It's really interesting to me what assumptions are made. There are definitely some great dads in America, but we have our own family problems. Still, it's good to highlight and uphold excellence, and these videos /are/ very cute. :)
I am a father of two daughters. My daughters have THREE daughters. I just LOVE cuddling with my granddaughters, reading them stories, telling them about what life was like when I was little, and making art with them. In January 2021, my wife and I took our two daughter, their husbands, their three daughters, and my mom and step-dad to Walt Disney World in Florida. That's eleven people all together. Eight of us traveled about 4000 miles in a van. It sounds like it would be crowded, noisy, cramped, and time consuming ... and it WAS all of those things! But we had such a great time as a family, all of us together for a whole week. I wish we could do it again, but I spent a large chunk of my retirement money on the trip, so it was definitely a "once in a lifetime" experience. I wish everyone could spend time with their family like we did, especially those who must live under the harsh conditions imposed by the North Korean government. It would warm my heart if I had the means to provide a home for someone from such a place and show them what love can be. That is the only thing we have a surplus of around here.

My family did that when I was in high school. We took my two oldest cousins, so my sister and I would be less likely to fight. We took my mom’s mom. We left Binghamton, NY and my dad drove 27 hours straight to Panama City, FL where my dad’s mom and step-dad lived. We spent a few days there. Then we packed in my paternal grandma and headed to Orlando in our Chevy Caprice station wagon. They were still building Scandinavia at EPCOT at this time. It was a fun trip, but eight people in a station wagon does not leave a lot of leg room. My oldest cousin and I were in the backward facing seat. We had to wait for stuff to be unpacked before we could get out. I still remember some of the weird story my other cousin made up when we were going to Cocoa Beach and to Ron Jon’s Surf Shop. Of course, we competed for types of tractor trailers and license plates that we kept track of in note books.

@@rillua I wish there was a way to get my contact info to you safely without inviting a shit ton of weirdos along with you. Until we figure it out, please consider yourself my virtual granddaughter! I guess we have been lucky in my family. I was especially close to my mother's parents. I spent entire summers with them as a child, their house was the first place I went out of town, alone, after I got my drivers license, their house was the second place I took my new bride after our wedding (mom's house was the first), and they loved to snuggle with my daughters, their great grandchildren, when they came along. I was in my 40s when they passed away. This was partly because we tend to live a long time, but also because I was born at the end of the 1950s when my mom was still a teenager. Good luck to you, Rinesa.

Things are definitely shifting around. Sure, moms are still associated with those things more, but it's becoming more accepted for dads to be the stay at home parent and moms to work, or for both parents to do the household and childrearing duties equally. Even to the point where you're seeing dads in diaper and baby food commercials who don't look like they're completely clueless. It's good to see both parents starting to be represented in caring for the house and kids and no one batting an eye anymore.

She was in another video yesterday or today, I forget. She escaped 2013 and her mom told her to go to America. So she traveled to her mom's Chinese apartment, then went by bus and boat to I believe Laos. Most of the defectors waited in prison for a couple weeks to go to South Korea, but she had to wait 10 months for different American interviews. Then was brought to America and placed with a foster family in 2015 as she was under 18.

This is anecdotal. Not all father's in America are present or loving. Some are abusive or abandon their children and worse. There are good and bad people anywhere you go.
European and Asia are extremely different in the treatment of their children. Countries where men and women can switch jobs easily with very little complaint have a far better chance to raise healthy happy children.

In America, when you become a Dad you are immune to embarrassment. As long as your kids are safe, it doesn't matter what anyone says to you.

I find it strange that she would move to South Korea after living in the United States. Most North or South Koreans choose to stay after living here. It is rare that someone would move back unless it involved a serious healthcare issue or a high paying or prestigious job. A KZread channel can be done from anywhere. Regardless of her motives, I'm happy that she escaped that awful place and has a better life wherever she chooses to be. God bless her.

I think the difference is that in NK it is considered normal for fathers to be cold at best and abusive as a matter of course, while in western cultures we have more of a view that extols affectionate and caring dads and frowns upon excessively harsh fathers. I'm sure there are some NK dads who genuinely care for their children, just as some American fathers are terrible. However, I think the commentary here is reflective of the cultural norms and expectations in the respective countries.
Any totalitarian regime will try to break bonds between family members. Loyalty to the state is first and foremost. Cambodia under Pol Pot was a very good example of re-education where children were separated from their parents at a young age and indoctrinated with state propaganda. They were encouraged to spy on their parents and report disloyalty or transgressions to the local political officer. After generations of such a system it is no surprise that the family unit can be so dysfunctional.

She said she spent several years in America, and apparently she stayed with a foster family (so she was probably a minor when she escaped NK); presumably she learned English while living in the States. Even though she has a few issues with grammar, which is common for Asian-born English-learners (Asian languages use very different grammar from Germanic languages, so it can be really hard for people raised in one of those language-families to perfect grammar use in the other) it's clear she is very comfortable speaking English conversationally, and that she has done so for a while since she speaks fairly quickly and doesn't have to mentally search for words.
It's amazing that people from tyrannical nations are more likely to be appreciative of things.
