Being a modern Vietnamese mother
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- I have been with my partner for several years now and by Vietnamese standards it’s already pretty late to become a mother. But I’m actually still debating whether I even want kids. And because I have many questions about motherhood, I decided to turn to a first-hand source - my sister - to find out what it’s like to be a mother in today’s Vietnam.

Your sister is awesome. I like it when you include your family on your videos. I did not know much about Vietnam before subscribing to your channel. You have done a great job educating folks on your culture, food, and family life.
Aw, thank you and thanks for the kind words about my sister!!
@@uyenninh I echo Michelle's statement so much. I feel like your videos are helping me understand my in-laws a bit more every day, too. (I feel like there are probably some south/north differences still but it at least helps me understand a few things!)
@@uyenninhso in Vietnam you let your sons choose a wife yet in the US we enable our daughters to decide the virtue of the elderly through an outfit, a look a lot of assumptions and a medical degree.
@@uyenninhthank u so much for your channel, I love this channel and it truly has kept me going at times and I can’t believe we actually have so much in common. If you ever come to US, or your family, I would love a chance to meet you and your company. Sorry if this is too forward, I just feel deeply for my roots that I know are all over but particularly more and more I see how close I am to those who are close to you and thank you so much for the joy u have brought to my life. Have u ever heard of an American name Margaret Hvasta? She was my grandma and descendant of Hungarian archduke and archduchess
I strongly agree with you :)
Your sister is adorable. I love her answer of “I wanted to enjoy husband and wife life before having a kid” Your momma has very smart daughters.
Yepp❤
In Canada, it is illegal in job interviews to ask if women have boyfriend or if they plan to have a family or any questions that may lead to discrimination in the hiring process.
Same in USA.
Same in Italy.
Same in Estonia. I was surprised to hear that it is legal in Germany.
@@katie18976actually it's also forbidden in germany. I'm really sad she got asked such a question...I never was asked if I have a boyfriend or plan to get pregnant
In Germany it's also illegal, if you get asked this kind of question at an interview, you're allowed to lie
Can we take a moment to appreciate that she is respecting her sister’s privacy, by having her off camera, but still participating? I love how you like to incorporate your family into your channel, but respect them, and their boundaries 🩷
So yeah what's big about it
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 it's extremely rare. That's what's "big" about it.
@@DarlingMissDarling so yeah what's rare about it
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 To respect privacy. In today's life where people film tiktoks in public locations without even considering the people who don't wanna be filmed, it is refreshing to see such thoughtfulness and respect given to people who want to be private.
Great interview, Uyen. I am an Australian Mum with 3 sons. The pressure was on me to have a daughter because it is the daughter who is traditionally close to the mother and takes responsibility for the care of their parents. There is a saying 'a son is a son til he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life.' That being said, I am very close to my daughters-in-law and my sons are the most loving and caring men you could ever meet.
That’s so interesting! I’m an Aussie too and my parents had only girls. I don’t know if people were rude to my mum but they were to me!!! They’d say how they felt sorry for my dad and go on about the family name and things like that. Maybe it would’ve been better if we weren’t around other Christians so much? I’m not sure though. You’re right about that tradition but even so people made comments about how we’d never be able to provide financially for our parents in their old age or how we’d be too busy with our own kids. You can’t win!
My dad always says he wanted girls but he often used to complain about how he didn’t have a son to talk to about cars 🙄 Even though I was interested in them as a child. He made other silly comments so I don’t really believe he wanted girls. Luckily my extended family never cared! I used to stay with my grandparents and they were so kind to me, I often wished I could live with them instead! But they were much better grandparents than they were parents
@@EmL-kg5gn People can be thoughtless. Having watched many different family dynamics, I can't say one is better than the other. You love all your children and you get back what you give.
My feeling as an Australian is the 'dream' is to have one of each. A boy and girl. And any extra is just a bonus.
Do people not realize it’s the man’s genes that determine the sex of the baby? It’s a biological fact, and it’s horrible when people put that stress on the person carrying that child.
@@phoenixgirl70 For me it was the pressure of tradition. You know, one boy, one girl, but when you are dealing with superstitious cultures, science does not come into it.
Uyen seems like the best and most wholesome type of mother to have.
Yup but who's gonna be the bad cop?
There is no need for bad cop, there is just need for rational parents, and that means they will both be "bad cop" when is needed strict leadership for child in some way.
