So while I'm not a parent, I am enthralled with the Chinese parenting style. Look up 'Tiger Mom'... it's quite interesting how parenting in the west is very concerned with self-esteem and Chinese parenting is quite the opposite, they are concerned more with excelling. There is less depression, and more successful children this way.
It's not just the parents here, the schools are doing the self-esteem crap too now.So while I'm not a parent, I am enthralled with the Chinese parenting style.

Because, Liam I'm sure you'll agree with me, American's baby the shit out of their children.
Westerners do this yes.. But the real problem is that westerners do not parent.
Well, that's pretty much what I'm saying.
One of the myriad of things I saw that told me I had to move from Boston suburbs was going into Costco and seeing fathers picking up a Wii/Xbox/PSn for EACH of the small children they had in tow.remember when kids mowed their neighbors lawns for spending cash instead of lawn services? my buddies ex wife just got their 7yo kid a cell phone. wtf? kids shouldn't have reoccuring monthly bills. BUT WHAT IF HE NEEDS ME? shit, you just gave that kid an electronic umbilical cord to replace the one the doc cut off.
