Should an American woman complain yes or no? Her husband is an American with Italian parents. Her American son is raised Italian not American. This means that he appears and behaves Italian not American if he were to travel to other countries. He also speaks Italian. Her son is very romantic and is better behaved than most Americans and gives his mother more respected than most American man thanks to her father. This is because he is raised in the same close nit family structure of the 1950’s and has a very good relationship with his biological father.
