[quote=Anonymous] I am white and believe that “tiger mom” label is often used as a way to shame Asian parents who raise successful kids. We have lots of other ways to make parents (mostly moms) feel bad through labels: Helicopter, Snowplow, Free Range etc. Obviously there are over the top parents who are unreasonable in their own way. As parents particularly mothers, we are never good enough. We are too demanding, not demanding enough, we are overly involved, we are disconnected. Every family dynamic is unique and I think most parents try their best- but moms are always blamed for failures. Having high expectations but balancing it with a loving environment is something I think most parents strive towards, some more successfully than others. [/quote]
