I'm an Indian PP and my parents are (for the most part) APPALLED by my parenting. 
How it's horrible that I let the kids CIO.  How I should still be hand-feeding my 2 year old.  How I shouldn't be so strict.  How my K DD should be learning her times tables.  How we're not religious enough.

They love my kids, but feel that my parenting style is way too "American".  And, trust me, there is plenty of criticism of 'western' parenting techniques in their social circle.[/quote]

I'm the PP.  I'm Korean.  And my parents were also appalled that I let my kids CIO and not picked them up at every wimper. But then, my mom was AMAZED how they could sleep on their own as toddlers.  She said it was genius. But she also thinks its mean to make them go to bed at 8pm for a 6yr old... I should let them stay up longer to play.   Same about hand-feeding.  Also, appalled I let my 1 yr olds try to feed themselves with a spoon.

Man, parenting styles are truly so different.  Yet, we all survived.
