Babies are one thing that are going to keep comming up.If the conversation was started by the women.Yes mixed blood babies are great.You just have to get used to the kid being the center of attention if you take the kid to China.

Me and my son draw a crowed whenever we go out togehter in China.It gets to be so bad you can't get to where your going without stopping and talking to everyone.Along the way

Western/Asian hybrid babies are adorable, and they always seem to grow up into strikingly beautiful adults.

I'm not sure I've seen many Western/Han Chinese hybrids, but they seem to usually look quite western, with quite pale skin and the most beautiful asian eyes. Western/Thai or Western/Filipino kids are adorable, and they grow up into lovely adults, look at the UK's Mylene Klass (half filipino, and totally stunning).

I would love to have kids with my beloved, and if we are blessed with a girl, I will dress her head to toe in Hello Kitty cuteness :blush:.

Rob, all she is going to have to do is wait until the two of you are done " playing " for the night, wait until you are half asleep and say baby, please lets have mix blood baby and you'll do anything to make her happy, at first you'll come fully awake and look at her to say no but the word yes will come out of your mouth once you see her eyes Hahahaha
and I'm going to be the one in the back of your mind saying " Hahahaha I told you so, na na nana na na":icon_cheesygrin::icon_twisted:

Not much really going on right now.  EXCEPT, my daughter told me today the she is having TWINS.  Is that not incredible?  Her mother came from a family with twins, mine did to, way back and so did Bobby's family, but never thought about it.  She is scared and happy.  AND I think it finally put my wife's wanting a baby to rest. She realizes now that two babies to help take care of would be enough.  She of course is overjoyed for Chevaun but a little sad for herself.  At least i am not to blame, LOL.  She is still an incredible woman.  
Today we went to the Great Wall and Mings tomb.  Mings tomb in actually boring and the wall was so smoggy and foggy that you could not see more than 20 feet away.  Wasted day. Qingqing came back last night from school, I was waiting to see if her attitude was going to change again, but it didnt, she told me she missed me and gave me her cheek to kiss.  But, she is still spoiled rotten.  But what a beautiful girl.  she brought home new pictures of her. Just incredible.

Thanks for being interested, but like I said not much happening right now.  And the turtles are still alive.  
Well take care and update later.

We went ot to dinner tonight at a nice place. Of course Qingqing had to take over.  She had to order, she had to pass the food out, she had to do everything.  now normally i do not mind this.  Besides it is usually on one or two meals.  but tonight she really got to me.  she is a 16 year old in a grown up womans body with an angelic face and a personality of a spoiled 5 year old.  I cannot eat spicy food.  Because of my stomach injuries if I do it kills me later.  I have told her this.  well, she orders the spiciest food on the menu, except for one thing.  Ok, no problem.  When she passes the food out she hides some really hot stuff under the stuff i eat so when i get it, I also get a big bite of it.  she laughs her head off.  OK. she starts to pick out some of the things she does not like and puts them on another plate.  No problem.  then she fills the plate up and then starts to flick the pices off, some of them get on her mothers dress, Mama does not say anything just picks them off.  Then she starts towards me. Thats when i put a halt to it.  Of course she pouts.  Now she has made a mess of the table.  I start to straighten it out but when I do she just makes more of a mess.  So I figure it will just make more work forthe employees there so I quit.  then she has to hand feed everyone.  I tell her i am full but of course that does not go, because she starts to force it in my mouth, until I either eat it or I go off, so I eat it.  She just laughs and thinks it is funny.  She gets a bite of food that is hot, she puts it in her teeth and hollers mor mama, so mama has to blow on it until it cools down.  Now I blame my wife for this behavior but what am I going to say? When she gets up to go to the bathroom, my wife says sometimes Qingqing acts like a child, i just look at her and say "Whose fault is that?"  She says hers, I say then why not do something about it?  She says well i have felt guilty about her not having a father.  I say now she does, you do not have to feel guilty anymore.  I will help you if you want me to.  She says well wait. i say ok, but if we get to the states and she continues this way, i will step in and take care of it.  I raised my daughter to never do anything like this crap and she doesnt.  now she is upset with me.  But at this point, I do not care.  I just cannot put up with this behavior.  I tell me wife, I want to love Qingqing but I cannot when she acts this way.  So you need to start correcting this behavior.  She is doing nothing but hurting herself in the long run.  No one will want to be around her.  Anyway she and i walked home quietly while the brat kept up her shit.  Goosestepping, making fun of people, etc.  I am telling you I am keeping my cool with the kid. So we shall see.

