I agree with the no touching babies without express permission from the parents! When I was 7yrs a man touched my face while my Mon and I were on the bus. Needless to say my mom stopped the bus, dragged the man off and beat him with her shoe & all the people on the bus cheered her on. So no sir, no ma’am, don’t be touching babies without permission, that’s the height of rudeness & disrespect!
Ain’t no difference here in the USA. I used to be the meanest about that. Even fam, they had to wash and sanitize before holing. God bless you and your beautiful family ❤
@@annierayofficial7955 yeah i dont get that. I thought everyone knew not to touch babies, especially when theyre newborns cuz their skin is very sensitive. Plus if you dont know them it’s weird not to ask.
Megan, you are 100% correct. We hated it when old whites ladies would love to touch our child who is also mixed. (She is a blasian and whites) They LOVED touching our “Eskimo” baby, or whatever random ethnicity that they came up. Ugh ugh. Smack those old hands away from your babies,
@@MrsMeganMoon same! I'm also from Orlando area, so I was like "OK, we homies!" and my best friend is in Korea too, working, engaged to a Korean man. All of ur videos are always fun and informative, and as a mom of 3 in Florida, I love these mommy videos too!
Holy crap, it sounds amazing how much they want to care for the mom after having babies. The thought of having babies is SO extremely overwhelming to me, but having one in korea sounds like it would take a little bit of pressure off 😅
@TaeTen Min the problem arises when there's not enough people to replace the ones who retire. There's no one to pick up your garbage, police the streets, provide medical care, run restaurants etc. About 15 years ago Ireland offered money and help finding jobs for people who wanted go move there. The average age of their population was around 55 years old because very few people were having children. Japan is having this crisis currently along with Taiwan and South Korea. Most first world countries are actually in some stage of this.
I'm a foreign mom in Korea as well and my mother in law helps as much as she can just so I can have a break. Every time I see her she asks me if I'm having a hard time. I love the no mom shaming lol
I feel you! I've been watching Megan since high school and been planning to move to Korea once I finished college. I finally finished and her videos get me more excited to make it happen.
@@MrsMeganMoonI can’t begin to imagine the level YOU are dealing with! Because I KNOW you have it way more. But someone nice touched my baby, the very first time she sat in a shopping cart. I pushed my whole damn baby away from us as I stated the old lady down. Lmao like away from both of us 😅
I went through the same thing in the US. People are so inconsiderate when it comes to touching babies. They really should ask the mother out of respect! It used to upset me when someone would come up to my daughter and begin to touch her hands or feet. Those are the two body parts that babies have the ability to place in there own mouths. Just RUDE!
I Had to cuss a lady out at my baby’s Drs office she touched my babies cheeks I told her not to do that and to ask permission it’s a different world people need to respect mothers and babies cheeks it caught me off guard I was so mad
I wish we had those post-partum care facilities in Switzerland. I had to do everything alone as a single mom (cooking, cleaning, taking care of my baby). and you can only stay in the hospital max. 4 days, even if you have a c-section. kinda sad, that it is like that here…
Wow, 4 days? Consider yourself lucky. I am a first time mom, and upon touring my hospital, I was informed the max I'll stay is maybe 3 days if I have a c-section, 2 days if I deliver vaginally.
Hi, I'm from Malaysia and I've done C-section twice. I went to Government hospital and the bill were cheap, like USD20 for 3 days 2 nights. Doctors encouraged me to move/walk to prevent blood clot and boost the blood circulation after surgery. There's no way you can stay longer. The same concept applies to private hospitals as well. About the post-partum care facility, we do have it here as well but mostly are private. It's either you hire them to come over to your house or you stay at the centre. I'm telling you it's super expensive like USD1k-3k for 15days depends on your room/packages. So the longer you hire them the more payment. Technically that much spending can last 3 months for my family expenses. It is not for everyone especially low income families.
I’m not a mom so I can’t speak to the shaming culture but around where I live in the US I feel like I’ve heard the opposite. Moms and Dads are encouraged to have date nights and people in the public actually prefer when you don’t have your babies with you in places where the little ones can be disruptive… like a movie theater.
@@BP-zq6xf - I've seen and heard Mom shaming from hearing conversations of some co-workers to people that shamed Chrissy Teigen for having a date night with her husband John Legend about 2 weeks after delivery. I'm blessed to not often be in the company of those that Mommy shame but - IMHO - Megan is not far removed nor exaggerating when she speaks of it.
There may be some communities that are definitely more forward thinking and open minded and don't shame mothers but it unfortunately is something engrained in older generations and traditions of housewives/stay at home mothers and still lingers in some communities today. Many mothers are made to feel guilty if they leave the house without their babies yet the fathers feel no shame when doing the same thing.
hmm I want to say ethnicity and background definitely plays into this. I'm from the US too but from an ethnic background, my community does not encourage parents to spend time away from their babies especially when they're not even a year old yet
That mommy shaming must be happening in a certain culture I live in the US and had no problem leaving my child without my family or daycare when she was around 2or3 I even let her spend most of the summer with my Grandmother Aunt and Dad in another state People should do what’s best for them and their family and not focusing on what others think about you
I don't know if it's happening to ordinary Americans but I don't think it's a common complaint. We mostly hear that about celebrity mothers who get their bodies back in shape after two or three months. Or photographed going out weeks after giving birth. I think they're shamed because they can afford trainers and nannies. They shouldn't be though.
None whatsoever 😂😂😂😂We drop them off and pick them up the next day.😂😂😂😂😂I had 7# I needed that break from all those kids. They are grown now & I miss them soooo much 😢😢
There's a black mom with twins just like you living there with her Korean husband. She's dark skinned and I always wondered the life of a mom there. Her channel is called Diannainkorea, she does a lot of cinematic vlogs regarding her experience growing up and raising twins in Korea (although she's not really vlogging these days). I thought since she's darker she may have a harder time there with her experience. However its been the opposite and her twins are treated with respectful as oppose to a lot of videos where foreigners talk about racism. She gives a more realistic side of reality for darker women. I would love if you can collaborate with her! She's a little younger than you but I would love to see you two meet!!
