Dislike Amy Chua's Article "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior" (Reponse Post)

In Amy Chua’s Article titled Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior and she also written the book Tiger Mom. She explains in her article how a Chinese mother controls her child and how a Western mom or parents different from each other. There was a part in the article that explains about that children should repay their parents.

“Second, Chinese parents believe that their kids owe them everything. The reason for this is a little unclear, but it's probably a combination of Confucian filial piety and the fact that the parents have sacrificed and done so much for their children. (And it's true that Chinese mothers get in the trenches, putting in long grueling hours personally tutoring, training, interrogating and spying on their kids.) Anyway, the understanding is that Chinese children must spend their lives repaying their parents by obeying them and making them proud.”

I personally do not believe in her idea that children should repay their parents, even if they are rude, strict, and horrible parents. I think that it is the childrens' decision to whether repay their parents. If the parents were guiding their children , helpful, and supportive then they have the chance for the kids to help them. But if the parents are rude, strict, mean, and intimidating - like Amy Chua - . Then there are less chance that the kids would repay their parent. For example, if my parents were like Amy Chua to me or my lilt brother, within the future i would not repay my parents i would just leave them in a nursing home. Even they gave me a shelter and food to eat, I would not care because my parents would off made my childhood memories a living hell. In conclusion, it all depend on how the parents treat their children and how the children reacts to their parents action towards them.
