Tiger parents do not blabber on about the achievements, they simply demand excellence from their kids.
If OP’s parents only had done that, we would not have had such a confusing post!!
I do not like parents who keep talking about their kids achievements either, but I see nothing wrong with demanding excellence of kids in whatever they do.
May be we all will be in a better society when more parents start doing that.
There are some real problems everyday on the other end of the spectrum i.e. parents who simply are not interested in their kid’s education & activities.
