Re: ...Cultural Clash...
Can I give you a slightly different perspective on this?
My parents, myself and my siblings all born in Africa. My parents are pretty much open-mided without being too liberal. But yet I know they still consider us their "children" and always will. They do not make the unreasonable demands like following us on honeymoons etc but I know they are pretty much concerned about how we live our lives as well as bring up our kids...ie they show concern but do not force their beliefs down us.
So what I am tring to say is that if you are the first generation to leave your roots the culture clash will be there. You will see a more seamless relationship with your kids and they in turn with theirs. But in any case the complete letting go of kids and making them independent will still take plenty more generations for South Asians!
Hope I make sense.
