Kaye thinks Americans could learn a lesson from the Chinese approach
An American fashion designer who spent 16 years in Shanghai has published an essay in the New York Times highlighting the virtues of raising her children under the watchful and authoritarian eye of the Chinese government.
Heather Kaye, 49, arrived in Shanghai in 2006 with her husband George and planned to stay for a year. But the couple stayed and ended up raising their two daughters there. However, in 2022 the family was driven to return to the US after living for two years under the country's draconian COVID-19 policies.
She has now described her return to Washington DC as a 'culture shock' that makes her miss the way her children were 'co-parented by the Chinese government'.
Kaye acknowledged the ways in which the Chinese Communist Party would insert itself into family life, be it by controlling what her kids ate or by dictating the number of hours they should sleep at night.
'In China, government co-parenting begins in the womb,' she wrote, referring to the limits on how many children parents were allowed, which have since been relaxed.
She added that not long after enrolling her kids in state-run schools it started controlling how her kids should live.
'Chinese kindergarten lectured us on everything, including how many hours our daughters should sleep, what they should eat and their optimal weight,' she said.
But she claimed she was grateful for the discipline instilled in her two daughters, born in 2008 and 2010, at school.

Liberal white women are the worst. And often are dumb.
The minute the government tells her who she can and cannot have sex with, she’ll have a screaming fit. Liberals only understand sexual freedom. No other kind even registers.
Did they have any Pride flags? BLM flags? Purple-haired teachers?
GTF out of my country, slave.
Put her on a Watch List .
That's a CCP Spy .
Fake failed designer funded by the CCP .
Well move back there Heather Kaye.
poster child for useful idiot
You are right. The longer and original version was in the NY Times. It goes more extensively into her slave mentality.......
“We sometimes felt as if our children were on loan to us for evenings and weekends, to be delivered back to school each weekday.”

“’In China, government co-parenting begins in the womb,’”
Except for that 40 million times when the government decided it didn’t want to co-parent.
this is the way the typical white suburban soccer mom thinks. They will vote us into what this woman misses about china.
I want to know about useful idiots like this. We all need to know about these people and where they are. They will vote and will be attending school board meetings pushing what she misses in china. None of our media will put her and her flawed thinking out there for everyone to see.
ok, she was in the new york times opinion. Well thank you to the daily mail for putting it out there for all of us who don’t read that useless fish wrap new york times.
