The zoo mothers

We had just begun to get used to the new models maternal recorded under the labels of Power Mom, Mom Blogger, Bio Mom, Glamour Mom, coming when a Chinese-American professor at Yale self-proclaimed Tiger Mom in the Wall Street Journal, could not avoid attracting some interest. Amy Chua has published an excerpt from his book Battle Hymn of the Mother Tiger (Battle Hymn of the mother tiger) arouse some surprise (and thousands of negative comments).

No, the mother tiger has nothing to do with Palin's mother grizzly model. It is rather the antithesis of the Italian mother hen. Or so it seems from the information of Chua (who later complained of having been misunderstood, even though the title of the post was because the mothers are higher than Chinese).

The starting point for reflection comes from the fact that mothers grow thousands of Chinese children and geniuses SuperTalent Chua (who has two daughters) argues it's all about the method of Tiger Mom, which includes, in order, prohibit any choice for their children, no games or television, but must play the violin or piano, recluderli up to them to become best in class, especially in mathematics and the like.

An ancestral tradition of the Chinese concept of motherhood, said a Chinese journalist at the Daily Beast, he clings to the idea of the mother herself, judged by the company to his sons as they appear. Tiger Mom admits, however, that even if the first child is a virtuoso pianist and diligent, the second, thirteen, had "humiliated" (so reads the title of the book).

Perhaps because, in general, the education of children, not everything goes as planned by the parents. With so many famous mothers and pregnant star ready to parental metamorphosis, we wondered, then, who could be relentless in their mother tiger. If Victoria Beckham pregnant with fourth child is about to enter the category rabbit mothers (with many nannies, though), the Australian Nicole Kidman, however, having recently declared that they had a child in utero via rent, seems more like a mother kangaroo ready to put his daughter in his pocket and made beautiful.

Penelope Cruz has experienced the pregnancy from mother mole, that is invisible to the paparazzi, hidden in a house in California and a boat of friends (very few pregnant her photos). Suri Cruise could fairly be described as daughter tiger wand mom Katie Holmes on what he wants or does not want to (which makes Katie a mother scared and obedient sheep).

While Jada Pinkett Smith will turn soon mama bird and drive out of the nest the little Willow is getting popular because of her? The forecasts are wasted on such mothers finally will be the two actresses Natalie Portman and Marion Cotillard. Well, the zoo is quite large, maybe you will create some new species (and that's all mothers, for example?).
