Oh definitely. I'm australian of chinese ethnicity and it's definitely a running joke in both cultures (and between them :) My grandmother has tales about the epic battles between her grandmother and her mother. It's also a recurring theme historically in the literature, from around the world. Oh, and a newlywed wife I met on holiday left for Europe alone and refused to go home until he moved out of his mother place. So be thankful they don't live with you full time :)
