PakiAmerican you misunderstand me, I am not here to create conflict between the parent and child. I am here to cultivate a harmonious happy relationship.
Tainting all Asian parents with the same filthy brush? Not at all. There are some wonderful parents on Gupshup (my role models) Mamaof3, Niksik, Sara and many others. It’s the most difficult job in the world but they perform it impeccably and immaculately with so much competence, pride and honour.
A child's independence and confidence should be fostered. Too many children are attached to their mother’s apron strings and swing from their father’s overalls. I know you feel threatened, you fear your child may not want to shovel your poo in your old age. However you should always think about the interests of the child, if they are swimming in the warm waters of contentment, so will you be.
Furthermore I hope you don’t treat your own children with the same distain, show some compassion and understanding.
