Ukrainian Shares Biggest Culture Shock Living in Canada

Mariana from Western Ukraine shares the biggest culture shock she experienced since coming to Canada. While Canadian women typically have children later in life, Ukrainian women are encouraged to have kids earlier on in life. What does she think about this? Does she prefer the Ukrainian or the Canadian approach?

  • She's totally right, you gain wisdom, experience, maturity. You make a much better parent in your 30s. In your teens on 20s it's all about hookups, parties and eventually trying to develop a career

    • Depends on the culture. In some countries people take it serious mid 20s. But in her case at 36 she is done with raising the kid and has money and free time. When you are 20 you have time and kids need time and attention the most. Of course money too, but attention and time are the most important.
      My parents had me at 40 and I always envied kids that had young parents.The younger parents were more playful running jumping being active more modern also generational gap is smaller. What my parents learner in school was ancient...the geografie map was definately not the same 😂.

    • Hookups? Seriously? Having children is a conscious decision that involves being emotionally mature. In the past people would get married, worked, had children by 23. in millennial culture you get to pretend to be adults with an undeveloped mind.

    • Not necessarily promiscuity that’s a culture thing not an age thing. But yes you will have more challenges to your family life, single or not.

    • @@danac2899 she was not referring to herself as having a 17 yo child. she had a child a 18. she is probably 27-29 looking at her face shape. at 35 she will look much older as most ukranian and russian women do. Her face contour will be basically gone with a significate double chin.

    • @@cloudcampos4555 i understand much better how Russians and Ukrainians built sentences so she doesn’t have 17 year old son.

  • Having children later in life result in having less children and depopulation of a country. We need 2.1 kids /2 parents just to maintain population.

  • Equal rights right? Don’t see any Ukrainian men being interviewed 🙄 yay women’s rights…

    • @@RaptureRecon316 you chose to only listen to this crap. As a woman I loath women who complain about men and generalise them with the " men are trash" rubbish. Men who do the same tegarding women are no different imo.Especially when deep down most of them would do anything to actually get to be with someone of the opposite sexe. We're not enemies, we may have our differences but this silly Internet war has to stop for god's sake

    • And in poorer countries where they do they can? Its just about how much you want it, you dont need your own house, be at the top of your career to have a kid. Im not saying you have to, but certainly you could. You spend on what you prioratize, its not true you couldnt afford, just then life would be less consumer friendly. Previously spent money on trips and nights out would be spent on the kid. As I said depends whats important for you.

    • @@belakitajka5741”and in poorer countries where they do they can”

      As you said, these places are poor. The people over there are mostly poor and they can’t afford a decent living for themselves and the kids. Don’t normalize poverty!

    • @@_o..o_1871    Poverty is subjective. Once you have basic nesessicites running clean water, heating during dangerously cold temperarures, electricity, enough food and your physical safety is stabil (no wars ex.) everything else is not a need but a want, and your perspective is what makes it enough or not enough A person who would be considered poor in Norway or Singapore would be consideres middle class in Mexico or Turkey and upper class in Bangladesh or Sudan.
      Ofc we want the best for ourselves and our families, but once you have the bottom of the Maslow pyramid its only perspective. If you simpy define by the bottom whatever % of each country how poverty changes a lot.
      Just because somebody says their poor is not ebough for me, there can be metrics what makes you poor not just "how you feel". A starving kid in a shaq is not the same as somone who might not have saved money but live in a small flat with all the nessesities.
      When you say I normalize poverty you pretty much ask me i should just accept if someone says their poor just because they say so not because their life is lacking basic needs. This the same logic when people who get a verbal insult put themselves into same category as someone who has been assaulted repetedly because they "also feel traumatized".
