Indian Parenting

A detailed Summary of Indian Parenting

Indian parents have rules and regulations on the way that their kids are being raised. They only let them have certain things like Americans, yet they want them to grow up with strong Indian ways. I know that is the way that my parents act about me. I know a lot of other children that feel the same way. There are so many things those Indian adults that expect their kids to do what they did back when they were in India.

Well I made a plan to get gum stuck in my hair so my mother would have to cut my hair. Well I got my hair cut so cute, and from then on I have kept getting it cut. My mother tried saying the same thing about my little sister but I wasn't going to let that happen. I know what she would have to go through. All kids want to be like everyone else. So I take my little sister to the salon and get her hair cut all the time. That's the only little thing that I have noted with my parents. There are some parents that beat their kids because they cut their hair.

Indian parents have come a long way. Some still act the same as they did when they were younger and keep the same rules for their kids as they had. I know my parents

country they are now in. When it comes time to dating at an adolescent age Indians are the worst. It is so wrong to even be seen with the opposite sex. Talking is one thing but sitting down and having lunch is so another. It can be blown out of proportion so badly that, most likely the girls family would get the girl married off because they think she is in a sense "been around town."
