[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m American but my father was from Europe. I was raised to be extremely well behaved. My father was very strict and did not tolerate bad behavior, especially not in public. We were taught to sit still, be quiet, not talk loudly, not play with our hair, or touch our clothes, etc. We were also taught to dress appropriately. And from a young age I was taken to the theater, opera, ballet, museums, church, and on occasion nice restaurants where I not only learned how to be in those environments but also practiced good behavior. [/quote] Same here. I think overall Europeans truly value their children more than Americans do. That’s what I see every time I visit Europe. The worst is how many parents are rushing back to the office so soon after having a baby, especially when finances aren’t an issue. Americans have been conditioned to believe that each person getting their own paycheck is more noble than parenting their own child.[/quote]
