[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. This was simply a post about navigating different cultures as we work to raise our kids - and seeking perspectives on how others are handling it.

I’m pretty disgusted by those of you coming here to hijack this post with your nastiness, xenophobia, and classism. You are dismissed. [/quote]

You have no right to DISMISS anyone!  If you cannot handle your own children - really that’s your fault, not American culture’s fault.  [b]We handle our children just fine for generations.  So well, in fact, that you decided to come here to raise yours. [/b] Perhaps you have something to learn from US, rather than seeking to ostracize your children by trying to raise them as a foreigner in their own country.[/quote]

oh, but they way *you* handle your own children has changed drastically. i mean, every american parent knows this; there are thousands of books on this topic.

they way you, current american parents, currently raise your children might be good or bad or whatever, but the success of the USA as a country bears literally zero relationship to whatever fads you are currently following. it is all a result of the way previous generations have raised their children. you know - generations that, for example, spanked their children; where children obeyed their parents, where they embraced very traditional gender roles, etc etc etc. you are doing the exact opposite of this - it might work, it might not.[/quote]