I’m not saying there are no racists in Korea cuz there is everywhere but tbh a lot of people who talk about the negative aspects of being a foreigner in Korea is experiencing literally the same things that Asians, Latinos (not the white passing ones) and etc go through in the US and other European countries. The minorities living over here just adapted to it, being treated like a foreigner is nothing new so they’re not going to whip out a camera and talk about their woes about it…
@@Imokayluv even the white passing Latinos get hate it's not a color thing for most it's just that they're different unless they don't have an accent I can see them not getting hate
How a baby is treated is alot of different than how a older child/teen/teenager is treated. Most people treat babies and toddlers well. It's when those children get older things change
@@aprilb1273 being Latino is merely a culture. Those white passing could literally be white or majority white. That being said if you speak Spanish anywhere in the world the " person of color" label is taken off real quick and that history in and off its self is problematic
Omg! You have babies!? Girl I used to watch you YEARS ago (2014/5 ish) when I taught in Korea for two years. I’m so glad this video popped up in my feed. Congrats!!!
That unwanted stranger touches happens here in the US too. And they get offended if they’re older than me too. I carry spray hand sanitizer for that so i can spray my baby’s hands and arms. I just really hate when they touch the face.
Yes it definitely does happen in the US when I was a little girl I remember an older lady coming up to pinch my cheeks and my mom was just like be polite
I was 17and old home less man with drink gave up and kiss my baby who was 4weeks and a few weeks latter he had a sore on his face had 5more baby's never let any one kiss them don't care if I cheeky you learn with age had last son at 45 he was9'9 oz.gas air blessings 🙏 love nanapolly x Scotland
Happens in the US. I had better luck better the baby. People less likely to come so close to you the adult vs a stroller. I was carrying 1 not 2. Someone can touch the twin on the back pretty easily.
Oh my god I started following you back in 2011 when I spent one summer in Seoul and you have your babies, I have a 1 yo baby too, i'm a bit emotional now.
I don't think I've seen your hair like this. I am absolutely loving the braid in the front and curls in the back! Thanks for making videos while being sleep deprived and busy! You really help make the day better:)
OMG I have been wondering about this so much lately whenever im on the subway and see the pregnancy seats. It just makes me daydream about what it would be like to be a foreign mother in Korea and all the difficulties that would come with it. So glad you talked about it!!
That after birth care for the mother is such a wonderful idea. In America they are kicking you out of the hospital as quick as possible. Probably why we have so many tragic postpartum cases. Mothers need care too.
I live in Germany, have no kids of my own,but the healthcare system is great. It helps you with kids, daycare, babysitter, hospital. They pay for everything, plus money for each child monthly. But i don't know if there is more to it. I come from Romania, so my country doesn't help people no matter if thery're students, children, parents or old people. They just don't care. That's why most people search for a living in other countries. Love your videos and always waiting for the next one. You guys are amazing...
I've been thinking about getting a few certificates and taking classes to open up a kinda Postpartum care facility/ Kiddie spa for low-income parents. I'm worried about it tbh but I really want to do it, cause I always feel for mothers who are stressed out from parenting because it affects the kids and people love to judge rather then help. I'm currently looking into how I can do it- Your videos are definitely one of the main reasons I want to push forward with this.
I live in the US and I had to tell people not to touch my baby. Look with your eyes not your hands and that was the 90's. I couldn't even think how I would be if I had my daughter with all that is out there today! You have a lovely family and I enjoy hearing how postpartum care is taken care of in other countries. Thank you for sharing.
Lol! They do this in America too! They will put their faces right up to the baby's face!! It's awkward because it's just a cute lil old lady and you want to be respectful
@Ash - Her video last week not only touched on the subject but she had a promo code when you can get Lifetime Rosetta Stone at a discounted price! 😃😁👍🏾
Megan same thing here in Virginia… Older Grannies love putting their hands on other people’s babies or unsolicited opinions! I am now a Grandma myself but I would never touch or say anything negative to Moms. Your Luna looks so much like my oldest when she was small. Kisses!!
First, you looks beautiful! Radiant. The resources available to you as a mother in Korea are incredible. And is your skincare products good for sensitive skin? You complexion is amazing!
I keep thinking about being a dad, I enjoy the videos about the kids. You were the first person I ever watched who lived in Korea - I love you so much ❤
I would kill to have that type of postpartum care (and healthcare) here in America. Even though we don't, when I was growing up, I do remember older women having a lot of beliefs about what a new mom should be doing after birth (like you shouldn't really be going outside or doing anything too strenuous for a few weeks unless you wanted complications).
It’s funny how everyone has an opinion, especially when it comes to parenting. Mom shaming is crap. People to to realize there’s not one right way to do things in life. That applies to parenting. Much love Megan! ❤
I love that they take care of the mom and don’t want her to over do it. I, personally was so attached to my baby and wanted to take care of her but needed help with the housework and everything but didn’t have it… so I was doing it all and it took me a long time to recover physically and mentally despite me loving motherhood! If I ever am blessed with more kids I would definitely organize it so that I got more help and give myself way more grace!
We get no help but all pregnancy test and doc tors are free and in hospital get free nursery from age2to4 then school 5afternoons free at nursery and you pay if you put in mornings as wellx
I remember watching your videos when I was about to go to South Korea! That was 8 years ago!! It's awesome, that you are still there and have found your happily ever after
A lot of what you’re describing can only be used if your babies have Korean citizenship though. At a minimum, the gvt monthly allowance and free daycare are NOT available to kids where both parents are non-Korean. And a lot of other perks (such as postpartum support being paid by gvt to come to your house, etc.) are dependent on what visa you have. The touching though 😅 I can confirm is exactly what you described
Mrs. Meagan Moon I just have to say, you hit the jackpot with your husband and in-laws! I’m Korean and I have refused to marry any other Korean because of the in-laws! Historically, in my family, the pregnant KOREAN wife be working, cleaning the house, and doing all the dishes! You have just shown the world how loving some Korean in-laws can be so thank you. Btw I’m sittting here depressed as F and torturing myself watching your cute babies and fabulous life but you makin me smile girl. Thanks for sharing!
i was in japan and it is extremely difficult for foreigner moms to assimilate into friend groups with other moms. you have a lot of foreigner friends in korea, but do you find it harder or the same when it comes to having closer friendships with other koreans?
You are Megan before you’re a mom❤ I’m glad you are enjoying being you with your family in Korea ❤ I love hearing about motherhood from you and good luck with your skincare line. I love it all ❤
I'm a mom of twins too. Side by side strollers are great for going to parks and open places. Front and back strollers are better for shopping and tighter spaces.
