Indeed, it can be frustrating at times not being able to fully identify as "one side".

I'm also trying to combine cultures now in our family, my husband is German, and the same, I imagine too that it will not be easy for my kids as well. But I think it's a gift, to be exposed to various cultures and to be from more than one, it makes one more open and aware. And life is more interesting that way ;)

It certainly is more interesting! My kids are at ages now where they’re starting to understand more about all the cultures we belong to and the different things we can embrace and share. They really love Vietnamese food, which is so wonderful and I can’t wait to take them on a trip there.

That sounds really nice, I hope my kids will too when they are older! A trip there will definitely be a fun one for everyone! And who wouldn't like Vietnamese food? ;)
