Alice Braga: "I Really Want to be a Mom"

Tags: Baby talk

Alice_braga Brazilian actress Alice Braga is just beginning to make a name for herself in the busy world of Hollywood with her recent films I Am Legend and City of God.  However, spending the time to focus on her career has left little room for Alice to think about starting her own family, but for now says she is "too young for motherhood" anyway. 

While kids aren't in her immediate plans, it doesn't mean that the 25-year-old actress isn't looking forward to having kids in the future!  Alice -- who reveals "I really want to be a mom" -- credits her cultural background as the reason she wants kids.

I don't know if its a Latin thing, but I love kids!

How could that be a Latin thing?! I'm really confused how she came to that conclusion! Great to hear that people love and want kids, but I don't think it's a cultural thing lol.

A Latin Thing? What does swhe mean by that? It's no latin thing. I love kids too even if I'm not latin and many MANY other people who aren't latin love kids too. That's no culture thing, that a personnality thing.

It's kind of hard to explain, but....She's not saying that people who aren't Latin don't like/want kids. But if you read up on latin culture, or the differences between collectivist cultures, such as Latin America, Asia, versus individualist cultures, like American culture, you would get what she was saying. From her environment, being around or part of large families, "it takes a village" child-rearing practices, the more traditional parental roles, the expectations of adult children assisting their own parents later in life, etc., she's just saying that, "of course" she would have kids. Really, there's a gazillion differences in attitudes towards work, family, children in various countries. My bf is Indian, so I could go on and on. But...so she's just attributing her obvious future as a mother to her upbringing and culture. Maybe someone else can explain it better....but she's not meaning it as any sort of insult to other people, nationalities or countries.
