Uhh... Even when i'm sober i have no idea whatyou are saying.
icnif77:
You can say in Chinese: 'No ming bai' or 'Zhi bu dao'. Vicky knowsss. I'm thinking, it might be psychological: 'as soon as you see white cat, your mind gets into a block'. I'll get brown cat pic.

@expat: I guess, it was popular, because everybody was guessing 'what that means?', before click.
I think, Phil could learn much about 'how to write popular Q, and get milion hits' at this thread.
Chinese parents bring their kids everywhere, KTVs, bars, mahjong dens, you name it. Problem is, nobody is taking care of the kids at home and no one wants to stay back with the kid, so they bring them along. I've seen kids sprawled on the floor asleep while the mother keeps on playing mahjong and this is in the dead of winter at 3am! It reminds me of mothers in Japan leaving the kid baking in the car while she plays pachinko - a few of the kids died of dehydration unfortunately. In China, I wonder how these kids will grow up and what they will be like when they do. Will they emulate their parents? Very likely. Anyway, this is one of the things we see here that irks us.
I basically agree what Louischuahum says.
A couple of comments. I am a child of the 1970ies. Bike helmets, seatbelts, smoke filled rooms. All part of everyday life. The human body is very capable of dealing with crap (except being fried in a car on a sunny day) Today's western societies deal with kids, often as if they are made of china (the porcelain, not the country) and this might not be the best way either. I recently read about "kids" who needed tho bring their parents when they apply for university.... that is a grown person, if you can't do that yourself, then maybe just give up and live on the streets. That too is a failure of parenting.
Chinese parents are brining the best of both worlds. There is no concept of what is important during hte formative years. The diet offered is crap, no proper sleeping pattern (even in Nap country, how is that possible) anything that has to do with safety is not know..... I was at a one year birthday party, lots of kids. ONE kid came in a child seat. This was a huge novelty for all. People asking what the contraption was for.
Anyway. Bringing a kid to a bar or KTV might not be the worst of Chinese parents

When you walk on the streets of China, and you see a grown up and a child. Look how often the child is dragged about by its wrist. This is control out of necessity. Holding the hand is care out of love. A small example that tells a lot about parenting.
louischuahm:
You are right. It reminds me about the invisible umbilical cord. It appears that the y don't want it detached. Kids grow up fully dependent on their parents. Little emperors and princesses.
Scandinavian:
I was talking to a guy the other day. He was asking me about kindergartens in the west. Never having attended kindergarten I couldn't really talk much about it, but one thing he asked was if the "teachers do not play with the kids? is it true the kids have to play themselves" sigh.
RiriRiri:
I have seen leashes too. I think the next step would be cages.
You just got to compare the families you can see on a sunday at Starbuck or whatever the expat rally point is where you live, with the local families.
Chinese kids : zero acknowledgement of anything happening around, constant yelling, going hysterical when something pressing is going on and yelling isn't enough.
Chinese parents : zero acknowledgement of anything happening around, including the fact they might be the owners of that little thing running and yelling around.
Chinese grandparents : taking care of the most crucial things in the world, such as making sure the kid is constantly ventilated in summer and has a wet towel on the neck.
Scandinavian:
Maybe a leash would have save that little girl who was run over by 18 cars.
