[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear this term often on these boards.

I’m Asian-American. DH and I studied hard and ivy educated. We want our kids to also succeed academically. School is always our first priority. I do make them do a little extra math and reading, even on weekends. Older kid is in AAP. Second kid should also get in. Kids play plenty. Kids play sports. They have play dates.

Would I be considered a tiger Mom?

I do expect perfect grades and that is pretty damn easy to do.[/quote]

I try not to be a tiger mom. But I haven’t read the book. It’s on my list of books to read because I hear it’s interesting and I’m sure there are good things I could learn from it.

I’ll say similar to what you said above but about me. I’m Caucasian American. I studied hard and ivy educated. DH probably didn’t study as hard as me ;) but he paid for himself to go to college (state flagship). We both have graduate degrees.  We want our kids to succeed academically. Love of learning is one of our top priorities. I don’t make them do extra math or reading, especially not on weekends. Older kid is in AAP.  My younger kids are in K and preschool respectively and we will see what happens with AAP. I would like them to have more time to play. Kids play sports. They have play dates. 
I don’t expect perfect grades.