Good luck Jim, they can be trying sometimes, but so far you seem to be doing the right thing, keep it together and this will work out.

JimB,

You can't sort this out on your own, you need Mama's help with Qinqing. She really needs to have a long talk with her about her childish behaviour, and to tell her that she is now becoming embarrassed  when in public with her. The most important things to a teenager is her appearance, and popularity. I guess it's the attitude, and therefore her popularity that she needs to work on. These teenagers like to think, that there young adults ,(more adult than young)  so if both of you, and maybe other family members, can convince her she is acting childish compared to her age, ....things just may get better quicker!! I still think it's a phase she's going through, along with a bit of testing the waters as far as your conserned Jim. Mum has to be a big part of the so called cure, You need to be there to back her up, or when you can see her beginning to cave in to her.

You'll get there in the end Jim, just takes a bit of time, a bit of understanding, and showing lots of care throughout!! Show and give praise whenever it's deserved, and disapproval without going OTT, when it really needs it ... Remember, your kids had a lot of guidance throughout their childhood, Qingqing hasn't. Mums been trying to compensate her for not having a dad there for her, she's just over compensated, ....time i guess to bring her back into the real world!!

David....

I think you're on the right track. My wife and I view this as being each others guide. By supporting her, you're empowering her to take control and deal with it. It sounds like you know how far you can push it without making her too angry so I commend you and wish you luck to help guide her and help her guide her daughter to better behavior.
Alright earthlings, what form do you want me to take?....How about a taco, ....that craps icecream?  My trip to china

Jim

You and many of us here have raised daughters, through the terrible teenage years and onto becoming real Women in the real World.

It is said that children grow up...despite Parents :icon_cheesygrin:

We all faced the tantrums, the posturing and the attention seeking...and got through it somehow.

I think you have a somewhat different problem with Qingqing. Her behaviour seems to get close to anarchy !!!....it is a direct challenge to you as her Mum's new partner...and her Father-to-be.

You cant fix it on your own.

It may be difficult to get your Wife to agree to a programme of total overhaul of Qingqing's behaviour...too big a job in one bite.

But...."united we stand, divided we fall"

I truly believe that you and your wife must have a solid agreement to do something TOGETHER over one aspect of her behaviour that you BOTH agree to committ to....just one thing only at this stage....could be "table manners"

Only when you and your wife present a united front to this child will she begin to get the message that she must begin to change...otherwise she will play both ends against the middle for ever, she cant lose !!!

It is totally unaceptable for her to 1) poison you, 2) sneak hot food in your plate so you will get crook stomach. That is beyond tantrums...it is anarchy !!!

But she wont recognise the need for change until Mama gets on your side and reinforces what you both expect from her. But "little steps", one thing at a time

Good luck

DavidE

Jim,

I feel your pain.  I won't give you any advice because I would do what you want to do but haven't.  I raised two girls and still have a boy at home though I am ready to send him out on his own.  He says he want to join the Air Force and friend I would take him to basic training tonight if I thought I could. He needs a drill sergeant in the worst way. He will believe anyone but me right now.  I could tell you stories but I don't want to bore you or get mad this close to bedtime.

That said, I will agree with David E that you and your wife must be in unity aourt Qinqing.  The other thing is when Qinqing doing those things to you she is trying to get you to behave what she considers badly in front of her mother. So you are doing good by not over reacting and playing it down.

There is a reason God made children as babies. It is so they can survive their teens without their life being snuffed out by a parent. If they all started as teens very few would make it to adulthood and a lot of parents would be in prison.

Hang in there bro you've got what we are all hoping for.

Shaun

JimB, the best known scenario would be if Mama agreed to let you ( Baba ) take Qingqing out behind the wood shed with a willow switch but you and I know that, that aint going to happen so do like David5o, Ed W., and David E. also Shaun is right, if they were born teenagers I would have killed my two and replaced them with 2 more, better behaved,  Hahahaha.
