I hope I can remember that when my own girls get old enough to start breathing some fire!<br /><br />I read the excerpt from the book in the Wall Street Journal, and all I can say is that it didn't make me want to read the rest of the book.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-73523213952639575022011-01-17T17:23:43.766-08:002011-01-17T17:23:43.766-08:00I wondered if you'd get around to commenting a...I wondered if you'd get around to commenting and what you'd say.

I think this happened because my husband and I modeled that behavior and expected it from them. But who am I to judge other moms? They do what they think is best. I think comparing children to others is horrible!Little Hunting Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581836733935812927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-81487681353977675382011-01-16T11:29:14.511-08:002011-01-16T11:29:14.511-08:00I can't comment on Tiger Mom either; I've ...I can't comment on Tiger Mom either; I've read the articles but not the book and can't really comment. All parents and all children are different; and all lives are filled with decisions and regrets but hopefully we make the right decisions for us.<br /><br />I can't believe the mother who asks her child to be like your child. As a child who was subjected to that same kind of comparison for my entire childhood I can honestly say that it is awful on many many levels. The fact that I can only assume the mom does not really realize what she is doing does not make it any better.<br /><br />Bravo for fabric scores.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.com
