[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an Indian immigrant. Kids were born here.  Since this is a different culture than what I was raised in, I have paid a lot of attention in fostering a very diverse (racially and country of origin) group of friends for them.  In our neighborhood and the schools (public magnets) most of their friends parents are also immigrants from around the world and while they all are from different cultures, in their own ways they are focussed towards the academics, EC family and cultural education of their children.

There is a lot of emphasis on skill-building, delegation of duties, focus on health, academics, collaborative work, learning a foreign language, playing a musical instrument, involvement in sports etc.  Most of the families are UMC and traditional - heterosexual, college educated, married biological parents and white collar jobs.

The emphasis on family, socializing, education and ECs,  coupled with a core group of diverse friends doing leisure activities together,  and the constant supervision of parents - does not leave our children with too much time to get into other mischief.  They are also getting a lot of positive reinforcement and dopamine kick from their own achievements and doing well.

All of this is well and good, but our entire lives are molded to serve and educate our children in a way that they are happy, healthy and succeeding.   [/quote]

Barf. I think I recognize this poster. You keep on bragging about how great your family life is and how great your kids are and how great your social life is.

Your posts come off preachy and holier than thou.

I say this as another Indian immigrant. [/quote]

LOL.  No one can help you if your life sucks.  There are forums to consider if your kid is failing in school, you don't have friends, if your DH is a douche or if you don't make enough money. And no, you are not another Indian immigrant.

Lol, don't like what I said so I am not an Indian immigrant?

My life is just fine thank you.

With your preachy attitude, you would not even realize if your kids were being sneaky. I bet you want your kids to marry an Indian only, one who is a doctor or in IT? Your kids in STEM, not Humanities? Member of TANA? Andhra or Telangana? Mahesh Babu or Pavan Kalyan?

Wow! You seem very  angry and bitter.   Let me guess. Low SES? Dysfunctional family?[b] Product of Halala?[/b]  :lol: Tell me about your background and I can diagnose your mental illness. [/quote]

Oh wow.  I am not this PP, but your statement right here says so much more about you (negatively) than it does about that other PP.  [/quote]

Oh wow. There are many reasons why people are angry. Their background is also a mail reason.  Most venom against Indians (Mahesh Babu? Pavan Kalyan? Really?) comes from several kinds of people from all walks of life.  How can we help this poor person if we do not understand her trauma? We could just think that she is a POS, but in reality she could be a victim of social-religious customs of her community.  [/quote]

Touched a nerve did I, with the Pavan Kalyan post. So, I was right about your background. Unfortunately you are so wrong with your guesses about me.

You are a racist with your halala comment.

FYI, I go to SSVT, lotus and Arcola drive. That tell you what I am?
