[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine come first.  Why have kids if they don’t come first?   [/quote]

+1.  I have and will continue to do so.

Your kids will move on. Hope you didn't sacrifice your marital relationship. [/quote]

If you have a good marriage, both will put the kids first.  My parents put each other before us.  Then, they divorce when I was an adult.  The strained relationship became more strained.  Now as a parent, it was clear I was never a priority and I cannot imagine doing that to mine. [b] Our lives revolve around ours[/b] and we are happy to do it.  We get pleasure in watching them enjoy their passions.  [/quote]

That clearly seems unhealthy.  It is also a Tiger Mom phrase which I assume you are.

The vast majority of Tiger Moms have nothing going on in their lives and now are trying to live vicariously through their kids.[/quote]

Really?  The tiger moms in my circle are doctors, lawyers, and professors (I think the most famous tiger mom is a Yale law school professor).  Women who have high standards for themselves generally do for their children as well.  [/quote]

They probably aren't Tiger Moms...just Asian.  You need to separate the two.  None of my 2nd generation Asian friends are Tiger parents...they were Tigered themselves and hated it.[/quote]

This is me. You got that right! Anti-tiger mom here![/quote]
