For example, if your wife is from China, then each big festival like Spring Festival and Mid-autumn day, your parents in law will be most likely bring up the questions about having a baby. I understand it's not common at all in the West, but trust me; it's very common in the east. Then when you go home and you want to ask your wife opinions about it. But in my opinion, your wife will simply just agree with her mom's idea.
Asian wife will usually go along with her parent's wish. As you may have heard about it, most Asian wives are more likely to just follow her parent's advice. It's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. I understand it's not very common in the western culture. But remember, you are married to an Asian family. You need to know how to get used to their culture.
In most Asian countries, they will think the children of mixed western and Asian heritage are usually great looking. It includes great skin tones, wider eyes, and beautiful hair. In fact, many models in Asia today are coming from those mixed families. They are getting very high salary.
Language Learning: Ask your wife opinion about it. If your Asian wife was not born and raised in the west, then you and your wife probably speak two languages at home. So which language should you teach your kid first? Should you teach them English or let your wife to teach them? In fact, maybe it's a good idea to get your child to be educated in a bi-lingual environment. Then you child will get much more advantage for the language ability then other kids in Asia
Should you your or your Asian wife teach the kid language? Actually this is the first major question after your kid was born. You and your Asian wife apparently speak different language. Although in most cases your wife will be more likely to let you teach the kid language. You should always respect your Asian wife's opinion about it. The better option will be your kid should be educated in the bi-lingual environment. It will give him or her some advantage in the long term.
Education is also very important. In most cases, your wife will like her kid to be educated in the western environment. No matter your decision is to stay in the East or go back to your own county, talk to you wife and make sure she understands you.
You don't want to show lots of disagreement in front of your kids. So make sure you are on the same page in advance for some issues.
