[quote=Anonymous]I'm Pakistani and yes my mom definitely coddled me and did a lot for me. I'm pretty sure her children were her reason for existence. In college I realized how liucky I was. My friends (all white) would be envious of how much my mom did for me I've  would sent DELISCIOUS home cooked frozen meals for me and the roomies, and visit and really have a bond with me that they did not share with their parents. I think our parents try extra hard to preserve some of their culture and culturally their children are really truly the reason for their existence. I don't recall ever being burdened by having a over zealous extra curricular schedule. But I was bright naturally and played sports on my own accord. I always fit in at school. Today as a 34 yr old mom of 2, I find most of those friends barely talk to their parents. Which is sad. I find them cold and selfish and have very little positive to say about their parents. On the other hand my Pakistani friends and myself are very close to our parents. I think it's bc of how much they have done for us, that we can't just walk away like "Americans" can.

By the way, I have a professional education can do my own laundry, am an excellent cook, and consider myself very well rounded.  I'm married with kids and doing just fine. I don't think your dds friend will damage your dd. In fact there are things your dd can learn from her, and I'm sure there are things her friend will learn from your dd. [/quote]
