Re: Interesting article re essay on Chinese parenting
Who knew my mom was Chinese?!?!
"Do better, Heather." "So you got an A-. What would it ave taken for you to get an A?" " Your father and I are both smart, so you can't be stupid!"
Ahem, anyhoo... carrot and stick?
eta: Too much carrot from Dad. Too much stick from Mom. Reckon I'll end up somewhere in between Mom and Dad, Chinese and Western with M.
