Charlie and Olive's is definitely different from mine. I was born in Korea and Korean was my first language. I was raised by immigrant parents and we spoke Korean at home and ate Korean food. I also grew up in Koreatown in Los Angeles and went to a Korean church, so my life was about as Korean as it could get living in the states.

Charlie and Olive eat a fair amount of Korean food, but don't speak the language (though they do go to Korean school). They're growing up in Brooklyn and have a very diverse circle of friends. We also don't have a car so the lifestyle we have here is very different from the car culture life I lived in LA. And of course I'm much more American than my parents.

Of course parenting is very different nowadays (my parents never read a single book to me growing up and we played unsupervised from 3+). But that's probably similar for many.

Are your kids having a different or similar upbringing to your own?
