[quote=Anonymous]It’s not all Europeans and not all Americans, obviously. But I do see differences (as a European living in the US) and the main difference I think is priorities as others have said: many UMC highly value a lot of extra curricular activities, after school sports etc, meaning that the evenings are very busy and there isn’t time for family meals. That is very different to how I grew up and how we live now. My kids aged 16, 14, 12 do some activities after school but not every day and not all evening (in other words they are not in any competitive sports teams!), they are responsible for getting themselves to and from these activities on the metro/bus (so I am not driving them all over the place) and everyone is home for dinner which we eat at 7:30 or 8pm, all together at the table every night, often with grandparents too.
