Both my parents are Asian doctors (as are my sister, brother-in-law, and a good selection of aunts, uncles and cousins), so I have more than passing familiarity with the whole “Tiger Mom” mindset.

Those memes crack me up! There's a lot of sound and fury over the whole "Tiger Mom", and although I think of it more as a autobiographical work but some sensitive people take serious issue with it as if it were criticizing their own parenting styles or families.