Seems you know her very good based on some tiktoks
yes!
It's amazing how fluently your sister speaks English. Was it her husband who filmed you crossing the street in Hanoi? When he spoke, he sounded like a native speaker. So impressive! Thanks for sharing your cultural and personal take on having children.
Yeb that was her husband 😊 He used to study abroad
I need to know which clip contains vietnamese brother in law :D
@@VPhan-io6wv it's the short where Yuan is wearing a long tan coat and the caption is similar to Returning to Vietnam after 4 years in Germany
He spoke pretty good for a Vietnamese but to call that native speaker is stressing it a bit. You can still hear the Vietnamese accent and I think he would be less fluent if it wasn't prepared lines.
@@christiechung9039you must be really fun person to have around
In my country it is considered lucky if you have girls. As my great grandmother would always say... It was not guaranteed that a boy would have many children, but girls will always make the family grow. My great grandmother had 9 daughters my mom is 1 of 7 daughters I am 1 of 5 daughters. By the time my great grandmother passed out family she had 36 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren and 15 great great grandchildren.
Woow where do you live? I've never heard of that. Your grandmother is right tho.
@@11iamuyam we are from Hungary, but I believe the Czech Republic and a few others all value daughters over sons. Not all sons will get married and have children, but daughters will merge all the families together.
That's lovely 😊
@@adriennereitz98 I live in czech republic and here it mostly doesn’t matter, but my friend’s parents definitely prefer their son over daughters😢 It’s sad, cause even in my vietnamese family isn’t that obvious
#global_warming 😆
A child's biological sex is determined by the chromosome the father contributes. I wish more people understood it is the father who determines the sex, instead of telling mothers to have boys.
Actually... The chromosome is one factor 😊. Mother's egg can also influence which sperm goes in ;). So it's sort of a mutual decision 😂.
My grandmother gave a reprimande to a woman, who asked me when I planned to have children. My grandmother asked the woman if it had ever occurred to her that I couldn’t have children. It’s very rude to ask woman about their planning of children.
Did your grandmother have fertility problems? I mean obviously she had at least one child, but I ask because it seems like it's those with fertility issues that think it's rude - at least here in the states, I don't know about other cultures.
I don't think it's rude just because the intention is rarely to hurt someone's feelings. It's usually meant as a light, sweet question, even complimentary sometimes because they're implying that you'll be a good mom or dad.
Intent is the deciding factor on whether or not something like this is rude, in my opinion. 😊
@@angiew2324 no I had fertility problems. She didn’t know, but maybe figured it out. And it is a question that’s not easy to answer. Especially when it’s asked on a party for example.
@@jannetteberends8730 Ah okay, well I'm sorry to hear that. I can definitely understand that if it's something you don't want to be reminded of or feel like explaining, I imagine it's difficult.
It is simply rude, no matter what intention the person asking has. Plus it shows that the person asking is either not capable of taking other perspectives, ignorante or naiv.
Following that logic, asking any type of questions should be considered rude because literally everything may hurt other people's feelings and you don't know their situation or sensitivity level.
It healed my inner child a little bit to hear about your sister's progressive parenting style. I grew up with traditional Vietnamese parents and I would have loved if they had implemented a lot of the mindset that your sister had :)
I'm from the states, but my mom is from Peru. Each time I was pregnant she hoped for girls (which they are), she said I shouldn't think about ugly people too often or the baby might resemble them (genetics?), didn't want me to see scary movies or be told stressful things because she thought it could cause a misscarge, and said I should dance a lot for health and to encourage the baby to have a happy personality. No idea if these thoughts are common throughout Peru or just my family.
im adopted from peru and i met my birth mom a bit before i found out i was pregnant and she was just like that and yes i did all those things ur suppose to not do bc i didn't believe it and thought it was stupid. Needless to say i got humbled when i delivered bc i had to have a emergency c section when i only planned for regular birth.
Lol for some reason, your username and your comment go so well together. I find it adorable! lol
She’s not wrong about stress!
It all sounds like pretty good advice 😊
Greetings to the wise people who lived and living in Peru. They are real gems for our world.
For anyone interested, recent research has changed the recommendations for clogged milk ducts. They’ve found that it’s related to inflammation, so strong massage and heat are no longer recommended. As far as I can understand, they now recommend super light strokes when it comes to massage, taking anti-inflammatory medication, and using ice - not heat.
