Ms. Chua’s husband appears only peripherally in “Tiger Mother” — though there is one battle in which she lashes out at him after he worries that she is pushing their daughters to the point that there is “no breathing room” in their home.

this guys such a whipped faygelah, has no say in how his household is run - smh

why hasn't there been an azn version of portnoys complaint written yet

reading the NYT interview, gotta say the PR campaign for this has been magnificent

hubby's better looking than i imagined

wannabe actor!

When describing his Juilliard years, one can hear a smile in his voice. They were such great years, and it was such fun to be at Juilliard and studying drama, he said, adding that he also made wonderful friends, some of whom—like Marcia Cross and Eriq La Salle—have gone on to successful acting careers.

After his two years at Juilliard, Rubenfeld switched gears yet again, and entered Harvard Law School.

anyone read his book???

"In September 2006, Rubenfeld's first novel, The Interpretation of Murder, was published by Henry Holt & Co. It was a number one bestseller in the United Kingdom"

if anyone reads that sfgate article through, they'll see that it's not that WSJ 'edited' the stuff, it's more that they only focused on one part of it. I think the point of the book is that she learns not to be this way, and they didn't bother to put any of that in. whether or not she knew they would do that, I don't know.

i got nothing for this thread. good thread though. both my kids are taking piano lessons now though! a half hour a week would probably make a chinese mom laugh though. they are learning some groovy new method. the songs are bizarre. maria is taking them too.

oh and speaking of chinese stereotypes and maria i was really sad the other day that i couldn't find dana carvey's chicken make lousy house pet guy on youtube. maria had never seen it.

Chicken make good pet!

I've noticed that abt asian students in general! Trams/trains here - esp after 5pm - every single asian kid is asleep. Usually leaning against each other.

I sleep in my office quite often tbh

they lean against each other to promote knowledge transfer by osmosis, btw

lol. like kang and kodos transferring long strings of protein.

I have just been told the following:

• Jed has been known to cheat on her w/ students
• She herself hits on students (also, wears miniskirts and sexyish boots to class)
• This source has been to their house a few times. The first time, the daughters were kept in some sort of cage and were not to be let out until they finished their homework
• When the were finally let out, the oldest one began flirting with EVERYONE in sight
• Every time the source has been to their house, Jed has been drunk

a++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

awwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeees

some sort of cage = a room, one imagines

I have nothing more to add to this discussion, but this seems like as good a thread as any to tell this story:

A friend's roommate was dating a Chinese girl in college. One day the phone rings and he answers it, and a voice says "AMAZING MOTHER."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"AMAZING MOTHER!"
"Who is this?"
"AMAZING MOTHER!"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"AMAZING MOTHER! AMAZING MOTHER! AMAZING MOTHER!"
So he says "Listen Amazing Mother, I don't know what you want, but I don't have time for this right now." And he hangs up.

Moments later, he realizes that it was the mother of his girlfriend, M@e Z@ng.

pretty obviously she wanted him to say "amazing mother who"

AMAZING MOTHER YOU PIECE OF TRASH

question: do ya'll think the tiger mother is a WSable milf or does her being crazy put you off

the best part is how she tries to be funny but it comes across as tone-deaf

too bad they don't have piano camps for humor

lol

Why the heck is that story in the NYP? Isnt that a hideous tabloid rag?

Massive Chinese population in New York it's a Murdoch paper (although the only significance of this seems to be his chinese wife, NewsCorp aren't publishing the book)
