I seriously had to pause after that and take my headphones off to just process what I heard... Obviously I can't speak on the entirety of the American experience, but when I was growing up, having a fan meant you didn't have AC - generally meant you were "poor" (term used loosely). Damn, I'll never complain about not having air conditioning when I was a kid again - at least we had fans. Multiple fans.

@@karibranoff2000 We had 3 working electric fans: one for each bedroom, and one for general circulation. Our version of 'air conditioning' was opening all the windows and doors all the way in the morning and turning the fans inward. Once outside hit 80, everything got shut, and the fans turned off. Once INSIDE hit 80, one fan was put in front of the window in the shade, and the window got open so the heat could be blown out. Once 5:30 or so hit, everything got opened back up again. I think the hottest it got inside was 84-86, while the outside got to 105. Even then, I was still grateful to have what we did, because I was outside working in that 100+ sun. 80's was bliss to come inside to. And I knew there were people that had it worse off. Granted, it was in the abstract sense. This video just kind of reaffirmed it.

When I was a small child, I lived in deep-South Texas, minutes from the border with Mexico. I can recall living in a shack of a house that had two rooms, a "living room" and a kitchen. There was no indoor plumbing, no central heating/air. We had an outhouse and a fan in a window. All of us slept in the living room, and had to bathe in buckets outside. Whenever people who didn't go through that complain about their life here in the US, I like to tell them about that house and what I lived through in it. By the time I'm done describing the horrid semi-tropical heat, the mold and mildew, and how it is that I know for a fact that roaches bite, they generally change their tune. The best way I can think to describe most Americans is as victims of their own success.
"You can't live like this if you're a normal citizen" And it shows a picture of what looks like an old soviet apartment with one table, one chair and a picture. That's how you know how badly the people are getting treated by the North Korean government.

The breakfast and homes range from family to family. Most families in the US don't eat bacon and eggs during the week; just usually on weekends. It's cereal, toast, yogurt, milk, some fruit, and coffee during the week. Most families are busy during the week. I am an American living in Japan. Here, during the week, I usually eat rice, miso soup with vegetables, toast, and coffee.

Oh my!... My life is completely different than what you've shown the typical American life to be like. My husband, 5 year old and I all live together in a 1 story studio house out in the middle of the desert. It has 2 rooms total if you include the bathroom as a room. We all sleep in the same bed because there is no room for a bed for our 5 year old (She has a bed, there's just no room for it in the house.). We have unsealed concrete floors instead of hardwood or tile. We usually eat toast or waffles for breakfast. Sometimes I have avocado on my toast when I can afford it. Sometimes my husband and our 5 year old eats cheesy eggs with their toast. Sometimes we have potato for breakfast. We have a toaster oven in place of an actual oven/stove, no dish washer and we have a portable cook top in place of a stove (It's just one burner). We have a portable heater and an air conditioner to heat and cool our place. Thank God we have a washing machine and dryer. We all have smart phones and we do have a tv, but it's not as big as the one shown in North Korea. My husband is up at 4:30am, while I get up at around 7:30am and my 5 year old gets up at 9am (It's easier to get chores done while she's asleep.). Even though we seem to have less than the average American, we are happy and we have the things we need, such as a roof over our heads and food for our bellies. We are warm/cold when we need to be. I home school our 5 year old and WOW she is smart. We are grateful for what God has given us.
I like how she sees the distinction that when doing laundry the machine is doing the work.
To be fair, there is no mother in the US who will be on camera without thinking her house and kids look pretty good. The stressed, yelling and busy mothers do not have time or resources to set up a camera and probably also have to head to work and drop the kids off at a daycare etc. The Vlog moms are not the rule. Plenty of kids do not have fresh fruit everyday as it's expensive, so there may be canned applesauce or whatever and fresh stuff on the weekends. I'd love to see a North Korean's reaction to a food bank or soup kitchen in the US. Especially in cities, there can be a lot of hungry people. Also- react to Supernanny US? See the bad behavior of some kids lol

On the other side of that, 40% of North Koreans suffer from severe food shortages and 20% of the children are malnourished. It's estimated that more than 70% of people there rely on food assistance. This is better than the 1990s famine that killed over 3 million North Koreans, but that's a very low bar. So, while many Americans have far from ideal food circumstances, things like food banks, food stamps, etc... might still make the US look better.

The NK reaction to a food bank or soup kitchen is that they would be in awe of how much food the people that use them get. Many many people (and I mean well more than 1/2) of the citizens in NK are literally starving. And for them even having a cup of rice a day is a great day.
My wife is Philippina and I'm Mexican. I start my mornings with tortilla or bread and she starts hers with rice. Rice is life in the Asian community just like tortillas in the Mexican community lol
She has such a sweet & positive attitude! I enjoyed listening to her 😁

True, she didn't see a typical American woman's morning. Yet, seeing this, even as poor as I am I live a far better and more convenient life than she could probably even imagine. Makes you really grateful for what you have.

