[quote=GUESTKWEILAN,258936]I agree Apault... As an Asian American woman who raised her children to appreciate both asian and western cultures, I too have been guilty of forcing my children to go to school, work hard to graduate and get a good job. It is only because we as parents do not want our children to suffer the anxiety of not having enough money to pay the bill or to feed their future families. Because we worked hard and sacrificed, today my children are successful, outgoing and most of all independant adults who can make educated decisions based on knowledge learned from both school and home. And yes... the still like me!LOL
Chynagyrl, when you have children of your own someday, you too will experience the utmost need to love and protect your children from the harsh realities of life. As parents, it is our duty to teach our children and steer them in the right direction. Of course it is also dependant on the execution. Guilt trips are counter productive and may even cause rebellion. Good communication is the key to a productive parent- child relationship. Please don't be so hard on your parents... they only wanted the best for you.[/quote]
