Most Asian women don’t only make good wives. They can also be great moms! It’s their attention to detail, natural sense of motherhood and strong desire for a family that makes them this way. It’s another reason why you should start dating one, don’t you think? If you didn’t know this before, you’d find out today with our list of 7 reasons why Asian women make great mothers:

1. Keen on Doing Household Chores

In the Asian culture, Asian children have seen their parents (specifically their mothers) do most of the chores around the house. Daughters and sons, especially in families who are from the middle and lower class, are taught how to wash the dishes, sweep the floor, take out the trash and so on. When they grow up, they have no problems with doing household chores. Well, Asian men are less inclined to do them, but Asian women tend to develop an urge to tidy up and do other household chores.

2. Asian Women Pay Close Attention to their Children

If you ask your Asian friends about their moms, they’ll most likely say that their moms are overprotective, sometimes hovering, they care too much, or they always want the best for their children (even if their children don’t want the best). That is very characteristic of an Asian mother, and this is because, again, it could be because of their mothers treating them the same. So, it’s more of a cultural thing. It’s because of this that most Asian children grow up to be over achievers.

3. Cool with Gender Roles

Most Western women would cringe at the thought of accepting the idea that women belong in the house or in the kitchen. It is the opposite with Asian women (women who grew up in Asia and not Asian women who were born in other countries, let’s be clear). Gender roles are still very prominent in Asia. Even with millennials (people from the ages 18-30)! Though there are some exceptions, in Asia, the woman is expected to take care of the house and the family, while the husband is expected to bring home the bacon.

4. Puts Family First

Here’s another great reason why Asian women make great moms: they put family first most of the time. After an Asian woman’s prime, her focus is shifted from career or “having fun while still single” to marriage and family. When she finally has one, she does her best to keep the family intact, healthy and happy. Before she makes any decision, she thinks whether her choice will benefit her family or not.

5. Knows How to Handle Money

That does not apply to all Asian women, just to get things straight. Most, however, are pretty good with budgeting and putting money where it should be, especially if it is for the household. That is most probably because most Asian women grew up in the middle or lower class. Certain sacrifices growing up have made them resilient and smart with spending money wisely.

6. More Likely to Sacrifice Career

Now, let’s talk about Asian women and careers. So we’ve already talked about the natural sense of Asian women to take care of the family or the children. That will, most likely, make them put their careers on hold or quit their job entirely.

7. Healthy Cooking (Most of the Time)

Asian food is composed of mostly vegetables and some meat and rice. These are stapled food items with Asian cooking. You can expect to have delicious home-cooked meals that are full of veggies and meat. There’s the occasional junk food here and there, but Asian moms will mostly make sure that what their family is eating is healthy.
