I'm also fascinated by the way parenting is done in Asian societies. They're so much more group-oriented than we are, it's very interesting to see the differences.Mergathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524212169123256518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980654817521200485.post-22522040035683047332012-08-27T16:03:04.944-07:002012-08-27T16:03:04.944-07:00I loved reading the book especially from a sociolo...I loved reading the book especially from a sociological point of view. I would be very interested in observations from other societies as well. Our society could learn a thing or two about parenting. Although, I think every society has good points & bad points. On the points that bugged you, Pamela also said that these things were more common in Paris and didn't extend to the whole country. Parisian women are definitely known for being this way. I spent a summer in the South of France with a french family and they talked about Paris people kinda the way we talk about New Yorkers. So, Pamela's study was only based on what she saw. I think that Americans in general could take note on this point though. I think that we definitely let ourselves go after mothering which is just a shame to me. It feels good to take care of yourself. I have found that through my mothering years that my appearance was a direct reflection of how I felt about myself. I wrote an article (Finding my High Heels) about it on my blog and did a review about this book too :) www.amarmielife.comKrista Montalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276670965420432526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980654817521200485.post-69050953178061503192012-08-27T16:01:59.261-07:002012-08-27T16:01:59.261-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Krista Montalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276670965420432526noreply@blogger.com
