Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother



I couldn't put this book down and I happened to be watching Susan's boys and saw this book on her desk. I've heard so many things about this book and wanted to know her view of motherhood.

It was a very easy read and entertaining at times to read just how much she controlled her children and to then read how she kept it up and was consistent. I am not a consistent parent and I will be the first to admit it. But she is intense and fierce.

I've read many reviews from mothers I respect who have read this book and to some I am surprised to what they have said about it. Because now that I have read it I see some great points but I feel like she doesn't give them the free agency to choose.

Here is one and here is the other.