This was the real talk. Thanks to your sister for giving us the truth about her experience as successful buisnesswoman and a mum in Vietnam. And in addition: Her english is better than mine. All the best wishes for your sister and her family.
Uyen, I love your channel, I am an English teacher in Hanoi- this video is helpful for me to be able to understand my students better. Cảm ơn chị giúp tôi nhé 🥰🇻🇳
Your sister seemed awesome! She seems like she is a very determined but very laid back person and sometimes it is hard to be both.
Honestly i think you and german bf will male amazing parents. If you two approach kids they way you handle each other, you will have such a loving family.❤
I think the problem would be solved if cultures would give up this absurd idea that only sons carry on the bloodline. All daughters carry on the DNA in the same way. And if she marries and has children, the children can also keep the woman's surname. These are simply patriarchal structures that cause a lot of suffering. If you can mentally free yourself from them, you can solve a lot of suffering. It's that simple.
Exactly! Because of the bloodline issue there’s no gender equality especially in the Asian countries 😢
Most people nowadays can trace their lines longer through maternal lines.
The Cham are mateilineal, rest of Vietnam has confucian influenced patriarchy.
Amen! Patriarchal structures make zero sense to me and they are useless to same sex couples. I don't even see the point of taking a partner's surname, and I like countries and provinces where it's illegal and against feminism to change your surname for marriage, like Quebec and France
My middle child’s kids all have her surname
Very thankful your sister felt like sharing her life with us! Children aren't in my life plan but I love when they are for others and hearing their stories and so much of what your sister went through with her birth was very similar to my mother when she had me. I love these videos with your family so much, Vietnam is such a beautiful place c: Also not only is your sisters English great but her baby is adorable. Wishing them all good health and good luck
There are really lots of similarities between Vietnam and the Philippines. When I gave birth, my mom and MIL forbid me to take a bath for 1 month!!! But i cleaned myself with a washcloth (with soap and water) every day to remove the dirt and to keep fresh. I also couldn't lay down with my feet towards the electric fan because they said the air might enter my system.
Babies are also not allowed to have a haircut until their 1st birthday. And yes, grandparents help with taking care of the children esp if the parents are both working. Grown up children, particularly the daughters, are expected to take care of their old parents and sometimes, parents in law. But i don't expect that from my kids coz they have their own lives to live.
It's really frustrating that society still expects a lot from women even if they are working moms. Fortunately for me, my husband shares the household chores and childcare. But some wives are not that lucky.
I was just surprised that maternity leave in Vietnam is so short. In the Philippines, it's 105 paid days with additional 15 days for solo parents and an option to extend for another 30 days without pay.
Anyway, i'm glad your sister shared her experience with us. I always find it interesting to learn about the culture and practice in other countries.
Looking forward to more videos like this
Legally, the maternity time in Vietnam is 6 months long and the mother can take it at anytime she wishes. However, many women only take shorter leaves, either because they need to bring in money, to keep her career going during and after the pregnancy, or simply because it's the company's unwritten rule.
Your sister has a really really calming voice. I could listen to her for hours on repeat.
My dearest Uyen, you are one of the most authentic person no just on youtube but IRL as well. Privileged to have come across this channel.
This was such a wonderful interview of your sister; I can see why you are proud of her. She is so accomplished and having a family and juggling a career is so difficult for women, I am glad that you were able to speak with her about this. There are so many expectations for women to be excellent at everything and we all feel that we have failed. I am glad that you are thinking seriously about whether or not to have children. I feel so privileged to have some insight into your life, your experiences in Germany with your German bf. Thank you for sharing all of this!
watching your videos is so soul-healing and wholesome. Growing up as a viet kieu my parents held onto their traditional vietnamese views which brought along gender stereotypes and roles. This plus growing up in a predominately white nation put a lot of pressure on me as a kid as I did not agree with some of my parents views and systematic racism made it difficult to fit in, in general. But relating to you and your sister's genuine experiences growing up in vietnam gave me insight into the pressures that my parents had growing up. I really admire you and your sisters role in breaking the stereotypes e.g. being a youtuber and a business women as it showcases that women can be anything while highlighting how inequitable current day society still is, like no one would ask a man when they are planning to have kids knowing that it is a personal question but to women genuine respect is disregarded because it has been normalised for so long
Loved listening to your sister! Her perspective on motherhood and life is very interesting! And she articulated it really well. I was imagining of all the interesting discussions four sisters will be having at home!! It's always great to have such sisters. I also have 3 sisters!❤
I would love more videos where you interview your family or friends in vietnam- it's really fun seeing the conversation between you two :D
Yes! I wouldn’t have minded if the whole conversation was in Vietnamese, too. I love hearing you speak in your native language with each other … but I would need subtitles 😅
But your sister‘s English is great! I had no difficulty understanding her, she seemed very comfortable
Thank you to your sister for appearing on the channel! I really appreciated her insights as a working mum. She seems lovely!
