Great interview, Uyen. I am an Australian Mum with 3 sons. The pressure was on me to have a daughter because it is the daughter who is traditionally close to the mother and takes responsibility for the care of their parents. There is a saying 'a son is a son til he takes a wife, a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life.' That being said, I am very close to my daughters-in-law and my sons are the most loving and caring men you could ever meet.

[@EmL-kg5gn]

That’s so interesting! I’m an Aussie too and my parents had only girls. I don’t know if people were rude to my mum but they were to me!!! They’d say how they felt sorry for my dad and go on about the family name and things like that. Maybe it would’ve been better if we weren’t around other Christians so much? I’m not sure though. You’re right about that tradition but even so people made comments about how we’d never be able to provide financially for our parents in their old age or how we’d be too busy with our own kids. You can’t win! My dad always says he wanted girls but he often used to complain about how he didn’t have a son to talk to about cars 🙄 Even though I was interested in them as a child. He made other silly comments so I don’t really believe he wanted girls. Luckily my extended family never cared! I used to stay with my grandparents and they were so kind to me, I often wished I could live with them instead! But they were much better grandparents than they were parents

[@angiew2324]

Did your grandmother have fertility problems? I mean obviously she had at least one child, but I ask because it seems like it's those with fertility issues that think it's rude - at least here in the states, I don't know about other cultures. I don't think it's rude just because the intention is rarely to hurt someone's feelings. It's usually meant as a light, sweet question, even complimentary sometimes because they're implying that you'll be a good mom or dad. Intent is the deciding factor on whether or not something like this is rude, in my opinion. 😊

For anyone interested, recent research has changed the recommendations for clogged milk ducts. They’ve found that it’s related to inflammation, so strong massage and heat are no longer recommended.

[@rmetal1105]

There are really lots of similarities between Vietnam and the Philippines. When I gave birth, my mom and MIL forbid me to take a bath for 1 month!!! But i cleaned myself with a washcloth (with soap and water) every day to remove the dirt and to keep fresh. I also couldn't lay down with my feet towards the electric fan because they said the air might enter my system. Babies are also not allowed to have a haircut until their 1st birthday. And yes, grandparents help with taking care of the children esp if the parents are both working. Grown up children, particularly the daughters, are expected to take care of their old parents and sometimes, parents in law. But i don't expect that from my kids coz they have their own lives to live. It's really frustrating that society still expects a lot from women even if they are working moms. Fortunately for me, my husband shares the household chores and childcare. But some wives are not that lucky. I was just surprised that maternity leave in Vietnam is so short. In the Philippines, it's 105 paid days with additional 15 days for solo parents and an option to extend for another 30 days without pay. Anyway, i'm glad your sister shared her experience with us. I always find it interesting to learn about the culture and practice in other countries. Looking forward to more videos like this

[@irina_vhmc]

Legally, the maternity time in Vietnam is 6 months long and the mother can take it at anytime she wishes. However, many women only take shorter leaves, either because they need to bring in money, to keep her career going during and after the pregnancy, or simply because it's the company's unwritten rule.

[@SatieSatie]

Not allowed to shower or bath for an entire month. Wow. That's just terrible.

I think the problem would be solved if cultures would give up this absurd idea that only sons carry on the bloodline. All daughters carry on the DNA in the same way. And if she marries and has children, the children can also keep the woman's surname. These are simply patriarchal structures that cause a lot of suffering. If you can mentally free yourself from them, you can solve a lot of suffering. It's that simple.

watching your videos is so soul-healing and wholesome. Growing up as a viet kieu my parents held onto their traditional vietnamese views which brought along gender stereotypes and roles. This plus growing up in a predominately white nation put a lot of pressure on me as a kid as I did not agree with some of my parents views and systematic racism made it difficult to fit in, in general. But relating to you and your sister's genuine experiences growing up in vietnam gave me insight into the pressures that my parents had growing up. I really admire you and your sisters role in breaking the stereotypes e.g. being a youtuber and a business women as it showcases that women can be anything while highlighting how inequitable current day society still is, like no one would ask a man when they are planning to have kids knowing that it is a personal question but to women genuine respect is disregarded because it has been normalised for so long

very rarely does breastfeeding just happen naturally without any struggle! it takes guidance and practice ❤

[@christiechung9039]

Breast milk is triggered by natural birth (contractions and giving birth) but it also needs help by constant pumping. All those thing are telling the body to start producing and to produce more milk. In Uyens sister's case, she had C-section and is also first time mom (the stress of making breastfeeding work as a first time mom)

Demand is important to have supply but pumping isn't necessary. I've been breastfeeding non stop for over 4 years (I briefly tandem fed when my second was born) and have barely pumped that whole time. Nursing on demand is sufficient. Not saying breastfeeding is easy, though. I did need a lot of help, especially to get started with my first! So glad I found a good group at a local hospital with and amazing IBCLC!

