Is it wrong to live by a culture when your raised in another?

Is it wrong to use a different culture then how I was raised?

I am very fond of the different lifestyles of multiple cultures. My most loved is the japanese and french, with Japan winning out. Now I was raised in and with american culture and standards, I am an american mutt in words, but for the longest time taking baths and showers followed the japanese style, including bathing with my mother even after I was old enough to clean myself. This happend just naturaly at first, but then as my fondness of the japanese culture grew quickly I found that if it wasn't an issue over there why should it be with me. Even my mother doesn't mind because any questions I had about my body compairing it to hers were answered truthfully. We still do take showerd now and then, but mostly alone because our bathroom is to small right now. A lot of people would think that's strange or incestrous, but this is our belief, but I'm going to keep doing it even when I have children.

I would be happy to continue to bathe with my own daughter for as long as she wants, but not if I have a son, he can bathe with his father, which I think would help with the issues boys tend to have, plus great way for them to bond through talking. I feel that it's good to let your children know that their parent of the same sex is safe to see each other in the nude, or else they'll be body conscious. I feel it will also help with the future when needing to change in a locker room at school or in a gym. I've seen women I don't even know butt nude in gym locker rooms, but I feel more shocked then embarresed. With todays standards preteen girls become upset even when there mothers see them nude, and I found that sad, because feeling they have to cover up to the woman that birthed them is just wrong in my mind. I'm spiritual and give respect to all religions, I also feel that living by my own personal culture is the same as being able to have the choice to pick your own religion.

    These days, I think there's less fuss about family nudity than in previous years. Your standards, taken from the Japanese culture, seem reasonably acceptable. Their concept is, "Nudity may be seen, but not noticed."

    However, I think it would be circumspect to carry out your bathing customs entirely privately, and not get into discussions about them with friends, more distant family members, or mere acquaintances.

    You did not make a mistake marrying a manly guy. My fiance is a manly guy and that i do not recognize all of us more desirable loving, selfless, affected individual and humble, then him. i respect him. he's magnificent, yet is extremely manly too. i imagine the position you made the mistakes develop into marrying someone earlier you've suggested each and every thing. money, faith, sex, how your children will be raised, the mans position, the ladies's position, expectations interior the residing house, the thanks to deal and take care of conflict at the same time as it arises, your history and how you've been raised is extremely significant, what your love language is (it really is a chain of books by technique of a bloke named Garry Chapman) and purely such an excellent number of more desirable issues. Get professional help. Marriage counseling is a wonderful aspect. on occasion you purely truly favor that 2d opinion, an independent opinion. lack of communique is the large form one rationalization why marriages finally end up in divorce. discuss such as your husband. tell him you're literally not chuffed and also you want to do some thing about it.

    Sometimes it's more beneficial to migrate to another culture. Lots of people migrate to a new culture. On CNN it was documented a few times where they became American Muslims.

    But be careful on treading waters and choose the right culture to live in. Japan should be okay to join and be of their culture. As long as you observe their laws and policies if you live there.

    China is very strict taking them into example. Lots of bad rap occurred with people talking trash about the Chinese government and when the lead toys came out that went full force indeed.