I feel like Uyen should make podcast idk why but her voice is easy to understand and calming
Thank you to you and your sister to share these rather personal information. I wish her and her family all the best 🍀
I agree with your sister! Breastfeeding was SO HARD! And so shocking that something that is supposed to be natural is so difficult.
Thank you for having your sister on your podcast. She did a great job and was very interesting. It is always fun to hear other people's perceptions on different topics.
very rarely does breastfeeding just happen naturally without any struggle! it takes guidance and practice ❤
Breast milk is triggered by natural birth (contractions and giving birth) but it also needs help by constant pumping. All those thing are telling the body to start producing and to produce more milk. In Uyens sister's case, she had C-section and is also first time mom (the stress of making breastfeeding work as a first time mom)
Demand is important to have supply but pumping isn't necessary. I've been breastfeeding non stop for over 4 years (I briefly tandem fed when my second was born) and have barely pumped that whole time. Nursing on demand is sufficient. Not saying breastfeeding is easy, though. I did need a lot of help, especially to get started with my first! So glad I found a good group at a local hospital with and amazing IBCLC!
Pumping isnt necesary at all. 4 breastfeed kids here including 1 csection. Never touched a pump. That's not even something discussed in any breastfeeding classes I've attended.@christiechung9039
With my first 2 being a stay at home mom was easy to feed on demand the last 3 i had it was a struggle im older i had to pump i had 2 c section and a nic u baby. Definitely not easy
@@s.c.2424exactly! Nobody was pumping hundreds of years ago. It's just a modern convenience.
To Uyen’s sister- thank you for being brave & sharing with us. I know the internet can be a scary place at times.
I wonder if the bf will marry you?
To add to the pregnancy superstitions-
- you're not allowed to eat Gỏi đu đủ (papaya salad). They say it can cause early labor.
- after pregnancy you're not allowed to eat anything cold. My mom would say if I do then I would get arthritis when I'm older 🙄
- eat goose eggs daily if you're having a girl so they will come out beautiful
- after pregnancy, you should drink/eat black chicken herbal soup. It's suppose to help with the breastmilk.
What a lovely video! Your sister's english is fantastic and her thoughts about the future of her children and why she had them was amazing to hear. I feel the same and fortunately for me, my parents are largely of the same thought. I want to give my children the best life and ensure that me and my wife are able to support ourselves (financially) in old age so the children don't feel the need/obligation look after us. Invest in yourself to have future financial security and from there invest in your children to help them with a good start when they're adults.
It's really wonderful hearing your sister's perspective! Mothering is so full of ups and downs and it's really amazing to learn what it's like in Vietnam, especially for such an accomplished Vietnamese woman. Your pride in her career was adorable. You two are so fun together, on any topic! ❤
Hi Uyen Sister 👋🏾 thank you for sharing your perspective. It was nice to hear Uyen say she is so proud of you. Hope to have another interview with you in the future ❣️
Great video. Thank you and your sister for sharing her perspective on Motherhood. It's always a pleasure to learn about other cultures and traditions💗
And thank you to your sister❣It was very kind to let Uyen interview her ...always very interesting to learn more about your culture! Uyen and German boyfriend will make fine parents if they want a child.🤗🤗 ...and yeah!! to girl families .!!
Your sister was wonderful! Thank you for sharing!!
Tell your sister thanks from your viewers! She was really informative, and interesting. Actually, I would like to have learned more about her life. I hope she will make another appearance on your channel in the future!
Love it when you include uour family in your videos, they seem so supportive of your channel.
Your sisters English is really good! I get shy sometimes so i understand where she's coming from but honestly you both speak fluently.