To add to the pregnancy superstitions- - you're not allowed to eat Gỏi đu đủ (papaya salad). They say it can cause early labor. - after pregnancy you're not allowed to eat anything cold. My mom would say if I do then I would get arthritis when I'm older 🙄 - eat goose eggs daily if you're having a girl so they will come out beautiful - after pregnancy, you should drink/eat black chicken herbal soup.

Breastfeeding is hard. I found using a breastpump, self breast massage from thr collarbone down to the nipple whilst in the bath, drinking plenty of water especially when breastfeeing helped a lot. The using a manual breast pump on obe breast whilst I fed my baby on the other was the number one reason I didn't have as much issues with clogged ducts. I did have one time when it was very painful, but I managed it will all the methods mentioned above after research, and I didn't need medical intervention.

[@daniellamcgee4251]

That is the problem with breastfeeding being a societal taboo. We have no idea until we have just given birth and are trying to figure out breastfeeding for the first time! Some babies have attachment issues, too. It's a steep learning curve! Particularly if you are prone to mastitis, etc. Learning to read your body, and self care is vital!

Stress and anxiety can also impact producing breast milk. I live in the US. When I went back to work after my leave and during my times to pump breast milk I would sing songs to cheer myself up so I can produce more milk 😂.

Two years when my sister gave birth to her son, me and my mom stayed with her for the first week, helping her, cooking, cleaning and watching the baby. my sister lives in another state so we couldnt stay long but my grandma had moved in with my sister and still now my grandma watches over my nephew (her great grandson). how you described general german society, that is similar to general american society. but in my culture (navajo) we are different than general american society and U.S. culture. of course we are americans but because we are a culture within a culture, everyone is a little different. people are just different but its nice to see things in common :)

motherhood across cultures, be it american, german or vietnamese omg the expectations of women going through motherhood are too high!

BREAST MILK. 😂😂😂 I paused the video right before your sister said that, had to do something , came back to the vid and was hit with her saying “BREAST MILK”. Was not prepared. 😂 Amazing video! I learn so much from. Thank you so much!

Your sister spoke so eloquently about a complicated subject, I'm so impressed eith her English and her ability to express such a nuanced topic. This was a really interesting video.

[@KatinkaMai]

Your sister seems to be very nice and it was interesting to get an insight 😊

[@obliviouscandybar]

Thank you to your sister for agreeing to be interviewed. I enjoyed hearing her perspective.

[@auroisflying]

Your sister seems so clever! A pleasure to hear ❤

[@bogmossart]

Your sister seems awesome! Many thanks to her for sharing her experiences. I'm from the US and while I don't have children, a few of my coworkers are pregnant and we work in a relatively male dominated industry. I've been present when other coworkers have commented that after they give birth they aren't going to come back when both of them have said they are. I've talked to one of them and she said she's gotten that comment multiple times. If someone doesn't want to return to work after pregnancy that's their choice, no issue there - it's the automatic assumption and dismissal of what she was actually saying that felt so disrespectful. And it's not just male coworkers who have been saying those things. I wish there was more social support for parents around the world, and that pregnant people got more inherent respect. Thanks again for sharing your experiences!

[@awkward_gravity]

I loved this video. Very interested to learn new things about different people. I would love to see you interview your mom about her life growing up some time. It would be really interesting!

[@ilavalolipop]

I appreciate her sharing her perspective. It was very informative. 👍

[@terischaefer3954]

Thank ypu BOTH for allowing us such ensight into motherhood for modern Vietnamese women. You and your sister are both warm and lovely guides into questions many have about cultures we are unfamiliar with and tend to make assumptions about. We are stateside, and my first child(of 3 now)there was pressure in two very different directions. My grandmother(who had 5 girls) in the most lovingly way, demanded a boy- yes, i said demanded. While my then mother-in-law demanded a girl, because she " already had a boy and wanted a girl dammit!". We also just prayed for happy and healthy children to watch grow. And the adventures all start there! Can not wait to hear more from you both, thank you so very much! 🤗💕💕💕💕
