[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Asian sister in law has broken our nephews. They are like little robots; perfectly obedient in every way and devastatingly boring. Not unique, not compelling. Just perfect students and piano players who are completely forgettable. Its really sad.[/quote] That was me growing up with two tiger parents. I always wanted to play the sopranos saxophone when I was ten years old, like Kenny G, or guitar, like Eric Clapton, but my tiger parents had other ideas. They forced me to play piano at the age of five until college with weekly lessons, and endless piano competitions. I begged them for saxophone and guitar lessons, and they always said no. They also did the same thing to my younger brother, and we rarely talk and visit our parents these days. FWIW, we didn't touch the piano after we turned eighteen, and we're now in our late 40s.[/quote]
