Obedience
The longer I’m here, the more I’m buying into Tiger Mom. There is truly a completely different mindset in Asian culture, but even Tiger Mom takes it too far. I have yet to see any scolding or reprimanding. Everything is jsut so well managed, that not a thing needs to be worried about. (Other than the customer at 85 yelling at the cashier, I wish I knew why. D:)
I have not heard a crying baby or child since I’ve been here, well Asian ones at least. I’ve seen a bunch of babies. I know because I always gawk at how cute Asian babies can be, but I have yet to see one crying. The only crying I’ve seen were of white tourists in international restaurants, and damn that baby could scream. Kids are super duper cute here, and they’re still playful. AND they’re all single children. You’d think they’d all be spoiled little shits. I’ve always hated children in America, but China, China gives me hope.
Dogs don’t even have leashes here. At first I just thought there were a bunch of stray dogs, but actually all the dogs have owners. It’s just they let them run around as they wish, but the dogs always stay close by their owners side. They never have to call their dogs, their dogs don’t just poop everywhere, and they’re the CUTEST DOGS I’VE EVER SEEN. You’d imagine my lament when I saw cute dogs and thought they were all strays with rabies. I swear people only have cute dogs here. Only because the ugly ones are eaten.
And most notably, every man holds his girlfriend’s hand in one hand and his girlfriend’s purse in the other. Good kids, good pets, good boyfriend. What more could a Chinese girl ask for?
A Louis purse, duh.

We’ve got it all wrong. We discipline our dogs and let our kids roam free.
lol so u interested lol anyway yea “tiger moms” I never had one. I was Just told to do my best and here I am in Pharmacy school pondering about medical school… >.> I wish I was forced to study because I never got used to studying in HS T_T I always slept in class LOL. Only once I got to college is when I started to study. I am going to be a Dragon Father…. ROAR… (born on the year of the dragon) lol and make my kids to study. I was reading some child psych books and we should never tell our children that they are good in a certain job but tell them they worked hard in that subject. and other things. They say if you say they are good at something they don’t like showing their weakness so they tend to focus on what they are already good at and hold onto it. If you tell the kids they worked hard they tend to try to work harder in all subjects. -shrugs- it was in the Times Magazine I think (online) it was referring to Tiger Moms and Amy Chuasorry for the rant, I hope ur still having fun there! I added u on flickr ftw
Thought the paragraph on dogs was pretty cute (grins)
I assume the cute dogs do not taste good..or perhaps they are being prepared….??? LOLsurfstalked from yosho
I should go live in China! My dog is almost a year old and she’s really loyal. When we’re hanging outside, we let her come out too. We only use a leash during the day time or going to the dog park. But she was never trained to be in a kennel. ANd here in America, we sure do spoil the shit out of our kids. Give in to every cry, they’ve outsmarted us.
