[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound very young and naive. I am Indian and actually grew up there.
I used to think the same as you when I lived there but not once I moved here and got to
know American families very well. I'm constantly amazed how much American parents do
for their kids even when working full time. They give up all their free time driving kids to
sports and even taking them on overnight trips for hockey, etc. I don't know any 
parents who would do that in India. I find American and Asian families more similar than 
different in a lot of ways. The difference here is that it is hard not to do assisted living because 
no one can afford full day household help (cook, driver, maid) here. In India everyone has it
so they are able to look after elderly parents at home. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing your insights and not being yet another person who comes here, sees Western culture in negative stereotypes and bashes us without taking time to get to know a number of people and systems well.

I like you![/quote]
