The Kids look cute

i think some people have a little bit of an anger problem that they need to deal with....cough cough. Britney is doing great and that is great.

I lived in Germany for 7 years. Hardly selfish. German mom's get three years of paid maternity leave. We get 6 weeks.

Yes, that's a wagon. It seems like it is the only thing they are allowed to do outside. Couldn't one of them get a tricycle?

"They took a ride in a red toy convertible as Lynne chatted with the boys' nanny."

It's called a wagon.

If I had one wish granted to me, it would be to never read another thing from Chantal again. Dear Chantal, do shut up.

I never ever said that those perceptions were MY beliefs. In fact, I thought I made it clear. I was responding to Chantal's repeated insinuations that ALL Americans are bad parents and I was saying that my husband hears stereotypes FROM OTHER GERMANS AND OTHER EUROPEANS about GERMAN PARENTING STYLES and I was saying that I DON'T BELIEVE IT BUT IT IS AN OPINION OF SOME and my point AGAIN was that it is bad to generalize!!
I am not generalizing. I never said that I THINK THIS WAY.

To 5:27: I happen to be German AND a Parent and I don't consider myself to be selfish at ALL. Re-read your post; you completely contridic yourself on all the issues you talk about. And then you have the nerve to tell someone else to have respect? What who you call the kettle black missy!

Good for them. Please read my post carefully--I said it was a perception that has become common but I also said that I didn't believe it nor did I insist that it was true.
I was making a point about not generalizing.
LOL at your dumplings comment, though.

My husband travels quite a bit, especially in Europe and we also have several friends who are European--specifically from Germany, Iceland, and England. My father in law also travels for his job and has business relationships with many foreigners.
Anyway, the idea is--and this is coming from all walks of all life from many different countries--that Germans are selfish, way more interested in their careers and are completely disinterested in having children.
I'm not saying that this is true or that I even believe it. I'm just saying it to make a point that it's not a good idea to generalize--you might get it thrown back in your face.
Yes, you are right about something. Many parents in America are bad parents. Many parents overuse childcare and nannies. However, not ALL Americans are like this. MANY, including my husband and myself, have made some serious sacrifices for me to stay home with our children and raise them to be responsible, morally concious citizens. Respect for others is a big thing with us. You'd do well to show the same.