I just moved to this town when my son was 4. They had their annual fair & we were on line getting ice cream. I look down at my son & he’s staring straight at me WITH A GROWN MAN HOLDING HIS HAND! I ran straight to the police & they said the man is harmless and believes he’s a young child! Ummm everything about that sounds even more wrong! We moved!
Girl you are not wrong about these parents and the hagwons! I work at a school in Daechi and some of these parents are crazyyyyy. For some of them, they just want their kids to be happy, but most of them are like okay let me put my 7 year old (korean age) in school from 9:30 to 5:30 then send them to a math tutor or extra english tutor after that. oh and can my kid get extra writing homework? I literally had a boy pulling his hair out for the first part of the year from all the stress he was under 🥲 I hope by the time your babies are in school it's not so intense
I had no experience of shaming if my husband and I wanted to go out. However the SK help for postparum mothers is next levels. I am jealous, we need that in the US ASAP. I was lucky that I got a lot of help from ladies at my church, without it would be tough since my parents live across the country.
The touching of babies occur in the US too. When my son was 1 week old and had to go for a check up, some lady touched him while he was in his stroller. We were in a hospital for a check up! This was pre-covid but still!
I’m so happy your skin care routine is back. I’ve been waiting for this video! I just love this set❤ Also, you’re doing a great job with your babies. Wishing you, Mr. Moon and your babies all the best😊
THEY ARE ALREADY 7 MONTHS OLD??? Time flies it's insane. I have been following you around for 5-6 years now I think and it's just crazy how much has happened in that time period. Good for you hun!
i really feel the overly touchy ajummas are a 'collectivist culture' issue. two things come together here. a) their age gives them automatic hierarchy, b) they see babies kind of as community property (which in some ways is good, because yes, in such cultures it's more normal for grandparents, uncles and aunts etc to take care of your kids too), and most likely they think that you should be grateful for the wisdom they can instill on you as a young woman. pretty much the same story in India. super tough to say no to older people and not allow them to touch your kids. but you are completely right, especially after two years of pandemic for god's sake, hands off!
Great video~~ I am also a mom in Korea. My aftercare facility experience was different. I was called each time my son woke up to breastfeed. I didn't ask them to do that, it was just expected for each mom that was there. We all were in a room together plopping our stuff out to feed our children. Also for others who are pregnant or will be in the future, each city has different perks of being pregnant. When I was pregnant in 2018-19 in Busan, we only got 600k won for all the expenses and couple of bottles of Iron pills. But of course things have changed since then, just make sure you contact your local 보건소 to get some perks and register for a 행복한 card at a local bank that provides one. My son is 3yrs old western age and has been in daycare since he was 3 months old. The daycare fee has always been paid for but depending if you go to a private or government daycare, fees will be different. My son goes to a private daycare so we had to pay almost 200k when registering (class fees, clothing fees, being placed in a classroom fee...etc.) and each month for classes we pay 63k plus 30k for special trips and parties. But if you go to a government daycare, they tend to not have as much fees. Good luck to all moms here in Korea :) Or just everywhere!
Good job Megan, tell it as it is. I am Korean, so it is harder to do that! However, I don’t live in Korea. So I never experienced that. I got back in shape in one month but I exercised at home (lost 40 pounds). I did this twice but now I am 46 years old and not as motivated as before. So I am doing the intermittent fasting. It is really hard to lose 12 pounds 😢 Wow, Korea has so many benefits for babies😮😊🎉❤
I love your videos so much! I've been following you for some years now and seeing your journey is so inspiring! You sharing the good and bad sides to being a foreign mom in SK is really interesting to see. As a new mom myself, to a 1 year old, it's beautiful to see how much care is given to new moms in SK. I get a little emotional thinking about how opposite it is in the US. Even the hospital fees is insane - i was shocked when the hospital sent me the bill 😅 I'm like, who's paying that? 👀 You got the wrong person lmao
I feel like a lot of the women who mom shame other moms is for a couple reasons. 1) they didn’t get to do the things that the other mom is doing 2) there parents left them with their grandparents a lot and they projecting.
The pressure to get kids into a good school and participate in events is just as real here in the states as it's in Korea. The K-drama Sky Castle is more truth than its fiction!
I'm in America, mom or mom-n-law watched my son so i could workout and have a life. I was 107 lbs 5'1" and jiggly like water, weighed 173 at last weigh in and only lost 8lbs after delivery (insert maniac scream here-->). So me and my sis-n-law walked or road my bike 5 miles a day. Afterwards we went to the gym or did floor exercises but she couldnt hang past an hour and a half. I did a diet that i made up myself, did good for back in 1994. I lost all my weight and toned up. Now, 54yo, i got lyme and weigh 205 because i cant cook, and clean due to excruciating pain and limits. so im watching your videos to help me get motivated and ideas. Thank you for inspiring us! I had the same personality as you when i was around your age. Your a cut-up!😆
That post partum facility for new moms in Korea would’ve really helped me (and I’m sure other moms) here in America when I had my kids. I was so scared, anxious, feeling overwhelmed and went straight home after only 1-2 nights at the hospital, and I felt SO ALONE! My mom helped hire someone to come help me but that was only for 1 week which was not nearly enough. I definitely had some form of mild-moderate depression, and I wish we would’ve had this kind of support. But I’m definitely NOT envious of the mom shaming and pressure later on when the kids reach school age, to be uber competitive in Korean schools! That would drive me crazy! 😳
No one in the US really shames you for leaving your kid with a babysitter I feel like it’s the opposite. I’ve never gotten shame for leaving my son, if anything I think the shame is more of a self inflicted guilt a lot of moms have because it’s hard sometimes emotionally. As far as the working out culture I feel like there’s more shame involved online and with social media than an actual life. I say this because I work at a YMCA and we encourage our moms to stay healthy. One thing I will say that I’m super jealous of the postpartum care that they give over there. I’m pregnant right now and all I keep thinking about and hearing from my bosses is when are you returning from work and I’m definitely gonna have to do 8 weeks or less. Thankfully I work partially from home so I can kind of keep my schedule and my mom and dad will be helping but it sucks. My leave is also unpaid so I’m already trying to find temporary jobs bc daycare is super expensive.
