    I think the Chinese grandma is right about getting more involved with outdoor activities. The way her son in law talks to her is not pleasant to me

  • @luvhonest463
    @luvhonest463 5 років тому +206

    Father's view is not fully correct, DouDou will become very self-centred and lack of EQ in long run. Grandma is right to suggest letting DouDou mixes with other children, then she will know how to handle setback, jealousy, etc at younger age.

    Great series indeed. Thank you very much. I can't help saying that the Chinese grandma is a wonderful person, she's frank, she's objective, she loves her freedom and she does have a precious knowledge of kid's psychology which her son-in-law COMPLETELY misses. The Korean mother shows a great personality and strength while respecting the traditions. Her husband unlike I said earlier, is much more childish than her, and in a way, doesn't really respect her. As I notice in my own life, women do have qualities e.g. resilience, hidden strength, that we male rarely have in situation of crisis. Can't wait the next episode.

    The Chinese dad needs to wake up! He's the one who's narrow-minded and traditional in the upbringing of his daughter. His mum-in-law is in fact well-educated, wise and far-sighted. What she's proposing is what most of the western world has already been practising.
    This man just wants to protect his ego, and he has zero respect for the elders - very poor upbringing!

      I agree with you. But i also understand why he did that. He is the father, master of the family, and currently he is not doing very well with his job. A normal man with pride will feel hurt inside when he can not provide for his family as usual. Thats why he became more active on taking care of everyday household work. He did not want to be looked as a good for nothing man. And when man with that kind of situation get lectured on how to run his family ESPECIALLY in a tv show, he would very likely explode. If grandma choose different time and different approach, he may not aggree with her, but at least he would choose his word more carefully.

      A useless man is a poor excuse for using his daughers education as a scapegoat. Everyone experiences downs, but his priority should be focussed on supporting the family instead of finding his ego. I've been to many cities in Asia and 'northern' parts of China apparently especially Beijing are notorious for useless men with fragile egos. The exception was Harbin, made friends with some wonderful and hospital men there with great big hearts. Although some of them worked very labour intensive jobs in order to bring home the pay cheque, they still made time to help with chores at home. Great cooks and not bad looking either. Now that's a man and their wives know it, they don't nag or argue with their husbands because they know they got a good deal.

    I learnt a big lesson from the Korean Cho family. I would advise my daughter not to marry a man like him, certainly not to fall for a big family like his too, Mr Cho’s relatives are selfish and not grateful. His siblings are doing nothing to help the parents. The chauvinism and self centred personally of Mr Cho is from his parents. It is a nightmare for the wife.

    I totally agree with the Chinese. Grandma. As a single mom, I have to force myself go outside do physical activities, which is the only way my son will go outside too. Why study so much? I often told my son: stay healthy is the most important thing. Without being outside playing, running, it will be very difficult for my son to fall asleep at night. Nowadays people dont go outside, get sunlight, just stay inside and using laptop, cell phone, tablet... which is the reason why the number of people with sleep disorder increasing dramatically. Whenever I go to beach, I sleep better at night. Grounding, sunlight, fresh air, running, playing is the best way to stay healthy. All those Chinese students have no weekends, just studying, like a 24/7 machine, when they are in thirties, forties, they would be in poor health. In that situation,, its forsnt matter how much knowledge you have in your brain.

You have to state a lot of information on the website such as educational qualifications. It’s a very pragmatic process and yes quite strange but for the most part it works in India. The Grandfather was not wrong in saying that; educational gaps are very hard to bridge.