Your sister's English was very good and very easy to understand, she was awesome. And I found the topic really interesting, so thank you to both of you!!
your sister is so cool! She is very well spoken
I love watching you, fiancé and family. Sweet!!! Thank you for sharing both cultures. ❤️🙌🏼
I don't usually comment in anyone's video..... but gotta say this .... your sister is adorable 🥰
Thanks for bringing your sister on and sharing both of your experiences and perspectives.
I loved this interview with your sister! It's so adorable how proud you are of her and her career! ❤
your sister sounds so nice, like a really comfortable and fun and interesting person to be around
Thank you for the video and thank you for your sister being willing to share!
Breastfeeding is hard. I found using a breastpump, self breast massage from thr collarbone down to the nipple whilst in the bath, drinking plenty of water especially when breastfeeing helped a lot. The using a manual breast pump on obe breast whilst I fed my baby on the other was the number one reason I didn't have as much issues with clogged ducts. I did have one time when it was very painful, but I managed it will all the methods mentioned above after research, and I didn't need medical intervention.
That is the problem with breastfeeding being a societal taboo. We have no idea until we have just given birth and are trying to figure out breastfeeding for the first time! Some babies have attachment issues, too. It's a steep learning curve! Particularly if you are prone to mastitis, etc. Learning to read your body, and self care is vital!
Stress and anxiety can also impact producing breast milk. I live in the US. When I went back to work after my leave and during my times to pump breast milk I would sing songs to cheer myself up so I can produce more milk 😂.
VIDEO SUGGESTION: Hey Uyen, could you do a video were you ask your family about how you have changed in their opinion since you moved to Germany? Greetings!
Thank you for sharing so openly. It's interesting to see the similarities and differences 👍
Having my mother-in-law around when I had new babies was a life saver. Having children is much less stressful when you have a good, trusted support system.
This has all been very interesting. I appreciate your sister's taking the time out of her busy work/mom schedule to explain so much to us. Ironically, far from answering questions I didn't even know I had, I now want to hear more!
The dynamics of how, exactly, the parents and in-laws and her husband help out intrigues me. I have the image of a beehive in my head.
The mentality is more of "it takes a village to raise a child".
This was really interesting. It was great to hear from your sister. Her English is very very good. Please thank her for sharing her experiences and her thoughts on the channel.
This was so interesting! Many thanks to your sister for doing this interview!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us sister. You sound very inspiring and I wish you all the best in your life.
Fantastically done by your sister, such enjoyable content as usual
Your sister did such a good job! I was able to listen to the video without problem~
And it was very informative. I found it highly interesting!
Love your videos where you include your family. I have learned so much about your country from you. Keep up the good work.
Thank you to you and your sister for sharing about your culture and yourselves. I enjoyed the video! And congratulations on the new addition to the family!
Thank you for talking with your sister about motherhood and parenting in Vietnam! I find it so interesting how other cultures structure families and life in general.😊👍❤️
i am native american and the vietnamese family support is similar to my family. growing up, my grandma would take care of me, it was the same with my mom and her grandma as a kid.
Two years when my sister gave birth to her son, me and my mom stayed with her for the first week, helping her, cooking, cleaning and watching the baby. my sister lives in another state so we couldnt stay long but my grandma had moved in with my sister and still now my grandma watches over my nephew (her great grandson).
how you described general german society, that is similar to general american society. but in my culture (navajo) we are different than general american society and U.S. culture. of course we are americans but because we are a culture within a culture, everyone is a little different. people are just different but its nice to see things in common :)
motherhood across cultures, be it american, german or vietnamese omg the expectations of women going through motherhood are too high!
This was such a wholesome video! As a mom it's insightful to hear from other moms. I also love your relationship with your sister!
Your sister seems like a very knowledgeable and caring wife and mother! Interesting to compare motherhood from two different cultures 🎉❤
It's nice to hear different perspectives on this topic! Glad you included your sister :) Hi sisterr
Thank you Uyen's sister for sharing your experiences and thoughts on your journey of being a mom, I appreciate it a lot and you spoke English very well! I found very wholesome the ending, wishing your child to be free and expore the wolrd if they want to and letting them have the choice of sticking to the Vietnamese traditions or not. I enjoyed the video a lot, I wish both of you prosperity in your family. 💌
Thank you and your sister for such an interesting interview! ❤
You're sister is MINDBLOWING! You go girl, do your thing and my highest respect for doing things your way. I applaud you and support you from far far away and your English is awesome!