This morning really represented a weekend morning to me. Weekdays go very different for us.
At my house my husband goes to work at 1am latest 1:30am and returns around 3pm so his food schedule from Tuesday to Thursday are 12:30 breakfast and a packed lunch. He likes it simple bc he has little time to eat so it's usually 4 ham & cheese on sweet roll sliders with grapes/ strawberries or which ever fruit is in season and dinner is right before he goes to sleep. Mondays are 10am so he has a normal Sunday schedule and morning breakfast. Friday's is long hours so he does a weekday schedule but it's 6 sliders and a vegie and fruit. Sometimes a sweet added. ❣at home we have normal hours for a high school student and 2 cats and myself. Wake up at 5am dress eat and leave for school around 6:30am. Son will get home around 3pm. ❣I do the running around doing appointments, checking on neighbors who need assistance and grabbing what ever we need for food and cleaning the house since I'm the only one with free time right now. 🌸hope this helps some.

Especially, when opting out of paying taxes will land you in prison (at least for us normal folks). The government collects money from us our entire lives under the promise that in our old age when we are no longer able to work to support ourselves, they will give us back that money to live. Why can’t the same be done for our taxes for parental care? Might I add that this deduction is also not optional. As pointed out numerous times, it’s not the government taking care of us. It’s our money! It’s our money that the government “stole” or “borrowed” or however you want to think of it. It’s the money I worked hard for and instead of watching it being spent on some political nonsense I find disgusting and ending up in overbloated politicians pockets, I’d much rather that money come back to the people who actually worked for it! So you find the idea of people wanting to use the taxes they paid to the government for things they actually need repulsive?

The "morning routine" in the U.S. is like no other. We are one of the only countries in the world that has 24 hour stores, so for some, the morning begins way before 7 a.m. The food also varies. I'm Hispanic and eat breakfast tacos (usually), but I have a Korean friend who eats rice. We're so varied as a nation that the "routine" that this video speaks of is not really a "routine". **On a side note, I must say, while not meaning any harm or negativity, that Koreans (from my experience) seem to think of Americand as blonde haired, blue eyes, working 8-5 jobs. Why hasn't this channel ever mentioned minorities as the "American"? I wonder if it will ever be mentioned...

This lady is amazing. Family love is the same no matter one's country! Her spirit is inspiring.
This lady is truly giving me a different perspective and making me see how much more I should appreciate modern conveniences like having a washing machine in my home
"the literal scene of moms" we all mom different and have different ways of life, but we're all more similar than we realize. ❤️
Thank you for sharing your culture, It is very interesting to see how someone else has a different set of life experiences.
She's absolutely right. As the country advances life changes and gets better for the people. I love her positivity and her smile is contagious.
In US everyone have different cultures, mine is Crecole Cajun culture. My mom always woke up way early because I was born with spina bifida. My mom make whole meal during breakfast. During snack time she would give me carrots knowing I love chewing on it. She passing on our food culture to me. My mom teach me so much when I become a mother.
Love this video. I literally laughed out loud when she called the one house "gnarly." 😁
This is upper, or high income people. This doesn't reflect the "average."
So nice to see her Not in a Uniform .. it humanizes her more
Makes me feel so lucky to have machines to help. I am a lower class mom so my kids share a bedroom. There's diversity and inequality in America; so not everyone has enough food but we do have access to many machines.

Please don't think of yourself as someone "lower class", you're a mum and you're doing the best you can for your kids. Children don't suffer if they have to share a room.

