I am a 28 year old single woman.  I walk into the kitchen Christmas morning in sweats but no socks.

Mom: Ai-goo!  Why you not wear socks?
Me: (looks around, as it is 60 degrees out.) It’s not cold.  (points to father’s similarly bare duck feet) And Daddy doesn’t have socks on.
Mom: (indignant) It different with Daddy.  Daddy doesn’t have uterus.

    OMG, THAT'S TOTALLY WHAT MY MOM SAYS, TOO!!! She can't stand to see my toes exposed. Is this a Korean mom thing or are there other asian moms who do the same?

    lmao thats hilarious
    for those who don't get it, in chinese medicine (at least) it's rumoured that if you go barefeet on cold floors, your menstral cramps will be more painful so suggestions include wearing socks

    my mom never did this with me, but she does make a huge fuss over my 2 yr old daughter's belly. she says to always cover her belly (as she pulls her pants as high as they will go) to keep the eggs inside warm!

    Yeah in Korean school the other girls and I were informed we could not sit on the bare floor…

    SERIOUSLY
    what is it with korean people going CRAZY over cold weather and uteruses?

    My mom is always telling us to wear socks or slippers because the feet are connected to the uterus… so you gotta keep your feet warm!

    Um.. I don't know if anyone will ever read this, but apparently it's connected to a girl's menstral cycle and pregnancy. I'm not sure if it's just folk medicine or actual truth, but my mom's always telling me that if my feet are cold all the time, I”m going to have a hard time with pregnancy or something like that.

    Just wanted to clear up all the why's.. haha

    It sounds like a reflexology thing (you know, the idea that certain pressure points on your feet are connected to different parts of the body).

    This isn't just an Asian thing. I'm Romanian and my grandmother (and other people of her generation) keep warning me not to sit on cold surfaces or my uterus will freeze and I'll become infertile!

    I have Always wondered where my mom got that idea from. My mother is from Argentina but used to always tell me to not walk around barefoot when on my perion because it would make my cramps worse! It seems to help though
