Dictating even what they should eat - and wants U.S. to learn from its example Heather Kaye raised her two daughters in China and enjoyed its supervision The fashion designer spent 16 years in Shanghai before returning to the US
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.

What a communist drip. We have the same thinking over here, where single women get married to The State. Dependent on it for cash etc etc.
What she is imbibing from the CCP, is what grandmothers and mothers are supposed to teach women with babies and toddlers. Friends too, help you learn
Freedom is not for the lazy.
This kind of thinking is already deep in CA voters minds.
One party rule has given no alternative.
Freedom is too good for some people.
If only there were choices available on this planet! You know, countries where you could go live under a dictatorship, and other countries where you could go that were Free. Celebrate the diversity of nations. Flush WEF down the toilet.

She’s just like every other single mom in America and this is the reason why they overwhelmingly vote democrat - they want the government to be their husbands and raise their kids.
But she did leave because of China's extreme covid policy. Moron doesn't understand "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have."
I sold my medical practice to raise my kids. (Basically moved into my kids school.)
Lady it’s your job to put your kids first.
The thought of letting strangers do it is beyond disgusting.
Not much of a mother then, is she?
The nice part about being an American is that you can LEAVE and go wherever you feel most comfortable.
I am pretty sure there is a plane leaving an airport close to her that will eventually get her to China!
GO! BE CONTROLLED! Because apparently, she is unable to do parenting on her own!
Doesn’t have much of a husband either.
Some people love authoritarian regimes
She looks as stupid as her writing
No brains
She should move back to commie land and take her libtard buddies with her
Double Bag Barf Alert!
CCP Propaganda
It runs strong with here crowd.
Like every single liberal American woman, she wants the government to be her husband, but then balks when the tyrannical government she clearly demands, acts in an ever more tyrannical manner. I honestly cannot understand how utterly stupid these people are.
And exactly like the idiots in California, when the consequences of the government acts in the way they demanded, they rush to escape the mess they created.
The same sheeple cannot handle much truth, either. They want, need, and seek out, being lied to. The Demonrats oblige their every wish in exchange for their souls.
“She has now described her return to Washington DC as a ‘culture shock’...”
Yes, being surrounded by zombie cannibals in the District of Congo will do that.
On the first day of my daughter attending kindergarten, the principal of Saint Gabe’s warned the parents to monitor what kids watch on TV. No Married with Children!. We watched Married for an hour each night after dinner. My daughter and I laughed like Bundys.