USA is big and I could imagine this happening in the good old Bible Belt areas . I didn’t experience it in my area butI live near large city and more Progressive .
Lmao sorry but " No one in the USA shames people?" 🤣🤣 USA is huge with over 300 million people & a vast variety of different people with different beliefs. I grew up with lots of people shaming about using babysitters. They view it as "lazy" or being irresponsible cause the person can mistreat your child. I don't agree with this, but unfortunately this definitely does happen 😆
@@ulutatussourire2739 That is what that part of the southern states is referred to. The conservative evangelicals in Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, etc.
Hi Megan 👋 I love your channel and you and Mr. Moon are doing a great job at parenting! I am so addicted to Ranyun and Chill and love your commentary! 💐🥰💙
As a Mother of 3 children, all born at different years, I can say that my 1st child I was VERY protective off, the 2nd I was a little more relaxed by the time number 3 came along I was relaxed. I could see how I was a helicopter Mum (she told me) with my first and how with my second I was still a helicopter but fair. Feed back from your children is important and listening to them is key also the Grannies are not being intentionally unhealthy in touching your child but expressing joy in another beautiful life being born and celebrating it. My babies are now 22, 17 and 10 and they have always been touched, cuddled and rejoiced over and I personally find it a blessing than a disgust.
Me too. Like I would just ask to not touch the face nor the hands. A foot is fine. Here in Portugal, touching a foot is ok, since it's usually protected with socks.
No one touches my kid, no one. I don't give a crap how "joyful" that old twit is you DO NOT touch other people's children. Period. And bull on the "not intentionally being unhealthy" nonsense. Remember these are the people who didn't use seat belts, smoke and drank alcohol while pregnant, and smoked while holding their kids with the excuse, "Well they aren't dead."
It's so nice to hear that you have some good supports to help you as you raise your lovely twins. And that you have been able to look after yourself a bit. Where I am a lot of new mums struggle if they dont have family around them as there isn't a lot of help other than with healthcare and creche facilities. I love the idea of being able to rent toys and strollers and having a play centre for little ones! I hope other countries might pick up on that as many of my friends would have benefitted a lot from services like those.
If you have insurance, it's not expensive. But honestly, it's just the lack of care and respect here that frazzles me. "Oh, you're having a baby? Well that's nice. I don't care, I'm not getting up from my seat, you can stand, and by the way, when you finish giving birth, go home and then come back to work." : ) :) :) :) that attitude is what frazzles me. 😭
So I lived in Korea back in 2009 and everyone wanted to touch my newborn. My daughter would sit in her carseat all covered up and they would lift the blanket, open up the carseat shade thing and touch her!! & this was during the time swine flu was going around. Drove me nuts.
I am new to this channel and I am obsessed!!!! Those beautiful babies got me hooked! 😍 Been binging ur old videos and wanted to tell u to keep them coming!!!
I’m glad u stand up for yourself and tell people not to touch ur babies! Good for u! Wow! Having a baby in Korea is sooooooo different than having a baby in the u s! 😊
Aussie mum here👋🏻 The amount of old peoples hands ive had to smack away is astronomical... We literally had an attempted abduction of my bub when she was 3 weeks old, and old people STILL told me i was over reacting, and the lady wasnt trying to take my baby (people who weren't even there). Whenever i tell them to back of and slap their hands away they get all offended, yell at me and some even thteaten me with an assult charge (little do they know touching a baby without consent is assult over here). I think it's safe to say old people are entitled no matter where you live. It must be really hard with twins, you're doing amazing🧡
In America, our families "used to" be cool with moms "getting her mind straight" after having the kids. Families & family support would watch the kids and the grandparents were actively involved (so were the aunties, cousins, etc.). And there used to be like a "rule" to not take the new baby out until they were a certain age (to not expose them to strangers and environmental stuffs).
So beautiful to see Korea looking after the Mums after they give birth. But from experience in New Zealand after having a C-Section we Mother had to try heal and was told to walk often to help heal and get out faster but had to look after my first with less help but only if I wanted to. I just didn't trust my son with anyone. Good on you Korea makes me want to visit for a holiday one day
Megan, your hair is so long and healthy! Please don't cut it, grow it down to your waist! My hair is down to my waist, it's never been this long but if I'm in the house, they're in curling rods.
I agree with the no touching babies without express permission from the parents! When I was 7yrs a man touched my face while my Mon and I were on the bus. Needless to say my mom stopped the bus, dragged the man off and beat him with her shoe & all the people on the bus cheered her on. So no sir, no ma’am, don’t be touching babies without permission, that’s the height of rudeness & disrespect!

@@makingmylifeeasier710 yes! Orlando homies unite! 😂
Holy crap, it sounds amazing how much they want to care for the mom after having babies. The thought of having babies is SO extremely overwhelming to me, but having one in korea sounds like it would take a little bit of pressure off 😅
I think they do that to encourage couples do have babies because they have a really low birth rate.
not to mention that the healthcare is much better, you wont have to sell your metaphorical kidneys just to pay off the hospital fees.
@TaeTen Min yeah but it's not great to have more birth rate for individual countries
@TaeTen Min the problem arises when there's not enough people to replace the ones who retire. There's no one to pick up your garbage, police the streets, provide medical care, run restaurants etc. About 15 years ago Ireland offered money and help finding jobs for people who wanted go move there. The average age of their population was around 55 years old because very few people were having children. Japan is having this crisis currently along with Taiwan and South Korea. Most first world countries are actually in some stage of this.
I'm a foreign mom in Korea as well and my mother in law helps as much as she can just so I can have a break. Every time I see her she asks me if I'm having a hard time. I love the no mom shaming lol
I put a mosquito net over my sons scroller so people don’t touch him 😂😂😂
Older people touching babies is a thing here in Hong Kong as well. It’s always my son’s hands too 😢 which he always puts in his mouth
You are so right to teach people not to touch the babies

@@MrsMeganMoonI can’t begin to imagine the level YOU are dealing with! Because I KNOW you have it way more. But someone nice touched my baby, the very first time she sat in a shopping cart. I pushed my whole damn baby away from us as I stated the old lady down. Lmao like away from both of us 😅
I went through the same thing in the US. People are so inconsiderate when it comes to touching babies. They really should ask the mother out of respect! It used to upset me when someone would come up to my daughter and begin to touch her hands or feet. Those are the two body parts that babies have the ability to place in there own mouths. Just RUDE!
