[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how’s there is already an article on this from the Atlantic.

this is pretty common for a lot of cultures, not just Asian cultures.  Also, this article is about low income people -- restaurant workers, for example -- not white collar workers.

My cousin was left with the grandparents in the Asian country while the parents came to the US to work.  A few years later, they brought their child to the US but, much like the article, they had a huge issue trying to connect to the parents.  They were much closer to the grandparents even into adulthood.

it's a sad situation but one that low income families face across the world.[/quote]

Poor Americans too. Not unusual to be sent to live with grandparents and relatives because the parent(s) have to work low paid jobs with bad or unpredictable hours (overnight childcare is expensive and impossible to find)[/quote]
