[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Asian American, I was raised to see marriage and children as intertwined. Almost like what’s the point of getting married if you don’t have children? So, exactly the opposite of the OP’s subject line. There is something about “partner comes first” that seems a little creepy to me, honestly.

P.S. Not speaking for all Asian Americans. [/quote]

I'm not Asian American, rather an American WASP, [b]but I think WASPs also have this mentality[/b] (same reason why there's not a ton of sappiness and PDA among WASP parental couples, and some tolerance of cheating). It honestly seems strange, and a bit childish, to me when married couples with kids prioritize each other over the children. To me, the children are the whole point. [/quote]
 
No way. Traditional WASPS love to have a good time. This means a heavy usage of babysitters and nannies. You can count on a wealthy WASP to socialize with only adults and enjoy a childfree evening. Boarding schools and summer camps remain popular.  [/quote]
