Re: Where did I go wrong ?
Mirch, nothing wrong at all, in fact you are teaching your son to be normal...
We were raised like that....my parents knew all our friends, our friends were very comfortable around my parents, and were aware of our standards and beliefs...which works well because there are less chances of things happening behind your back, or without your knowledge...
The ice is broken, and the cultural/religious differences dont seem like a problem, but a normal part of the American society. You dont have to raise your children in isolation, and neither do you children have to be partying and drinking to feel at ease with their American friends.
The more at ease you are with your son's co-ed friends, the better the chances are for you to develop a healthy relationship with him and his friends.
I would say trust your instincts when it comes to raising your children, the uncles and aunties are only spectators, they too have their own children to raise and worry about.
