Relationships in Vietnamese family are more complicated than those of Western countries. The majority of families in Vietnam are extended families as many generations co-live to take care of each other. Family in Vietnam looks similar to a system of mini society with the most elderly having the strongest voice and taking charge of most activities in house. Each family has its own rules and values that members are supposed to conform with. The younger generation shows respect for the older generation and vice versa, the old generation tolerates the young. In the relationships between parents and children, and between husband and wife as well, traditional Vietnamese retain much of their long established customs and values. Traditional Vietnamese meal - dining on the floor with the whole extended family Although influenced by Chinese culture and Confucianism, in the eyes of children, Vietnamese mothers still have the same status as their counterparts.
