Now that I'm pregnant, my husband and my parents-in-law are telling me that the following may affect badly to my baby:

cold drinks
ice cream
softdrinks

I know that they are bad buy I seldon eat or drink those. Actually there are more that I know are bad for pregnant woman that I think they are also aware of:

coffee
tea

And my questions...

Why in the world they don't care their other daughter-in-law to avoid inhaling cigarette smoke? And I think they won't tell me to avoid it either.
How come they don't tell their grandchildren to go somewhere where ther are no cigarette smoke?
How come they don't tell their visitors to stop smoking because there are children, baby or pregnant woman around?
How come they themselves do smoke cigatette even if their baby or pregnant wife is around?

Is athis the real Chinese from China? Are the Chinese from the well-known cities of China like Shanghai and Beijing are aware of the harm cigarette smoke can cause to pregnant woman?

Now, how can people tell me to stop discriminating Chinese from China, when those Chinese are the one who taught me how to discriminate them?

I am a Chinese but is born in the Philippines. My parents are like me. We don't want to discriminate them but we can't help it. When you get to know one, you'll know and understand what I mean.

The Chinese from China I have encountered with are those from the provinces from China who came here to the Philippines to earn a living. To make it easy for everyone to understand, Filipinos from the provinces go to Manila or to other countries to earn money for their family... to provide money, food, shelter and education to their children or siblings.

Those Chinese who came here are the uneducated or have not taken college education. Some of them are even up to only grade school. I just hate it when they discriminate Filipinos and the Chinese here in the Philippines when they are the one who don't have money and education.
