[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had a similar situation, but I'm the nephew.  My sister wanted my then BF (now DH) to sleep in separate rooms because they wanted to set a good example to their then 10 and 4 yr old.  I was 31 at the time.

I told my sister to tell their DD that when they are 30, making six figures and completely independent, they can make their own decisions about stuff like this.  But, until then, they must follow their family's rules.

We slept in the same bed.  And their DD basically lived with a bf when she was in her mid 20s.    She's now married to a different man.

It's not really fair to expect children of immigrants who grew up in the US to follow the old country's values.  It makes it harder for the younger person to try straddle both cultures.

That's not to say that children of immigrants should not have to follow their parent's values, but the parents also need to understand that your children, who grew up here, will absorb some western ideals and way of life.

FWIW, my family loves my DH. They think he's great.

My 2 cents.[/quote]
