[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you and your husband think of Amy Chua and her husband? Serious question.[/quote]

I haven't read any of her books.  She's a celebrity, no?  She must lead a different life from mine certainly!  She's an Asian-Am highly educated woman who is married to a highly educated Jewish man.  So, I guess we share some similarities on paper.  But that's all I can think of.

Every interracial marriage is different, I would assume.  That's like saying every Southern white couple who are Methodists are the same.  I think they would beg to differ.  I don't know if they would be able to comment on each other either.[/quote]

o.k., but are with her on being a "tiger mom?"[/quote]

I haven't read her book, so I am guessing at what your question means.  I read reviews of it, though.  She seems to be a hardass as a parent, and her kids are very high-achieving.  Pressure-cooker parenting is not limited to just some Asians, that's ridiculous.  Tiger Woods, Andre Agassi and Michael Jackson's fathers were anything but coddling, and their kids reached the pinnacles of their chosen profession too.  I would think their dads are "tiger dads" based on the loose definition.  And yeah, it's not great.  All three men have shown to be unhappy, or have spoken about their ambivalence about how they were raised (Agassi certainly did, in interviews).
