Share some memories of encounters with people who had very different expectations of their children compared to your own.

Share some memories of encounters with people who had very different expectations of their children compared to your own. (It doesn't matter if you have children or not; just think about what you would have expected in their place.) We tend to think of these situations in terms of good parents and bad parents, but speculate about the possible role of culture. Are there ways to avoid problems when parents with different cultural standards mix?