@@odala8245 Yeah, my elderly relatives grew up in houses with 6 children or more and they all shared rooms but they were the happiest, healthiest people I have ever known. Their lives were all filled with stories and laughter and love. I have never made $40,000 and have barely made $30,000 and mostly made in the $20,000 range but food is the one thing that is fairly easy to get. There are so many food pantries and churches and food stamps and soup kitchens and Salvation Army. Rent and having a vehicle are harder.
Her skin is goals.
Lol nice reaction buddy ! Yup .. I agree , cannot wait for things to lighten up ! Cheers from Texas ! Btw : Texas Longhorns is college football # Texas football is religion down these parts “ Hook’em’.. Horns !! 🤘🏼Lol best of luck .
I rarely eat breakfast and just drink coffee in the morning. There are so many different ethnicities, religions, beliefs and lifestyles in the US that not every household is the same. I think this is a pretty fair and equitable representation of how most US households have breakfast but the food choices vary greatly.
Hears that the mother wakes up at 7 am Me who wakes up at 4am 🥲 Btw: I think the mom was a stay at home mom which would explain it but correct me if I'm wrong 🤔😅
Grew up like her, but now I am eating snacks watching whatever I want on KZread. I will never complain again.
Flashback to when I thought I was grown at 6 and my mom let me eat cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner cause I couldn’t cook lol
You are so sweet, brave and strong. God Bless you and thank you for sharing your life experience with us.
I’m really surprised they didn’t link Brianna K in the description. Also though, her morning isn’t typical- she’s an SAHM influencer.
I think more people need to watch her videos. Maybe they will be more appreciative of this country and be grateful they have it so much better here.
You are so sweet and beautiful and these things are so new and different to you. I have lived in a home without electricity and no water plumbing. It is different, but not terrible. I'm glad you went through this because it makes you appreciate what you have. Today's children are so spoiled and take for granted everything. I'm glad you and your family are not that way at all! I'm glad you are free from all the dismal things that are common in North Korea. I love watching your channel!! May God Bless you and your family in every way!
I'm really sorry your sisters are left behind. Can you get any information about them? I hope you will be reunited someday.
The way she said “they are not hungry?” broke my heart.
"Women's free time is also likely to be guaranteed..." That would be nice.

My household we rarely (well not me I’m cooking it) but on the weekends! School days or work days, we grab on the go honestly, like granola bars, breakfast bars, or dry cereal while munching on the way to work or going to the bus stop. Breakfast isn’t the most important meal of the day, it’s coffee lol.

🐰🐥🐇🐣 As I growing up my Dad told me we are Rich by Heart & Soul. He also says to Family & Friends. That all U (we) need.✨
She talks with such grace.
Enjoyed your commentary on the various differences women face in each of the three countries. Thank you for your time! "Daily Life of U.S. Mother."
I'm an American and even I am watching this American mom's morning routine with wonderment. So calm and presentable - I'm sure I am scaring half my neighbors walking my dogs outside at 5 am, bed hair, pajamas on, and brushing my teeth at the same time.
Is this lady not going to get in trouble? NK are probably following her ever since she left the country. Stay safe!
Thank you Ahn for sharing your experience with us!💖
I grew up in the US and we all slept in the same room until like 5 or 6 (it is a 3 bedroom house). Maybe because I'm half asian. I still don't understand putting babies in their own rooms though. Makes me nervous, lol.

I'm someone who grew up in a household where everyone had their own room. And most houses within my family structure were fairly large, and there was always something in me that felt we were all doing it wrong. That our homes were too big, and that were weren't sharing the space enough. Truthfully, sometimes in a quiet moment, I Sit back in my current living room and imagine it filled with people, all finding someplace to bed down, on couches and floors and a few people smooshed into a bed or two, and just being together. It feels right and normal. Apparently my dad, who I don't see very often, grew up sharing a tiny home with his family and a small attic bedroom with his sisters. To me that sounds far more cozy,
My day usually begins around 6:30am. What I eat varies between Eggs, turkey bacon, and toast, to Oatmeal and toast, to yogurt and fruit and a bagel w/cream cheese. On the weekends we sometimes treat ourselves to some fresh donuts and coffee. After breakfast, I sip my coffee on the back deck while my dogs use the potty and play for a bit. Then housecleaning begins...dishes, vacuuming, sweeping dusting, making beds, doing laundry. Once that's done I relax for a while before having a light lunch. Then I plan dinner for my family. By 7 or 8pm I'm pretty tuckered out. On the weekends when my grandchildren are here I have so much more to do and am usually asleep by 7pm.
She has the most beautiful complexion. Koreans are known for great skin care, and here's proof! In Canada, routines, choices and food preferences vary vastly. I often skip breakfast, but when I have it, it's eggs, turkey bacon and tea. My teens eat a variety of things- smoothies, eggs, oatmeal, french toast, cereal...
Breakfast varies so much. Like growing up id eat a full breakfast maybe 5 times a year. Christmas, easter, and if my dad was in the mood to randomly make french toast on weekends. Otherwise if i even ate breakfast which my final year of school i didnt but id have cereal until i had a streak of eating either a pop tart or a bagel or English muffin peanut butter on them.
It really seems that so many commenting on this video have never watched other Dimple videos about North Korean military men and women who have defected to Korea and are shown the "other side" America and South Korea. North Korea is so poor and rigid many are shocked at the difference both in life and in our armies. Watch several other solders who were able to get out of North Korea. Very, very interesting!!!

Videos like this should be shown in every household before someone walks out the door to start their day. Maybe it could help people be more thankful for what they have and less bitter about what they don't. *There* *but* *by* *the* *grace* *of* *GOD* *go* *I*
