HOW TO BE THE PERFECT ASIAN AMERICAN PARENT
( From the second generation perspective)


1. Be a little more lenient on the 7:00 p.m. curfew.

2. Don't ask where the other point went when your child comes
home with a "B" grade on his/her report card.

3. Don't "ai-yah"(=Oh My God) loudly at your kid's dress habits.

4. Don't blatantly hint about the merits of Habad (Harvard),
Yeil(Yale), Purinsiton (Princeton), or Stamfud (Stanford).

5. Don't reveal all the intimate details of your kid's life to the
entire Asian community.

6. Don't ask your child, "What are you going to do with your life?"
if he/she majors in a non-science field.

7. Don't give your son a bowl haircut or your daughter two acres
of bangs.

8. Don't try to set your kid up on a date in anticipation of their
poor taste or inept social skills.

9. Incorporate other phrases besides, "Did you study yet?" or
"When are you getting married?" into your daily conversations
with your children.

10. Don't ask all your kid's friends over the age of 21
if they have a boy/girlfriend yet.
