This mother’s day weekend, Yale Law Professor, Amy Chua, co-author of the well-known book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom, is releasing her new book, Tiger Mother’s Day, or, Everyday My Kid’s Not a Giant Waste of Space Day.
The book is already drawing a huge response online and is quickly becoming the number one sought after Mother’s Day gift from kids everywhere, especially guilt-ridden underachievers.
Mrs. Chua attempts to highlight the aspects of an above average, extremely successful Mother’s Day (or Tiger Mom’s Day) and goes on to contend that this kind of day should be a regular occurrence and not an annual “make-up-for-my-failed-existence” kind of thing.
Here are just a couple of nuggets that she has used to help train her own children in understanding the difference:
Mother’s Day: knitted coffee mug warmer
Tiger Mother’s Day: knitted coffee mug warmer from home-raised, hand-picked cotton
Mother’s Day: roses
Tiger Mother’s Day: genetically altered flowers that withstand radiation
“The idea for this book,” Mrs. Chua revealed, “started out many years ago when my youngest daughter, Lulu (then age five), brought me a watercolor portrait of myself, and I responded like any mother with standards should: “Is this art? If you call cheap underdeveloped Monet knockoffs art, then yes, I guess it’s Mother’s Day.”
“And now, it seems things are repeating themselves (as I’ve told my girls countless times in our impromptu midnight history lessons). Lulu came in to tell me that she had been accepted into Yale of all places, and I said, ‘Is that supposed to make me happy? Didn’t we learn this lesson twelve years ago?”
Mrs. Chua admits that this road isn’t easy and that many parents will encounter failure along the way. But she encourages them not to give up on their kids the same way they gave up on themselves and their own dreams.
“For all those wannabe tiger moms out there: Your kids don’t have to turn out like you. Buy my book and give yourself the Mother’s Day you deserve!”
Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to
be at the net the simplest factor to consider of.
I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while other people
think about worries that they just do not know about.
You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and
outlined out the entire thing without having side effect , folks can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thank you

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get
setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would
cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
