I'd prefer they have fun and what not while still doing well (but not SUPER perfect) at school then to become study freaks and hate me and for me to be an authoritarian cunt.

it is expected of me as a parent
what will them other asian parents think of me if I don't control every aspect of my child's life????

depends on their age and how extreme whatever aspect of their behaviour is or whatever.
but i'd rather not force them to do anything i don't believe is absolutely necessary

I wouldn't care too much, as long as they don't do anything illegal (maybe i will let them off the hook if is something like weed, but if they do something like stealing, i would force my kid to apologize to the owner or whatever and work off the debt that he caused)

Also i would hide my son (or maybe send him overseas for a while to live with my cousins, till the heat is off) if he get a girl pregnant, and if the girl parents show up at my door, i would say he fled to thailand or something like that

If i had a son, i would go hunting with him once he old enough once in a while..... teach him about guns

To be honest there, i wouldn't like to have a daughter

yeah.
early age: swimming & some form of self defense (karate,taekwon do etc.)
around 10: encourage him to play a sport of their interest 1- 3x a week
14+: they now have their own choice whether to stop or continue playing sports

won't buy them a computer until they are in yr 9, if they need to use the internet i'll drop them off at the local library and come back at a designated time - that should teach them time management
