Seriously, though, I think this is the kind of novel I'd enjoy reading - to laugh out loud and snicker along the all-too familiar Asian Parent Syndrome. Hopefully, I can keep in mind not to carry this syndrome over to my daughter (she's 2-1/2). The older I get, the more I realize that career satisfaction is important, but it isn't necessarily proportionate to financial status . Money is not the most important measure of success or happiness. Health, sanity, and love are.Jen Laceda | Milk Guideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619343060622081800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-19343719112667430602009-07-11T13:12:56.654-07:002009-07-11T13:12:56.654-07:00I can definitely relate.

I'm rather perplexed on how my parents expect that all to work out.<br /><br />As for frenemies- my school is full of them. :(Little Bow Prephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836327432936323385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-42881529397153659222009-07-11T00:47:33.975-07:002009-07-11T00:47:33.975-07:00Thanks darling...always looking for smart, sassy, ...Thanks darling...always looking for smart, sassy, and funny reading in summer!

No matter how great she did when she was a kid, her dad would start comparing her to other kids in school, or her own sisters, and be like" oh why can't you be as good as them" ...It's so schocking! I don't understand how a parent would say that to his own child , not realizing how much damage its going to do...it's just sad...but I guess...it's also a lesson for all of us, to not do the same to our future children, and instead acknowledge their little success stories, no matter how small and tell them how we are so proud of them.LaMimihttp://style.la-mimi.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-86577654625147223832009-07-10T13:51:39.254-07:002009-07-10T13:51:39.254-07:00Oh Cath and I can also relate to this - even thoug...Oh Cath and I can also relate to this - even though we are only half asian!

I know if I went to school in Korea my life would have been a lot more stressful - something my mom liked to remind me when I felt myself becoming unmotivated. Even so, there is an incredible amount of pressure for young kids, even as we grow older it moves to different things like marriage, babies, career, etc. I think it just comes down to figuring out where your priorities are in life and what will make you happy.DShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11364433623605618213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-55024171872489360512009-07-10T09:43:00.100-07:002009-07-10T09:43:00.100-07:00awww.. great post.. you know what, my parents are ...awww.. great post.. you know what, my parents are acting the same everytime i got my report card.. it's always been great scores, but never do they feel more than okay.. :(<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098624449465110951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-52640953553931587192009-07-10T08:16:35.443-07:002009-07-10T08:16:35.443-07:00interesting - will add it to my summer reads =)interesting - will add it to my summer reads =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052470556150202136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-18048226978015633872009-07-10T08:16:34.801-07:002009-07-10T08:16:34.801-07:00awww this sounds so relatable! thanks for the info...awww this sounds so relatable! thanks for the info!kokostilettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406130365661558648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-56037278543816719102009-07-10T07:56:01.982-07:002009-07-10T07:56:01.982-07:00Yow, this sounds like a bit of a stressful read to...Yow, this sounds like a bit of a stressful read to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-65855048820009028312009-07-10T07:52:58.181-07:002009-07-10T07:52:58.181-07:00I may be a bit crazy when it comes to school, but ...I may be a bit crazy when it comes to school, but even after nearly five years of almost straight As, my parents are still like, Yay, Good Job.Rosie Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369401676259724111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806776700133051213.post-26921173367331468142009-07-10T05:38:16.778-07:002009-07-10T05:38:16.778-07:00Thanks for posting this!

It was also shocking how many kids there committed suicide as a result of bad grades, because they couldn't bear facing their parents. It's actually a much more serious issue than many people think. Even those that end up in succesful careers still resent their parents for not allowing them to be just kids or teenagers and have an actual life. I'll definitely check out this book!<br /><br />P.S. I'd love to exchange links.
