Parenting Fail - 'R' Rated Movie Edition
2011-04-18 17:30:00
Tiny Baby Lady finally let me out of the house for a few hours this weekend to see Wes Craven's magnum opus, Scream IV.John and I plopped down in our usual seats and waited for the film to start.  While we munched on our M&Ms, a woman entered the theater followed by her three small children.  I mean, small. Like between the ages of three and seven small.  I thought about informing the woman that Rio was across the hall, but I didn't.  Because I didn't want to be that person.  Maybe her kids routinely watch violent movies.  Maybe they'd already seen Screams I-III, and had been waiting on pins and needles for months to see the latest installment.  Who...

Chicago, Wednesday, March 16, 2011.  Yasmina Reza's triple Tony Award-winning "God of Carnage" that opened Monday at the Goodman Theatre takes its audience on a rollicking roller coaster ride of twists, dips and turns as it examines the very nature of human nature.   The 70-minute, no-intermission show is set in the living room of Veronica (Mary Beth Fisher) and Michael (Keith Kupferer)--a chic contemporary space filled with vases of tulips and many of Veronica's art books.  It seems that their eleven-year-old son has been "attacked" with a stick by the son of Annette...

Is the Chinese style of parenting better than the American way?
2011-01-13 03:11:00
Meet Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.  She has two daughters and her style of parenting strictly prohibits, among many other things, sleepovers, video games, television watching and any grade lower than an A.   Chua's daughters are also required to play either the piano or violin and practice for hours everyday.  As Chua says, "What Chinese parents understand is that nothing is fun until you're good at it."Chua also says that Chinese parents can call their children 'garbage,' say to their daughters 'Hey fatty - lose some weight' and 'You're lazy. All of your classmates are getting ahead of you.'Ouch!Chua says Western parents worry too much about their children's self-esteem.  Uh, not sure that's such a...