Muslim’s have a beautiful tradition. When they have a baby they cut the baby’s hair and weigh it. Then they donate that amount of gold to people in need. It’s the baby’s first gift - which gets them lots of blessings.
That is a very lovely tradition. 🌼
Babies who are born bald 😢
@@redleeks6253 they just wait til the first haircut for the tradition. I was 2 years old before my first haircut because I was a really bald baby for a long time!
I love hearing how proud you are of your sister! She is very accomplished.
I loved your chemistry!
Big thanks to your sister for letting us in on her perspective as a Vietnamese mom❤️
It is illegal in Germany to ask about family plans. Therefore you are allowed to lie and say no plans for kids, no boyfriend. You do not even have to tell if you are actually pregnant. I hope you will find a better workplace than that though.
Illegal but companies still do. And I think in Uyen situation it would be impossible to lie she has no bf because of her social media
As a mom of 4 and also Vietnamese. Do not wear tight bras and wire bras and don't let your breast be full for too long before emptying. This will prevent clogging.
I had bad clogging with my first child, then an older (in her 60s) friend gave me these advice. Saved my life!
I was wondering if Uyen's sister got to pump at work since she went back to work so early. One doesn't turn breast milk production on & off like a faucet. And having full breasts can lead to issues that make breast feeding uncomfortable or down right painful. You've given some good advice @lwagner1723.
I appreciate her sharing her perspective. It was very informative. 👍
Appreciate her sister joining Yuen for this interview …you go girls!!
your sister is so cool and thoughtful. thanksfor sharing such an important but personal conversation with the world!
Dear Uyen I enjoyed to hear your sister answering your questions. It is hard to be a mum in Vietnam! I mean combining all expectations!
Your sister seems so clever! A pleasure to hear ❤
Hello Uyen Ninh, Hello her to her sister too,
thank you two for the vidoe.
Mrs. Sister fit's very well into the chanel, because she also hides just of screen like Uyen's boyfriend does.
I am looking forward to more.
Greetings
Juy Juka
Another great video. Thank you to your sister for sharing with us.
You are doing a fantastic job showing both cultures. You make me grateful, jealous and happy all at the same time 😂❤
You and your sister are wonderful. I enjoy hearing about traditions and how things are done in other countries. This was a very enlightening video. Thank you.
Your sister is amazing! Tranks for sharing about her experiences too.❤
I loooooove the sister content , thank you sister for showing up in Uyens video , it is so nice to know about other cultures
this was super insightful, thank you and your sister!
Your sister was amazing and I’m happy she was willing to do this with you, even though she’s shy!❤❤❤
So kind of your sister to tell us a little bit about her experiences with motherhood. Her English is really good! Thanks for sharing your life with us Uyen☺️
I absolutely love your sister, she seems to be shy but really honest and a person that goes stricly to the point. I really appreciate how she expressed what she got in mind, so PLEASE, do other vids together when it's posssible and thank you for sharing your point of view so frankly. Love you all 😊😊😊
I love this video with your sister. She speaks English very well. I’m always impressed by people who know more than one language. I struggle to learn a new language.
Thank you to you and to your sister for this interesting video! I really enjoy to learn about this ! Take care 🥰🤗❤❤❤
This was such a fun and informative video. Thank you to you and your sister. It was so interesting to hear your sister’s perspective. Please tell her that she did an amazing job. It is so challenging to communicate in a non-native language. You two were wonderful to watch together. 🎉
:) You both did a beautiful job on questions and answers. Very informative, and it is a learning experience for me, I live is USA, so life is alot different as well as support etc. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos.
Absolutely loved getting this perspective & your sister’s English was very good!
Thank you and your sister for taking the time to educate us about Vietnam and being a mom there.
In germany it depends, my grandma played a huge part in my life. Maybe you can talk to german boyfriend. Maybe his parents would be happy to help
I thought so too. I am Austrian and my parents lice next door. They cooked for me for the entire first month (my husband is a lousy cook). They also took the baby on lots of walks to let me take a nap undisturbed.
I am sure there will be less support than in Vietnam, but maybe more than Uyen expects. Babies can really bring families together.
Please tell your sister I said thank you for helping us to understand how different things are.
That was so interesting, I loved it! Your sister is fantastic; there’s definitely some resemblance in the personalities, which is a positive for both of you!
Special thank you to your sister for sharing! Your English is good 👌
