[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH was like this as he’s Indian and was raised by authoritarian parents.  When they said “jump” he “jumped”.

I showed him studies on Janet Lansbury’s site that concluded that interrupting play or conversation without warning had a negative effect on the child’s ability to concentrate later in school.  No idea if that true but it made DH stop doing it immediately and we had far fewer tantrums.

I just think what our husbands were/are doing is so disrespectful to our kids.  [/quote]

I just read that JL article today!  Came up on my News feed.  [/quote]

Since Indians and Asians outperform whites on nearly every academic metric, maybe you should listen to your spouse instead of lecturing on how your way is better. [/quote]DP and it seems that academics are the most important thing to you and emotional intelligence is not which is more important to some people [/quote]

The example that the racist poster above gave was specifically linked to academic performance. Since there is a ton of data to support that children of Asian and Indian immigrants, as well as children of Asian and Indian descent have the highest academic metrics, then one would think she’d be more respectful of those parenting styles.  It’s also incredibly racist to think that just because her husband‘s parents are Indian that they were authoritarian.  I also had South Asian parents, and they were extremely loving and authoritative (not authoritarian) while also having high expectations for us academically.  She should not have mentioned her husband’s origin at all. It’s completely irrelevant. Just as white people have different parenting styles, so do Indian people.[/quote]

Ugh… [/quote]

I know. It hurts to get called out on your racist garbage.  [/quote]

A new ugh…[/quote]
