[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, kids of my circle's tiger moms seem to be doing well.[/quote]

I don't doubt it. And when they get married, many of them will choose to spend holidays with their spouse's families who are interested in them as human beings and not just what they can achieve.[/quote]

Yup!  You may think they are happy and don't mind how you raised them.  But in reality, many did not enjoy it and appreciate being appreciated for whom they are.  There is so much more to a person than their GPA and academic achievements.  We care more about what they do with their lives.  Are they good, kind, generous people?  Do other people want to spend time with them?

Plenty of "normal" parents have kids who won't speak to them or spend holidays with them. Nor does having a good GPA preclude one from doing something with their lives or being a good, kind, generous person that other people want to spend time with. You're thinking in black and white.[/quote]