I Had to cuss a lady out at my baby’s Drs office she touched my babies cheeks I told her not to do that and to ask permission it’s a different world people need to respect mothers and babies cheeks it caught me off guard I was so mad
I had a little dangly thing that hung from the handle of the carrier that said “your big germs are too big for my little body”. It proved to work well
I wish we had those post-partum care facilities in Switzerland. I had to do everything alone as a single mom (cooking, cleaning, taking care of my baby). and you can only stay in the hospital max. 4 days, even if you have a c-section. kinda sad, that it is like that here…
Wow, 4 days? Consider yourself lucky. I am a first time mom, and upon touring my hospital, I was informed the max I'll stay is maybe 3 days if I have a c-section, 2 days if I deliver vaginally.
Hi, I'm from Malaysia and I've done C-section twice. I went to Government hospital and the bill were cheap, like USD20 for 3 days 2 nights. Doctors encouraged me to move/walk to prevent blood clot and boost the blood circulation after surgery. There's no way you can stay longer. The same concept applies to private hospitals as well.
About the post-partum care facility, we do have it here as well but mostly are private. It's either you hire them to come over to your house or you stay at the centre. I'm telling you it's super expensive like USD1k-3k for 15days depends on your room/packages. So the longer you hire them the more payment. Technically that much spending can last 3 months for my family expenses. It is not for everyone especially low income families.
I’m not a mom so I can’t speak to the shaming culture but around where I live in the US I feel like I’ve heard the opposite. Moms and Dads are encouraged to have date nights and people in the public actually prefer when you don’t have your babies with you in places where the little ones can be disruptive… like a movie theater.
Yes! I dont know what she is talking about, Maybe she is gone too long from America
@@BP-zq6xf - I've seen and heard Mom shaming from hearing conversations of some co-workers to people that shamed Chrissy Teigen for having a date night with her husband John Legend about 2 weeks after delivery.
I'm blessed to not often be in the company of those that Mommy shame but - IMHO - Megan is not far removed nor exaggerating when she speaks of it.
There may be some communities that are definitely more forward thinking and open minded and don't shame mothers but it unfortunately is something engrained in older generations and traditions of housewives/stay at home mothers and still lingers in some communities today. Many mothers are made to feel guilty if they leave the house without their babies yet the fathers feel no shame when doing the same thing.
@@JingoCrochet - Well said! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
hmm I want to say ethnicity and background definitely plays into this. I'm from the US too but from an ethnic background, my community does not encourage parents to spend time away from their babies especially when they're not even a year old yet
That mommy shaming must be happening in a certain culture I live in the US and had no problem leaving my child without my family or daycare when she was around 2or3 I even let her spend most of the summer with my Grandmother Aunt and Dad in another state People should do what’s best for them and their family and not focusing on what others think about you
That’s true. Every state is different. From everyone of my friends with babies they all said that :(
I don't know if it's happening to ordinary Americans but I don't think it's a common complaint. We mostly hear that about celebrity mothers who get their bodies back in shape after two or three months. Or photographed going out weeks after giving birth. I think they're shamed because they can afford trainers and nannies. They shouldn't be though.
There are plenty of idiots who will tell working mothers that they should be at home taking care of their kids instead of working to support them.
None whatsoever 😂😂😂😂We drop them off and pick them up the next day.😂😂😂😂😂I had 7# I needed that break from all those kids. They are grown now & I miss them soooo much 😢😢
There's a black mom with twins just like you living there with her Korean husband. She's dark skinned and I always wondered the life of a mom there. Her channel is called Diannainkorea, she does a lot of cinematic vlogs regarding her experience growing up and raising twins in Korea (although she's not really vlogging these days). I thought since she's darker she may have a harder time there with her experience. However its been the opposite and her twins are treated with respectful as oppose to a lot of videos where foreigners talk about racism. She gives a more realistic side of reality for darker women. I would love if you can collaborate with her! She's a little younger than you but I would love to see you two meet!!
I’m not saying there are no racists in Korea cuz there is everywhere but tbh a lot of people who talk about the negative aspects of being a foreigner in Korea is experiencing literally the same things that Asians, Latinos (not the white passing ones) and etc go through in the US and other European countries. The minorities living over here just adapted to it, being treated like a foreigner is nothing new so they’re not going to whip out a camera and talk about their woes about it…
@@Imokayluv This is so sadly true
@@Imokayluv even the white passing Latinos get hate it's not a color thing for most it's just that they're different unless they don't have an accent I can see them not getting hate
How a baby is treated is alot of different than how a older child/teen/teenager is treated. Most people treat babies and toddlers well. It's when those children get older things change
@@aprilb1273 being Latino is merely a culture. Those white passing could literally be white or majority white. That being said if you speak Spanish anywhere in the world the " person of color" label is taken off real quick and that history in and off its self is problematic
I love you Meghan ❤ been a fan for years and I love watching you grow and mature
❤❤❤❤
I love the breastfeeding rooms every where , monthly check and the affordable to free daycare, if only the u.s actually cared about families
I agree. We only care about money and enterprise. How terrible!
Omg! You have babies!? Girl I used to watch you YEARS ago (2014/5 ish) when I taught in Korea for two years.
I’m so glad this video popped up in my feed. Congrats!!!
I agree Megan, their skin is so delicate and it’s rude to touch someone’s child without permission.
That unwanted stranger touches happens here in the US too. And they get offended if they’re older than me too. I carry spray hand sanitizer for that so i can spray my baby’s hands and arms. I just really hate when they touch the face.
Really? I though that happens only here in Korea.
Yes it definitely does happen in the US when I was a little girl I remember an older lady coming up to pinch my cheeks and my mom was just like be polite
@@kwwtjvdb definitely not lol people will also just randomly come up and touch pregnant women’s bellies too
I was 17and old home less man with drink gave up and kiss my baby who was 4weeks and a few weeks latter he had a sore on his face had 5more baby's never let any one kiss them don't care if I cheeky you learn with age had last son at 45 he was9'9 oz.gas air blessings 🙏 love nanapolly x Scotland
Happens in the US. I had better luck better the baby. People less likely to come so close to you the adult vs a stroller. I was carrying 1 not 2. Someone can touch the twin on the back pretty easily.
