When you are in love you don't notice race. I am a white Russian woman and my hubby is a South African Indian. Sometimes people ask me how it is to be in Inter racial marriage, but for me it is the only marriage I have ever been to, so I struggle to figure what would the difference be 😄 I get the cultural differences etc. but I wouldn't necessarily connect them to a race or an ethnicity, it is more about the values. I have much more differences which lots of white folks than I do with my husband in terms of values. And if we prefer different food or celebrate different festivals it s just an opportunity to learn and try new things, hardly a problem. I think the same is for your mom and dad. Despite two different cultures and upbringings, their values and life goals are aligned so beautifully 🥰 P. S. Your mum is such a gem, she is absolutely precious❤❤❤

I am starting to catch up on the channel. Kirk's mom is such a good mom. I laughed about the Capri Sun. I remember that being a major negotiating/trade item at elementary lunch times (in the United States playground lol). I am at the end tail of Gen X, born in 79, so that happened during my time too lol. My side of the family is Turkic-Russian. Our people are pretty scattered across the Balkans and Central Asia. We have a lot of similar customs to Middle Eastern people too, because the Seljuk Turks were very influential and had very close relations with Persia. The Mongolian people also influenced us. These two giant Empires sandwiched us in lol. Until the Ottoman Empire sprung up. We have a lot of carbs in our diet too. Mostly rice. Sometimes egg types of noodles. There are even some good Turkic dishes for potatoes (though that may be a more new addition, by new I mean after the new world exploration and trade with the West). Young children in our culture especially eat a lot of carbs. It's like they like the tastes of plain foods and need time to embrace all of the heavy spices in our foods lol. We usually centralize all the food in the middle of the table. With many serving plates full of different foods. Each course or food has it's own plate, but the table can often be very full with them so you can see very little of the table. Everyone shares all the plates. We don't sometimes have separate individual plates. We either have our own spoon, or we can use a bread or something to scoop the food up (depending on the dish). Also, we feed anyone who happens to pop over that moment. So it seems like a lot of food, but when you have 8-10 people eating it's the right amount. There is sometimes not any left overs. Also eating in huge groups does cut back on over eating in our culture. People are talking a lot and eating very slowly. Meal time is the closest family time for us probably. And how will socialize the most with friends of the family too. :-)
