There is nothing wrong for them to have more than two kids here, which they couldn't achieve in China. But you are right that if you always to push the kids and compared them with other kids, like most parents in China do. Then it will be a big burden for both the parent and the children.
I noticed one big difference between Chinese tradition and western tradition in having children. Chinese parents expect the success of their children more, namely, pay more attention to final results, wishing the kids become engineers, lawyers and doctors, while the western parents, on the other hand, pay more attention to the process, namely, the happiness and joy they can have from growth of their children. Therefore, western parents are more relaxing and enjoyable to have kids.
好象这都是老掉牙的说法了吧, 好象是八十年代回去的留学生这样来比较中外父母的差别的.
如果有条件, 谁的父母不希望孩子即幸福,快乐又体面聪明? 看看出来的中国父母, 大多数是随孩子的意志, 很少会让孩子为自己去圆梦.
