Ha, this is one of the funniest things I've ever read on Dave's!
OP - are you going to ban your wife from speaking Korean to your kid? |
Absolutely not! And she already knows this. It will be an ENGLISH ONLY household. |

Have fun when your teenage daughter blasts KPop and KDramas 24-7 as she rebels against daddy. Maybe she'll date a nice Korean flower boy. What are you going to do? Ban TV that's in Korean? Tell her to only date westerners?
Dude, word of advice- Don't be immigrant daddy. Think of immigrant daddy back home and how the kids turn out. Is that who you want to be? Respect the other half of her heritage or else there WILL be serious issues.

I think that just makes you rude, not an alpha.
An alpha has class and will show a lady to the door. |

actually its funny you said that. Back home in America one of my best friends was from Russia. And whenever I went over his house they all spoke Russian in the household. my friend and his brother had no problems whatsoever speaking Russian in the household. And he was a male. They are more likely to rebel then females I think.
basically if my daughter wants to ask me anything or talk to me it will have to be in English because I will not have conversations in Korean |

I don't hold doors open for others for the most part.
I sometimes mutter 아이고, especially when I'm around older Koreans.
I spit on the street and burp in public when I'm out by myself.
I will walk into people on the street and cut them off to get on the bus.
I run red lights when I drive (as long as there isn't a police camera!), though of course I wait and make sure there are no pedestrians.
These are just some of the habits I've acquired in Korea and they are indicative of what makes the country so great: you are socially free to act however you see fit so long as you don't injure anyone else |
Wow what loser traits you have acquired here...whew we |

I don't see anything loserish about the habits I've picked up. These are common habits in Korea, so they are perfectly acceptable. They allow me to be more comfortable physically and mentally. If I have to spit, I spit. I don't swallow it disgustingly as I would have to do in some other countries.
And I don't purport to be an Alpha male when in reality I'm a whiner and a coward who has to hide behind his wife's shadow because he is too lazy and effete to man up and take responsibility for himself and his family. Show a little respect for your wife's culture (and by extension, half of your daughter's heritage) and learn more Korean and make even the slightest effort to assimilate into the culture. Who knows? You might learn to tolerate Korea more or even come to like it. |

Good luck with your future relationship. I had a friend in Japan who took the same tack and he hasn't had a full conversation with his daughter. Ever.

EVER? what a horrible father he didn't make an attempt to bond with his daughter in English enough. it can be done if started at a young enough age and continuely enforced. I blame the mother and father for not working together to make it happen and not enforcing the rules. the child doesn't rule the household the parents do

I now say 아야 instead of ouch and I speak Konglish or pidgin English at home. I carry 5 credit cards, I drive a Korean car, and I deskwarm at work.
Except for that I haven't really changed, no 안마, or room salons, no dressing to impress and definately no sitting down to pee.
On a serious note here, I don't speak Korean and its made my relationship with my 3 year old daughter more distant.
The trip to Australia at new year helped, she picked up a lot of English in 3 weeks, but she's beginning to lose interest again.
Looks like I'm going to have to pony up for a trip to Australia for the 3 of us during the Summer (here) vacation.
Thank god 2013-2015 is leaving Korea year. |

I agree that he should have tried harder. And when i say they have never had a conversation, I mean they talk, but it's disjointed and they can't get into details with each other.
I'm sure his intentions were similar to yours, but stuff happens. People get lazy. Kids are kids. He hope you are successful. I can't imagine not being able to fully communicate with my own child. Sad. |

I'm still pretty much the same as I was back home. I think my tolerance for bs and ability to adapt to situations has increased. I like to think that it's a good thing but I'm basically becoming accustomed to being shafted.
Thanks Korea.  |

You know there is a happy medium of spitting into a tissue without making a loud hacking noise and putting it discreetly into a rubbish bin as soon as possible. Most Koreans I know don't like people spitting either. Especially the women. |

First off all, Alphas don't become daddy's.
They instead impregnate load of women from all around and spread their superior seed.
Anyways, Korean habits that I've picked up:
1) scissors in the kitchen
2) smoking a cigarette after a work out
3) having sexual relations with Korean girls
4) slight bow when I say thank you
5) kimchi in the refrigerator
6) say 아이고 at times
7) work incredibly long hours |

Op can you change the title of the thread to the sellout thread. Never seen so many castrated males in one place before. Turning into anything resembling Koreans is frightening to me. If you are a man and say 아이고, just leave your man card at the door.
I cant picture anything worse than seeing a foreigner say whiny expressions like 아이고 or 진짜 in these torturous accents you here so often. Some foreigners should just not speak Korean. They sound so dumb. |
