Scenario

When parents disagree about their child's cross-cultural relationship

My daughter is dating someone from a different cultural background and my wife thinks we should be more involved in 'guiding' her choices while I think we should stay out of it, and we're realizing we never talked about what we'd do if our kids chose partners we didn't expect.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're confronting the gap between your theoretical values about love and your visceral responses to your child's actual choices.
