Summary

Have you ever wondered how your parents raised you versus how you would raise your own children? My mom would tell me these stories about how we were weaned off diapers by the age of 1, that talk about SIDS and safe co-sleeping was not a popular topic of conversation, that we were spanked as a form of discipline, and organic foods? Who needs that! On this episode, I bring my mom, Momma Wu, on to talk about the differences between parenting as an immigrant mother in the 1990s and parenting as a second-generation Asian American, now, in the 21st century. If you resonated with this episode, share in the comments of AsianBossGirl’s latest Instagram post, linked here. I hope you enjoy! #SpillTheBabyTea __________________________________________ Host: Helen Wu Editor: Victoria Cheng __________________________________________ C O N N E C T W I T H U S • Subscribe and Follow us @asianbossgirl on Apple Podcasts/Spotify/Amazon Music/YouTube/Instagram/Twitter/Facebook • Listener Survey: Let us know your thoughts on the podcast here • Shoutouts: Give a shoutout on the podcast here • Email: hello@asianbossgirl.com __________________________________________ S U P P O R T U S • Merch: asianbossgirl.myshopify.com • Donate: anchor.fm/asianbossgirl/support • More about us at asianbossgirl.com Learn more about your ad choices.
