    Mother Inferior? The introduction of Mother Inferior by Hanna Rosin contains an excellent anecdote that puts Rosin in a position of defence for her parenting style against Amy Chua’s Chinese-style parenting. The anecdote, which her 2-year-old son calls her a “kitty kat” when she was acting out “tiger,” reveals her position amongst other parents in the standards set by Amy Chua. However, this does not break her as a parent, nor does it cause her to rethink what she does for her kids. Instead, Rosin defends herself by to criticizing “Ms. Chua’s parenting prescription,” and exemplifying her children’s upbringing through “’spontaneity, freedom, discovery, and experience.’”…

    The power of being a parent is infinite; raising your kids the way you think fit for your children to have the success they need in life to be happy. No one parent is like another, each parent does things in their own way. Telling another culture they are doing the wrong thing by raising their children the way they seem fit is wrong; they have that power. Mothers in general have the biggest influence on a kids’ life, because of the connection they share from birth and on. In the essay “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”, Chua is claiming Chinese mothers know best when it comes to raising children to become successful in the work force. Sacrificing being happy as children for being happy as adults. In another essay “Mother Inferior?” Rosin counters Chua statement.…

    I always wondered what type of parent I would be… Would I be like my mother? Or would I make it up as I went along? I did not realize how much went into picking a style. Fast forward to less than a week after my daughter was born, I felt weak, unprepared and helpless; nothing like the mother I thought I would be. Reality had sunk in and here I was exhausted and responsible for making sure my daughter grew up to be a well adjusted member of society. I know my husband would say we are a “team” but let’s be real here, I lead and he follows. With what felt like the weight of the world on my shoulders I began my research. Around the same time, a new parenting debate sparked my interest, a Yale professor named Amy Chua published a book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, accompanied by an article in The Wall Street Journal (Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior) discussing the differences between Eastern and Western parenting styles. I did not know that another parenting book brought into the fold would cause such a stir. In the next few paragraphs I am going to go over the major differences between the two styles.…
