not even close...we (ME) don't expect our wife's to do what ever our mothers want....White guys tell there mommy's when they are available, not how some Hmong men I know will do whatever there parents ask, even if it wqas to inconvenience plans they may have already set as a family. LIKE TELLING THERE WIFE AND I TONIGHT THAT WE ARE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN TO HELP SOME ELSE WITH THERE PARTY, and to be there at 6am..When I go to y family Gatherings my wife does not go to the kitchen to see where she can help out...She does it because she want's to, NOT because that's where all the women are at anyways.
don't take it to heart, it was just a rant.
but hmong parents do have some wierd assumptions about their nyab's aka daughter-in-laws. they think it's a code of ethics to have a nyab who knows her role because she's from a traditional hmong family.
it's always who you marry and their family lifestyle. lifestyle is not that important when you're in love because you don't care about other people's way of living but afterwards it will drive you up the wall because it's going to affect your priorities and the way you run your life.
remember, family will always be family first.
