Anna asked them "What do you guys do when your own wife is pregnant?" Dimitri Bruyas (龔向華) said that he would accompany his wife to the department of obstetrics & gynecology to see a doctor and attend a painless birth course.

Anna's husband thinks that spending quality time with the wife is very important. Both fathers said that they were particularly moved when they were holding the baby for the first time.

In terms of education, Dimitri Bruyas, who has two daughters studying in junior high schools, said that both himself and his wife allocate different parental responsibilities based on their own expertise. His wife is in charge of the children’s Chinese language homework, and he is responsible for English language homework, French language homework, and math assignments.

Dimitri Bruyas also specifically mentioned that mealtime is of great importance for the whole family to show their emotions, and watching TV is absolutely not allowed while eating.

Although Anna's daughter is still young, but she has started asking others’ opinions on how to arrange resources or tuitions for the children after seeing many children in Taiwan are having after-school lessons.

Dimitri Bruyas mentions, to enable her daughter to adapt well to the education of Taiwan and Europe, his daughter went to public elementary school in Taiwan and attended after-school classes in order to learn the Chinese language well.
