The Italian culture and the Taiwanese culture there are some similarities like we both care lots and lots about food but there are also some similar. The Italians are so laid back about certain things whereas like me as a Taiwanese mother I'm such a control freak about about certain things. But then there's other things that will flip like you know I broke I was cooking spaghetti one day and I like broke it in half and my husband I thought he was going to have like a fit or something because he's like you do not break pastaYou can tell from even my response here that the parenting has not been figured out, she says.
