[quote=Anonymous][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] This is pretty common from any race involved parents. The other common type of parents in DC are the ones that let the kids call all the shots, sometimes until age 30-40.[/quote] Who exactly should be calling the shots in the life of a 30 or 40 year old? I am 42 and I like to believe I am currently calling my own shots. [/quote]