Damn Not "Diggin in the booty just ate spicy chicken wings hands" I literally screamed
Oh my god I started following you back in 2011 when I spent one summer in Seoul and you have your babies, I have a 1 yo baby too, i'm a bit emotional now.
I don't think I've seen your hair like this. I am absolutely loving the braid in the front and curls in the back! Thanks for making videos while being sleep deprived and busy! You really help make the day better:)
The skin care routine is back!!! You are glowing Megan!! Grabbing mine!
OMG I have been wondering about this so much lately whenever im on the subway and see the pregnancy seats. It just makes me daydream about what it would be like to be a foreign mother in Korea and all the difficulties that would come with it. So glad you talked about it!!
That after birth care for the mother is such a wonderful idea. In America they are kicking you out of the hospital as quick as possible. Probably why we have so many tragic postpartum cases. Mothers need care too.
In Europe you also get better care than in the US
Yes I wish I had this level of care/support after my kids were born! Mothers need mental and emotional support, on top of the physical!
I live in Germany, have no kids of my own,but the healthcare system is great. It helps you with kids, daycare, babysitter, hospital. They pay for everything, plus money for each child monthly. But i don't know if there is more to it. I come from Romania, so my country doesn't help people no matter if thery're students, children, parents or old people. They just don't care. That's why most people search for a living in other countries. Love your videos and always waiting for the next one. You guys are amazing...
I've been thinking about getting a few certificates and taking classes to open up a kinda Postpartum care facility/ Kiddie spa for low-income parents. I'm worried about it tbh but I really want to do it, cause I always feel for mothers who are stressed out from parenting because it affects the kids and people love to judge rather then help. I'm currently looking into how I can do it- Your videos are definitely one of the main reasons I want to push forward with this.
YES!! Why don't we have those here?
@@ntmn8444 cost and liability
I live in the US and I had to tell people not to touch my baby. Look with your eyes not your hands and that was the 90's. I couldn't even think how I would be if I had my daughter with all that is out there today! You have a lovely family and I enjoy hearing how postpartum care is taken care of in other countries. Thank you for sharing.
Lol! They do this in America too! They will put their faces right up to the baby's face!! It's awkward because it's just a cute lil old lady and you want to be respectful
Megan, I remember the old Yupik Eskimmo Grandmas who would come up to my son 30 years ago in rural Alaska. It was so different. You are amazing!
Hey Megan do you think you could also do a video touching on the fact on how you learned Korean? It would be so helpful 🥹
She probably has a video already on here but I would love an update tho
If you search on my channel. I’ve made so many already hehe wqw
She talks about it a lot. Her parents brought her Rosetta stone when she first moved there. She also took a few class to get a citizenship i believe.
@Ash - Her video last week not only touched on the subject but she had a promo code when you can get Lifetime Rosetta Stone at a discounted price! 😃😁👍🏾
She has a promo code for Rosetta Stone that I most definitely used. That ish ain’t cheap. 😂
Megan same thing here in Virginia… Older Grannies love putting their hands on other people’s babies or unsolicited opinions! I am now a Grandma myself but I would never touch or say anything negative to Moms. Your Luna looks so much like my oldest when she was small. Kisses!!
First, you looks beautiful! Radiant. The resources available to you as a mother in Korea are incredible. And is your skincare products good for sensitive skin? You complexion is amazing!
I keep thinking about being a dad, I enjoy the videos about the kids. You were the first person I ever watched who lived in Korea - I love you so much ❤
I would kill to have that type of postpartum care (and healthcare) here in America. Even though we don't, when I was growing up, I do remember older women having a lot of beliefs about what a new mom should be doing after birth (like you shouldn't really be going outside or doing anything too strenuous for a few weeks unless you wanted complications).
They are just glorified hospitals. And they keep your baby away from you, leading to lots of breastfeeding trouble later on…
It’s funny how everyone has an opinion, especially when it comes to parenting. Mom shaming is crap. People to to realize there’s not one right way to do things in life. That applies to parenting. Much love Megan! ❤
I love that they take care of the mom and don’t want her to over do it. I, personally was so attached to my baby and wanted to take care of her but needed help with the housework and everything but didn’t have it… so I was doing it all and it took me a long time to recover physically and mentally despite me loving motherhood! If I ever am blessed with more kids I would definitely organize it so that I got more help and give myself way more grace!
We get no help but all pregnancy test and doc tors are free and in hospital get free nursery from age2to4 then school 5afternoons free at nursery and you pay if you put in mornings as wellx
I remember watching your videos when I was about to go to South Korea! That was 8 years ago!! It's awesome, that you are still there and have found your happily ever after
Rueb is soooo cute in his denim!!!! You guys are doing a fantastic job with them.
It's nice to see the pink background again. Stay healthy.
A lot of what you’re describing can only be used if your babies have Korean citizenship though. At a minimum, the gvt monthly allowance and free daycare are NOT available to kids where both parents are non-Korean. And a lot of other perks (such as postpartum support being paid by gvt to come to your house, etc.) are dependent on what visa you have.
The touching though 😅 I can confirm is exactly what you described
Vitamin C is one of the building blocks of collagen. It helps keep your skin juicy and firm.
Mrs. Meagan Moon I just have to say, you hit the jackpot with your husband and in-laws! I’m Korean and I have refused to marry any other Korean because of the in-laws! Historically, in my family, the pregnant KOREAN wife be working, cleaning the house, and doing all the dishes! You have just shown the world how loving some Korean in-laws can be so thank you. Btw I’m sittting here depressed as F and torturing myself watching your cute babies and fabulous life but you makin me smile girl. Thanks for sharing!
i was in japan and it is extremely difficult for foreigner moms to assimilate into friend groups with other moms. you have a lot of foreigner friends in korea, but do you find it harder or the same when it comes to having closer friendships with other koreans?
Literally wishing other countries would adopt these Korean values and support mothers more. So impressed by Korea and how progressive it is!
It's awesome how they help out new moms so much...
You are Megan before you’re a mom❤ I’m glad you are enjoying being you with your family in Korea ❤ I love hearing about motherhood from you and good luck with your skincare line. I love it all ❤
Girl, you don’t know how happy I am to hear your skin care pack is back!
I'm a mom of twins too. Side by side strollers are great for going to parks and open places. Front and back strollers are better for shopping and tighter spaces.
