  • They’ll get the ties to your country through you, like all immigrant and first-gen kids do. They’ll just be closer to the culture they live in. Speak your native language, feed them traditional food from your country, show them music or movies from your country, things like that. Take them on trips to visit your country, if that’s doable. I’m first-generation Canadian with Portuguese parents and through things like that, I’ve always felt Portuguese. Definitely more Canadian, but also Portuguese.




  • I don’t. I have five, all decently large. My tastes have changed since I got my first one ~15 years ago but I like to see it. I was 18 when I got it, so it’s been with me my entire adult life. It was the first thing I did after turning 18, and it reminds me of who I was as a kid and what was important to me. I’m a parent now and I like the reminder, since it’s so easy to forget what it was like being a kid. I spent months researching artists before getting it. My husband regrets his, though. He got his on a whim in high school at somebody’s apartment. They were not sober. It wasn’t done well and just doesn’t look good and he wants it covered up.















  • I also want to point out that you can feed your baby/toddler all the “good” foods and none of the “bad” foods and they can still become picky and reject the things they used to eat. My kids ate all the same things yours did and then one day when they were each about three, they decided they didn’t eat anything anymore. Some days I can only get rice into one kid and eggs into the other.
