It's a relic of human nature.  Even if it's not true in your family, isn't rather obvious in the grand scheme of things that adult women tend to remain closer to their families than men do?  [/quote]

Spoken like another ignorant American.

This is an AMERICAN thing. I'm Asian and my DH, brothers, extended family....all of the men are close to their parents.

My observation living in the US is that nearly all of your families are broken, dysfunctional,  and fractured. Sons and daughters.  Probably why so many of you have to fill your bodies with antidepressants and anxiety meds. Life is not easy when you don't have a tight knit family for support. I consider my DHs family my family too.. life is much easier when you have dozens of people you can lean on when needed. [/quote]

You sound very needy and subservient. Must be a cultural thing?[/quote]

NP, but as a Vietnamese-American with a Vietnamese mom and an American (GI) dad, you must not know many Asian women, LOL!??

NP the asian girls at work are very close to their own families and their in-laws.  In fact they have very little say in the run of their own lives.  Where they live, what house to buy, what car to buy, taking care of children is heavily influenced by all the parents ie the parents tell them what to do.  They must go to dinner numerous times a week to each family, they must obey what their parents decide.

Sometimes having plenty of hands available can be helpful and sometimes it can be suffocating.  Whilst they all say how great it is, I do wonder what it would be like going through life with no responsibility because your parents are there to make every decision for you.  But then again one told me she was pregnant with a baby in her belly, so maybe it just keeps you infantile through life.[/quote]