I just moved to this town when my son was 4. They had their annual fair & we were on line getting ice cream. I look down at my son & he’s staring straight at me WITH A GROWN MAN HOLDING HIS HAND! I ran straight to the police & they said the man is harmless and believes he’s a young child! Ummm everything about that sounds even more wrong!
We moved!
Girl you are not wrong about these parents and the hagwons! I work at a school in Daechi and some of these parents are crazyyyyy. For some of them, they just want their kids to be happy, but most of them are like okay let me put my 7 year old (korean age) in school from 9:30 to 5:30 then send them to a math tutor or extra english tutor after that. oh and can my kid get extra writing homework? I literally had a boy pulling his hair out for the first part of the year from all the stress he was under 🥲 I hope by the time your babies are in school it's not so intense
I had no experience of shaming if my husband and I wanted to go out. However the SK help for postparum mothers is next levels. I am jealous, we need that in the US ASAP.
I was lucky that I got a lot of help from ladies at my church, without it would be tough since my parents live across the country.
Excited to try your skincare regimen! Thank you for sharing your beautiful motherhood journey with us!💕
The touching of babies occur in the US too. When my son was 1 week old and had to go for a check up, some lady touched him while he was in his stroller. We were in a hospital for a check up! This was pre-covid but still!
Hello everyone
I am happy you're yourself again. I cannot believe you're baby are 6 months already; they are big. Love ❤️ your children ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy your skin care routine is back. I’ve been waiting for this video! I just love this set❤ Also, you’re doing a great job with your babies. Wishing you, Mr. Moon and your babies all the best😊
THEY ARE ALREADY 7 MONTHS OLD??? Time flies it's insane. I have been following you around for 5-6 years now I think and it's just crazy how much has happened in that time period. Good for you hun!
i really feel the overly touchy ajummas are a 'collectivist culture' issue. two things come together here. a) their age gives them automatic hierarchy, b) they see babies kind of as community property (which in some ways is good, because yes, in such cultures it's more normal for grandparents, uncles and aunts etc to take care of your kids too), and most likely they think that you should be grateful for the wisdom they can instill on you as a young woman. pretty much the same story in India. super tough to say no to older people and not allow them to touch your kids.
but you are completely right, especially after two years of pandemic for god's sake, hands off!
Great video~~ I am also a mom in Korea. My aftercare facility experience was different. I was called each time my son woke up to breastfeed. I didn't ask them to do that, it was just expected for each mom that was there. We all were in a room together plopping our stuff out to feed our children. Also for others who are pregnant or will be in the future, each city has different perks of being pregnant. When I was pregnant in 2018-19 in Busan, we only got 600k won for all the expenses and couple of bottles of Iron pills. But of course things have changed since then, just make sure you contact your local 보건소 to get some perks and register for a 행복한 card at a local bank that provides one. My son is 3yrs old western age and has been in daycare since he was 3 months old. The daycare fee has always been paid for but depending if you go to a private or government daycare, fees will be different. My son goes to a private daycare so we had to pay almost 200k when registering (class fees, clothing fees, being placed in a classroom fee...etc.) and each month for classes we pay 63k plus 30k for special trips and parties. But if you go to a government daycare, they tend to not have as much fees. Good luck to all moms here in Korea :) Or just everywhere!
200k is 150 dollars and 63k won a month is 47.50 per month is a amazing!
We pay over 1000 dollars a month for daycare in the United States.
Megan really does have fabulous skin! ...and those babies... Adorable!! I enjoy watching what your lovely family is up to ..^_^..
Your hair has gotten so long! We def need an updated hair routine lol ❤
Good job Megan, tell it as it is. I am Korean, so it is harder to do that! However, I don’t live in Korea. So I never experienced that.
I got back in shape in one month but I exercised at home (lost 40 pounds). I did this twice but now I am 46 years old and not as motivated as before. So I am doing the intermittent fasting. It is really hard to lose 12 pounds 😢
Wow, Korea has so many benefits for babies😮😊🎉❤
I love your videos so much! I've been following you for some years now and seeing your journey is so inspiring! You sharing the good and bad sides to being a foreign mom in SK is really interesting to see. As a new mom myself, to a 1 year old, it's beautiful to see how much care is given to new moms in SK. I get a little emotional thinking about how opposite it is in the US. Even the hospital fees is insane - i was shocked when the hospital sent me the bill 😅 I'm like, who's paying that? 👀 You got the wrong person lmao
Good to see you again. welcome back. wish u a happy and blessed life dear friend. Keep safe.
can u give us more insight on what the in laws do with the babies or his siblings. how has the dynamic of the family changed
ok but likeeee the ending was soooo adorable why am i tearing up?!?🤧❤
I feel like a lot of the women who mom shame other moms is for a couple reasons. 1) they didn’t get to do the things that the other mom is doing 2) there parents left them with their grandparents a lot and they projecting.
The babies are growing so fast.
So…I really think the US could take some cues from S Korea on care for moms and babies! I’m so glad you are in a such a great place!
The pressure to get kids into a good school and participate in events is just as real here in the states as it's in Korea. The K-drama Sky Castle is more truth than its fiction!
I'm in America, mom or mom-n-law watched my son so i could workout and have a life.
I was 107 lbs 5'1" and jiggly like water, weighed 173 at last weigh in and only lost 8lbs after delivery (insert maniac scream here-->).
So me and my sis-n-law walked or road my bike 5 miles a day. Afterwards we went to the gym or did floor exercises but she couldnt hang past an hour and a half.
I did a diet that i made up myself, did good for back in 1994. I lost all my weight and toned up.
Now, 54yo, i got lyme and weigh 205 because i cant cook, and clean due to excruciating pain and limits. so im watching your videos to help me get motivated and ideas.
