As she hardly menions about her daughter bicknamed ‘Little Glutinous Rice’ (Xiao Nuomi) in public, A-list actress Yang Mi (楊冪) gave the impression of being an aloof mother– which was confounded by father-in-law Lau Dan‘s (劉丹) hints that she was an irresponsible parent. However, the actress surprised netizens recently, opening up during an interview, and dropping hints of her interactions with Xiao Nuomi!
As Xiaonuomi stays long-term with father Hawick Lau (劉愷威) in Hong Kong, Yang Mi would take time off to visit her whenever she could, though she certainly spends less time with their daughter compared to Hawick, and would even miss out the chance to share important occasions together.
Lau Dan once said in an interview that Yang Mi did not even call during key festivities, and that Xiaonuomi also does not ask about her mother on Mother’s Day. With Lau Dan emphasizing on several occasions that their family treats Xiaonuomi well, and that she is living happily, netizens felt that he was expressing his dissatisfaction and taking a pointed jibe at Yang Mi.
No Consensus on “Perfect Mothers”
Responding to alleged criticism from Lau Dan, Yang Mi expressed her opinion that everyone has a different idea of what “perfect mothers” shoud entail, thus this is why she will certainly not be able be a ‘perfect mother’. Adding that this is not a matter that requires courage as motherhood is a state of being, the actress exemplified high EQ in her responses.
She continued by saying that she prioritizes being a good person first before being a mother, and hopes that she can learn to respect the child’s wishes, so she will be able to learn more of what she is lacking in from the child instead.
Revealing that Xiaonuomi has a passion for drawing and can draw “pretty well”, Yang Mi shared that her daughter and her thus share a common topic of conversation, and would discuss about drawing-related matters. To her, giving the child the necessary support he or she needs, instead of being too controlling, is “probably the best motherhood approach”.
