What you are experiencing is VERY TYPICAL of the immigrant generation. Many immigrant parents, no matter what country of origin, tell their kids not to become "too American" (or in my case, too Canadian) because they don't want their kids to forget about their heritage and traditions. The immigrant generation likes the better opportunities offered to them here, but often don't like or don't understand the customs of their adopted country. Don't get upset. Things will change as families are hear longer.
