Half-blood children

I’ve been curious about those who are mixed up or people who were born from parents with different nationalities and languages. I have no idea how they live their lives and so on.

Since love affair is beyond frontier and distance gap is just nothing to couples who speak in different languages, own different eyes and hair color and have a variety of cultures, they can easily link the gap and eventually get married.

I’ve been wondering how the kids, who are born from those couples, are brought up, what language they are taught to speak and what culture the parents expect they to cling to. Who is the one to decide on what the kids are supposed to be, a father or a mother?

The most important thing, what are those kids proud of when they are mixed with two (in some case is more than two) nationalities of their parents? Suppose that the kid is born by Thai mother and American father, what’s the kid’s pride? Being American or Thai? And why?

World class golfer Tiger Wood is half Thai and American, his mother is Thai while his father is American. I don’t think so many people know about this and I’ve never known he’s proud of being Thai, NOT even talk about his pride of being mixed Thai! Maybe he’s Thai at heart but I just can’t see, yeah hope so!

    There are many multilingual kids out there…

    Personally, I would like my kids to learn a) English (as it’s the 2nd most spoken language in the world) b) Mandarin (as China has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, plus it’s the most spoken language and c) What ever my kids mother speaks!
