Traditionally, vietnamese spouses will take care of their children and husband. But whether this is true, it will dependd a lot on character of yr vietnamese spouse. If yr spouse is the very `province' type of gal, there's a high chance she's not too interested in the kid's education. My wife is not too highly educated, in terms of responsibilities and kid's education, she's not very `up-to-the-mark' yet. For example, sleeping is very important to her and she can just forsake everything for sleeping. To me, this is irresponsible. Kid's education wise, I am also in charged. I ensure that i spend time on my kid's education daily, without completing homework, they can forget about play. To the normal province vietnamese, education is not too important. Thus, i salute those vietnamese parents who place priority on their children's education.

As for housechores and taking care of kids, i admit i have pampered my wife too much. In Vn, we had a few maids to take care of the kids and housework. Even after returning to Singapore, i still employ 2 maids to do housework and take care of the kids. There was a period of time when i suggested to have just 1 maid, my wife had to take care of the children. She was damm frustrated everyday and we argue almost daily. So no choice, switch back to 2 maids.
