Why Chinese Mothers are Superior

[iironiic]

I am Chinese, and I have these similar experiences as well with my parents. I personally feel that the parenting is effective, but by all means, not necessary. So in terms of "good" parenting, I suppose that's a subjective manner. I believe that it is "good" in the long run just because it certainly helped me to realize that there is more than parties, sleepovers, etc. in life.

However, it can be "bad" in some cases as well. Fortunately, I don't have any of these cases, but I've heard a story about another Asian who is mathematically talented but despises mathematics because his parents ruined his joy of the subject. Essentially, it gives the children practically no control over their life, when the parents are constantly concerned about money and life.

This is an interesting topic.
