BonoManiac said:Let me ask you: are both your parents of Italian descent? If so, was it them that sheltered you? Were they born in the States or in Italy? Are they particularly traditional in their thinking?

My mom is the Italian, and she's very cool. Neither of them really sheltered me, and looking back, I was never really "sheltered" per se as more of it being my own doing. Does that make sense?
Are both of your parents Italian, and did you get that kind of treatment, even though you're a male?

Sicy said:Well my Dad's parents/grandparents are from Sicily but he was born in the U.S. My mom was born in Rome and moved here when she was 26. I lived at home until I was about 26 But I know how to use a washing machine They are kind of old fashioned but over the last say 10 years my mom has totally broken out of this shell and she is very 'hip' and 'cool' now She doesnt just sit at home and cook and clean.. she has a life and she is always out doing things. My dad is still an non-emotion-showing hot tempered man so between the two they've balanced out me and my brother.
Lila64 said:The sheltered thing and not learning how to cook/clean may be a problem with the next generation of kids, and not having anything to do with being Italian. Maddy is just learning how to do laundry. She brought her notepad out and took notes. She doesn't really know how to do other things

Yeah, but she's 13, so at least she's starting relatively early. I'm not trying to bring this down to a race thing, I'm just relaying what I've observed.
But good for you for teaching her these things!
