[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American citizen but raised in South Asia. I am finding it difficult since the way I was raised is so different from how it is here. I cannot stand disrespect from kids and it is not something you see where I was raised. It causes a lot of fights in our home. The things my kid gets away with, my parents would have abused the hell out of me for that. [/quote] I'm a born and raised Caucasian American, married for 20 years to an Asian immigrant and disrespect was not tolerated in my house growing up, and I don't tolerate it from my teen and tween. I don't know why this stereotype persists. And I don't abuse them to get their respect. If your kids are getting away with it, that's on you, not American culture.[/quote] +1. I didn't disrespect my parents and my boys don't disrespect us. It's a weird stereotype. Also, Americans aren't family orientated? What? I completely disagree.[/quote]
