My mother used to say “if you want to be with the adults, you must behave like one of them” I was the one adapting to her life, not the opposite.

Exactly. And there is “acting up” it’s just seen as a kid. And no one shames them for it.

I think what you saw as “chill” behavior might actually be a mix of fear and social pressure. In many Eastern European cultures, appearances matter a lot, especially in public, so parents are often very concerned with how their kids are perceived. That doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship is healthy. Discipline can be really strict, just not always in front of others. I grew up around a large Romanian community, and this kind of authoritarian dynamic between parents and kids was pretty common. Of course, not every family is like that, and things have been changing over the years, but it’s important to recognize that obedience doesn’t always equal emotional well-being.

We are ”chilled”, and we don’t fuss.? We don’t have this stress like a list of rules of ”how it should be, according to others ”

When kids feel safe to express themselve even if that means occasionally being loud, emotional, or defianlyntey’re learning how to communicate, set boundaries, and process feelings in a healthy way. It might look messy in the moment, but it often leads to stronger relationships, higher emotional intelligence, and better long-term confidence.
as a Romanian who grew up in the US, this is why I didn't pursue and Romanian guys, to my parents disapproval, because they were raise to equate love with control.

It also takes stress free parents which is extremely hard to do when everyone at the restaurant is judging you and your kids

But surely people must be able to realise that living a normal life and enjoy holidays with your kids is achievable without it being modelled?

I didn't watch the other video, but I go to Italy every summer. My husband constantly says Italian little kids are all brats. He was a brat.

I think in America part of the problem is the stress from being a bad parent while here when a kid acts up its seen as normal

It comes down to expectations. European parents assume their children will cooperate and adapt.

There is a learning curve, you can’t teach a kid to behave in a restaurant if you never go to restaurants

Would love to have the conversation about how kids are expected to be hidden away in America and judged harshly. Doesn’t help things.
