put pressure on either of us because she realizes it's our lives.

I'm 26 and starting to feel the PRESSURE!!!

That's not a latino thing. That's an old people thing.

i tell both my parents: "are you gonna take care of it if if i pop it out?do i get to give it to you so you can deal with it?because i'm not going to deal with it" so i rather not put myself in a situationi will regret later.... not a peep since then

Marriage is only important if it's important to you ♥️

I love those new graphics!

I love pero like! Keep making more videos!!!!!

I felt the pressure at 20, I'm about to turn 23 and it's gotten worse. I'm chillin' though, I like being single, traveling, and giving my 100% into all the things I want to accomplish.

Hi there! That is really an interesting topic. I am coming from Rusisia ( but Iam not Russian). In my country there are still a believe to get married, the sooner -the better. Everybody is doing that. As a kid we moved to one countries of Europe. So I spend the most part in my life in this country. In theese days I have been in the relationship for almost 20 years. They happened so quick, they were totally awesome, And we are not married. It works for me. I feel safe and loved. I dont think that the wedding ring is a guarantee for happiness. I had my first child when I was 33. Anyway, lika the Curly said, it is good to have an option. And it is up to a every person, it is your life, You have to live it the best way possible. By the way, I love you channel, you make me laugh :))) I wish you the best :)

You see everyone is different! I'm 22 and married 😅 lol You know when you're ready or If the person is the right one for you!

Yes, there's a lot of pressure. Even yet being married and having a kid....we still get "cuando van a tener otro Bebe," "mira esta solito el niño," o "ya esta grande" etc. but my husband and I are pretty happy just having one, we get to enjoy our son and be more prepared for the second one economically. Plus we still get to go out now and then.

My mum doesn't really care either way. Probably because she never wanted to get married or have kids when she was my age (24yrs). But my grandma is always asking me... "When are you gonna marry?" "What do you mean you don't want to?!" "Do you have a boyfriend?" "What do you mean no? Why no?" Love her to bits 😅😙

ive been dating my boyfriend for 6 months and my mom wont stop calling to ask if we plan to get married.

My parents are the opposite. They always told my siblings & I wait until you all turn 30. Under 30's you all are still our babies. But they got married & had us before 30 LOL😂

My dad was never the one to talk me about when I was going to get married or have kids. I think my mom is more about asking me low key. But it wasn't until I moved in with my boyfriend recently, that they asked if I was pregnant. Lol and when I told them 'no I'm just in love and this for us Is the next step'. Then they followed with when and how we were going to get married: by church or court. That's that's when I told them "I'm happy for whatever we decided on. I didn't see myself getting married or having kids. I'm perfectly fine without it. But being with this man makes me want both, if he doesn't want too then fine by me." Btw I'm 26 lol and my parents are in their mid 60s. So they didn't like the idea. But they are coming to terms with it.

Times have changed this is a new era! It's not like before when you graduated college, had to get married, had kids, and that was your life. We can do sooooo much more with our lives man.

I'm 24, married with two kids and it wasn't pressured from either side. We just found each other young and wanted a family. But we're definitely done at 2. No more kids My husband and I have been together since 2011 and we wouldn't have it any other way

Awesome people,my Moreno familier..Greetings from the motherland Africa 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👍

I got married at 19 and had a child at 20. Now I’m 24 and almost 6 years together 💕

My dad was already talking to me about marriage and grandchildren when I was 11 the struggle is real

My great grandmother that I was named after got married at 16, and her husband was 27. Granger this was like the 1910s 20s but still it freaks me out every time I see their wedding photo, knowing she’s my age and was already married, and to a man 11 years older than her and had ten kids.

Yaaaaassssss 👏🏽 the pressure is real

I am from Chile and here our parents are not obsessed with getting us married anymore. Our generation, 20+, don't care about marriage, we care about personal realization, we want to be professional and do things we love, many of us don't even want kids. Something that's really interesting is that in the past when you were 18 or about that age, you were encouraged to leave your parents' house, nowadays you might be 30 and still live with them.

I'm not Latina. I'm Filipina (1st gen CDN), but I think that when it comes to family we're very much similar with of our culture being family oriented. My Lola definitely would like to see me have kids. However, my mom hasn't pushed me to have kids until a couple of years ago (I'm 28). She's said on occasion that she "doesn't want to be an old grandma". The pressure is on for sure. lol.

yes I been married for 9 years with no children and people / family members ask me and my husband all the time what you waiting for to start having dam chill we still mad young with lots of goals to meet.

My aunts have been harassing me with the "when are you gonna get a boyfriend question since I turned 15 (I'm 18 now). My mom used to do the same but she stopped after a while. My aunts keep asking me that and I just answer that I wanna focus on my studies *sips tea in lesbian*.

LOL feeling IT! Im turning 30 in March, my man is 22. He wants kids, I do too, but we can wait. I want to continue traveling. My mom constantly brings up the whole grandbaby thing. She's like, "pues el reloj sigue dando mija, pa el no, pero pa ti si. Se te va a pasar el tiempo." Im like momma chill

I'm Guyanese. So having kids young and being married young was more forced on. My mom went through that... she says dating at 15 was still young, let alone have kids, so she pushed me to finish college first, which I did. My husband (then boyfriend) is Puerto Rican. His family complained: "she is 15, she's a woman, she need to get pregnant and get married." 15 years later, I'm working a great career at 30 yrs old, same with husband. We both have a home, cars and we travel. My Mother in law says I'm not a good woman for giving husband (or her, mostly) kids to this day. My mother is happy that I am taking care of myself.

Not pressure to get married but pressure to start having a boyfriend. I’m 25 soon to be 26 and haven’t had a serious relationship ever. So they get worried thinking I’ll be alone forever but I’m just out here living my life and enjoying it

Ugh when I realized that I A) couldn;t have kids and B) didn;t want kids, it was like there was something wrong with me mentally.

When you're a gay man with a bf who hasn't broken the news to the parents that keep asking about kids/wife 😐

Latinos LOOOOOVE their grandchildren and their grandchildren love their abuelos

I'll be 28 in September and my parents are totally accepting that I'm enjoying my single life... however, my nana and Tata want to be great grandparents and are pressing for info on my dating life and potential options for a sperm donor. lol. my nana is accepting that I grind hard at work and play hard when I'm not, but traditionally, she's expecting me to settle. Haha Idk!

I'm 28 and my fam are starting to ask ... pression is on lol. Good video guys.

My mom's friend wanted me to sign up onto dating apps. I'm only 23 and I'm trying to go to school right now. I would love to have a boyfriend but I am patient. Also the guys I like are always super quiet or shy lol
