If you find on the Internet and read the interviews of Russian -American couples with children, many of them are talking about the role of grandmothers in upbringing . On the one hand, the Americans liked when the Russian grandmother willingly watch the child, took an active part in every process, she was a huge help around the house. On the other hand, the impact of grandmother was so strong that the mother felt that she was replacing by the grandmother and that only grandma knows how to raise a child. Habits are a source of conflict. For example, American children are often running around barefoot, drink iced drinks. A Russian grandmother is always afraid of drafts, of course, due to the Russian climate. It is incomprehensible to Americans.
But these are small things, and that's what matters - the goal of raising a child. Russia believes that the child is a family member, whom they try as much as possible to keep in the family. In American family child-rearing goal - to create an independent person who being 18 years old will leave the family home. Russian grandparents also believe that the Americans kick their children out of the house. Americans believe that the family does its thing, and the world - its own. The basic principle of the Americans:
The society and the world, in fact are fair, but you need to follow the main rules. And in Russia, people often believe that the world is hostile and they need to help their child to help to defend as long as possible.
Russian women cannot understand and cold , from their point of view , relationship of parents to their adult children . Why mothers and fathers- in-law do not want to help young families financially? Or why do they refuse to watch their grandchildren ? Russian newlyweds will not even think that American parents simply do not want to encroach on the independence of their children and their families , they consider this typical " greediness ." But American citizens who decided to live with their �halves" in Russia, cannot accept why all Russian relatives consider it their duty to actively participate in the family life of the newlyweds.
If you pay attention, children from mixed families in America are quite hardy and undemanding compared with their American kids of the same age, they are even more capable of learning. Children of international families who were born and raised in America are less aggressive and more trusting. And if we compare them to Russians, they are more rational , but also more tolerant. Are they all like this? Of course, not. I think everything depends on many factors: where do their families live permanently - in America or Russia. Usually, as a result, the environment and culture are stronger than a family.
