[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Caribbean-American, and gravitate to European or foreign Moms in general, but I chat with anyone who is willing.[b] It just seems like the Euros are more comfortable having a genuine interaction than some of the fake niceties that I've come across from the US moms.[/b] [/quote]4

spot on, C-A!

I've been trying to explain this to my husband for years b/c it is a cause of friction I see among the mothers at my daughter's school.  Two years ago, my friend, who relocated to Italy, vacationed in the US.  She noticed immediately how many American woman loved superficial conversations - and how easily offended they were if you scratched beneath their glossy lifestyle!

Europeans have a very different way of looking at life, as they call a spade a spade.

My friend was born here but traveled each summer to Italy to stay with relatives.  So she spent half of her life in the US.  Growing up, I found myself surrounded by other Italians - family friends and school chums - b/c we just had more in common in terms of how we viewed life.
