[quote=Anonymous]Pp here.  I'm not Cuban so I'm not sure why my friends mother didn't allow sleepovers except to say that it was "not done where they come from" (her words). My friend distanced herself from her mother and her mother's religion because of how it was imposed on her.  It was just done, no questions asked and nothing considered.  This kind of unilateral/"because my culture said so" decision making had negative consequences.  Obviously all parents are different and will make decisions differently.  It is entirely possible that this way of parenting would have a negative impact without this culture clash and would have just manifested differently.  However, in this case it happen to be sleepovers and church as they were the most common source of strife.

Through my friend's experience, I learned that not listening to your children or not willing to break your own rules in favor of a changing world or new cultural experiences can have long term negative implications on your relationship.[/quote]
