I am a little bit of both cultures because I did grow up here after all. Some things I am more Armenian then others and other times more American. CD will be the first generation for my side of the family. My husband is half Italian-American and half Puerto Rican. So for his family it's just another American. But I hope CD will get to know her heritages.<BR/><BR/>Ani<BR/>foodiechickie.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237710.post-73988380574196526572008-03-31T19:33:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:33:00.000-07:00This is very interesting for me to read about.

I suppose I get a glimpse of that when I travel abroad. So I can really see why you'd have those feelings and it seems perfectly natural to me. And it's not unpatriotic ... it's adjustment .. it's not what you're used to.Jesserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013474410670354084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237710.post-5193809086781266152008-03-31T17:31:00.000-07:002008-03-31T17:31:00.000-07:00You are normal.

I think we all could learn a little about being more personable and I wish more people would greet and say goodbye with a hug, at least. We've become a society of cold uncaring people and that's sad to me. Hell some families don't even hug each other any more. <BR/><BR/>Showing people you care is important. God forbid if something happened to someone I cared about (not just family) and I felt like they didn't know how much I cared about them.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772889714727510805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237710.post-89778110622853739662008-03-31T14:55:00.000-07:002008-03-31T14:55:00.000-07:00I was born and raised in Phoenix, third generation...I was born and raised in Phoenix, third generation U.S. I don't speak Spanish, although I can understand and do some writing. I used to say my name with the H. I do hug and kiss, but not generally acquaintances. My mother was very proud of her Mexican heritage. <BR/><BR/>I'm curious why you would feel odd. You seem perfectly normal to me from what I've read here. I think I need more examples, besides some odd is good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
