[quote=Anonymous]Probably these people don’t feel close to you. It would not be standard to bring up “real” things about kids, such as concerns of parenting issues, with colleagues and casual acquaintances. You need to get to be close friends before you will hear that kind of thing and then only with honest open people. They need to trust you with their vulnerabilities. Re: negative things, I wouldn’t comment on other kids anything but positive. Most parents are sensitive to criticism about their children and worry about how others perceive them. In general Americans keep it positive because that is considered to be a sign of strength. Showing vulnerability or real struggles would be done to indicate to the other person you want to let them in a little closer. Hope that helps — I am Asian but raised here.[/quote]
