I see that Italy and Canada are up there, too, so I am from two crying cultures!
It is interesting, though, that my mother and my relatives tell stories of my older sister crying constantly when she was a baby. It was so bad, my mother said, that one day when she suddenly stopped screaming, my mother thought my sister had died!
At the opposite end, everyone swears that I never, ever cried as a baby. I recently asked my mother if that was true, and she said she honestly couldn't remember me ever crying. (For the record, though, I've certainly made up for it as an adult - I cry very easily now!)

Apparently I went through a phase of being nocturnal during which I would be awake and crying most of the night and then sound asleep for most of the day. My Mother said she and my Dad were like zombies until the phase passed. 😴
I didn't stay that way. These days I'm very much a morning person and want to be in my bed by midnight. I cry so easily it's embarrassing though. Yesterday I was at a funeral of someone I don't even know that well and I ended up crying during the Eulogy. Awkward! In Ireland the tradition is you not only attend the funerals of friends and close relatives but also everything from parents of work colleagues to close relatives of friends. We go to a LOT of funerals which means I do a lot of crying. 😭
