Raising A Child With Your Asian Wife

By Mi Hung


I am sure your wedding day with your Asian wife was beautiful! And maybe honey moon was even more amazing! You have entered a new chapter of your life as a married man. Sooner or later, you will need to talk to your new wife about raising the baby.

In most cases, your Asian wife will agree what her mother says. But what you really should pay attention to it when you are having a baby with your new wife. Here are some key points:

Always hold your peace. This is always very important. I understand you know a lot while you are dating your Asian girlfriend. But when you are married to her, then you are actually entering her family. So no need to be panic or angry, always hold your peace.

What is the advantage of your children? The children of you and your Asian wife are often pretty good looking and beautiful. As he or she inherits the great feature from you both. Actually in the entertainment industry in Asia, you can see mixed race young people are making fairly great salary.

Language Learning: Ask your wife opinion about it. If your Asian wife was not born and raised in the west, then you and your wife probably speak two languages at home. So which language should you teach your kid first? Should you teach them English or let your wife to teach them? In fact, maybe it's a good idea to get your child to be educated in a bi-lingual environment. Then you child will get much more advantage for the language ability then other kids in Asia

Remember you and your Asian wife are from different culture background. Besides you and your Asian bride speak different language, you need to know at the beginning you and your wife are born and raised in the totally different cultural environment. Since your child was born, it becomes harder to manage the relationship. Let me tell you why, you will experience lots of questions like education (should your children go to international school or local school? Or should your children follow the mother's or yours?)

How to deal with culture different with your Asian wife? You might be get used to culture difference when you were dating your Asian wife, but after the kid was born, more culture issue is coming! Here is the simple one: should the kid go to study at international school or local school? The bigger question is like tradition or value. Make sure to talk to your wife time to time

Actually, there are lots of private school that are pretty much teaching in the western way. So consider this as another option when it comes to education.