Thank you for inspiring us! I had the same personality as you when i was around your age. Your a cut-up!😆
That post partum facility for new moms in Korea would’ve really helped me (and I’m sure other moms) here in America when I had my kids. I was so scared, anxious, feeling overwhelmed and went straight home after only 1-2 nights at the hospital, and I felt SO ALONE! My mom helped hire someone to come help me but that was only for 1 week which was not nearly enough. I definitely had some form of mild-moderate depression, and I wish we would’ve had this kind of support. But I’m definitely NOT envious of the mom shaming and pressure later on when the kids reach school age, to be uber competitive in Korean schools! That would drive me crazy! 😳
Can I just say I am living for this hairstyle 😍 stunning, I need to try it
Thanks for sharing your experience and I love your hair by they way♥️
No one in the US really shames you for leaving your kid with a babysitter I feel like it’s the opposite. I’ve never gotten shame for leaving my son, if anything I think the shame is more of a self inflicted guilt a lot of moms have because it’s hard sometimes emotionally. As far as the working out culture I feel like there’s more shame involved online and with social media than an actual life. I say this because I work at a YMCA and we encourage our moms to stay healthy. One thing I will say that I’m super jealous of the postpartum care that they give over there. I’m pregnant right now and all I keep thinking about and hearing from my bosses is when are you returning from work and I’m definitely gonna have to do 8 weeks or less. Thankfully I work partially from home so I can kind of keep my schedule and my mom and dad will be helping but it sucks. My leave is also unpaid so I’m already trying to find temporary jobs bc daycare is super expensive.
USA is big and I could imagine this happening in the good old Bible Belt areas . I didn’t experience it in my area butI live near large city and more
Progressive .
Lmao sorry but " No one in the USA shames people?" 🤣🤣 USA is huge with over 300 million people & a vast variety of different people with different beliefs. I grew up with lots of people shaming about using babysitters. They view it as "lazy" or being irresponsible cause the person can mistreat your child. I don't agree with this, but unfortunately this definitely does happen 😆
No one ?? 😂 You may not have experienced it but I'd does happen.

Hi Megan 👋 I love your channel and you and Mr. Moon are doing a great job at parenting! I am so addicted to Ranyun and Chill and love your commentary! 💐🥰💙
Yeah!! I had fun shooting it haha
As a Mother of 3 children, all born at different years, I can say that my 1st child I was VERY protective off, the 2nd I was a little more relaxed by the time number 3 came along I was relaxed. I could see how I was a helicopter Mum (she told me) with my first and how with my second I was still a helicopter but fair. Feed back from your children is important and listening to them is key also the Grannies are not being intentionally unhealthy in touching your child but expressing joy in another beautiful life being born and celebrating it. My babies are now 22, 17 and 10 and they have always been touched, cuddled and rejoiced over and I personally find it a blessing than a disgust.
Me too. Like I would just ask to not touch the face nor the hands. A foot is fine. Here in Portugal, touching a foot is ok, since it's usually protected with socks.
No one touches my kid, no one. I don't give a crap how "joyful" that old twit is you DO NOT touch other people's children. Period. And bull on the "not intentionally being unhealthy" nonsense. Remember these are the people who didn't use seat belts, smoke and drank alcohol while pregnant, and smoked while holding their kids with the excuse, "Well they aren't dead."
It's so nice to hear that you have some good supports to help you as you raise your lovely twins. And that you have been able to look after yourself a bit. Where I am a lot of new mums struggle if they dont have family around them as there isn't a lot of help other than with healthcare and creche facilities. I love the idea of being able to rent toys and strollers and having a play centre for little ones! I hope other countries might pick up on that as many of my friends would have benefitted a lot from services like those.
They seem like they look after you over there. It’s really nice to see. I know it’s so tough in the US with medical bills (I’m in the UK)
If you have insurance, it's not expensive. But honestly, it's just the lack of care and respect here that frazzles me. "Oh, you're having a baby? Well that's nice. I don't care, I'm not getting up from my seat, you can stand, and by the way, when you finish giving birth, go home and then come back to work."
: ) :) :) :) that attitude is what frazzles me. 😭
So I lived in Korea back in 2009 and everyone wanted to touch my newborn. My daughter would sit in her carseat all covered up and they would lift the blanket, open up the carseat shade thing and touch her!! & this was during the time swine flu was going around. Drove me nuts.
Ur babies are so freaking cute 😍
“It takes a village” seems to be true in Korea. There seems to be a good support system. That’s non-existent in the US
Hi Megan! I’ve noticed you’ve been wearing your hair more naturally since delivery. Can you make a video about that?
You need to do something like the ad roll for a channel intro. Too cute!
That outro is amazing. Kudos to you Megan.~
Hey Megan! I'd be interested to see how and when Koreans introduce foods like kimchi and spicy dishes to their kids. Perhaps a future video idea?
I am new to this channel and I am obsessed!!!! Those beautiful babies got me hooked! 😍 Been binging ur old videos and wanted to tell u to keep them coming!!!
I appreciate your videos. Thank you and I hope to see you continue to live your best life, challenges and all.
YES I just ordered 2 boxes! Yeaaaaaah I’ve been waiting for an entire 6 months!
I love that they even have them in public transportation that's so nice
Girl you’re hilarious in ramyun and chill. Love hearing your comments ❤
I’m glad u stand up for yourself and tell people not to touch ur babies! Good for u! Wow! Having a baby in Korea is sooooooo different than having a baby in the u s! 😊
Hi Megan! So glad you stand your ground and don't let these strangers touch your baby. They should have the good sense not to touch!
Aussie mum here👋🏻
The amount of old peoples hands ive had to smack away is astronomical...
We literally had an attempted abduction of my bub when she was 3 weeks old, and old people STILL told me i was over reacting, and the lady wasnt trying to take my baby (people who weren't even there).
Whenever i tell them to back of and slap their hands away they get all offended, yell at me and some even thteaten me with an assult charge (little do they know touching a baby without consent is assult over here).
I think it's safe to say old people are entitled no matter where you live. It must be really hard with twins, you're doing amazing🧡
In America, our families "used to" be cool with moms "getting her mind straight" after having the kids. Families & family support would watch the kids and the grandparents were actively involved (so were the aunties, cousins, etc.).
And there used to be like a "rule" to not take the new baby out until they were a certain age (to not expose them to strangers and environmental stuffs).
LOL! Which America are you talking about?
So beautiful to see Korea looking after the Mums after they give birth. But from experience in New Zealand after having a C-Section we Mother had to try heal and was told to walk often to help heal and get out faster but had to look after my first with less help but only if I wanted to. I just didn't trust my son with anyone. Good on you Korea makes me want to visit for a holiday one day
The babies are so adorable at the end!! Love it girl
Megan, your hair is so long and healthy! Please don't cut it, grow it down to your waist! My hair is down to my waist, it's never been this long but if I'm in the house, they're in curling rods.
