Tiger, helicopter, hippe

Oops, this post was never published. Sorry so late. 
I know you're intrigued at this point. You're wondering what a tiger, hippie, and helicopter have in common. Is it the "i" and the "e"? Noooo. Unique school mascots? Noooo. They are parenting styles. I saw it on GMA the other day, and it got me to wondering. What kind of parent will I...uhhh we be? First off a quick definition of each, better yet origins. So this Chinese author recently wrote a book about how she was raised the "superior" Chinese way. She was expected to get all A's , could not attend sleepovers or playdates, could not participate in any extra curricular activities, was not allowed TV or computer games,  and had to play either the violin or piano. She adopted this tiger style of parenting for her kids, also. This style is the fast track to the Ivy League. Then they showed a kid who was raised by a helicopter mom. As you can guess the helicopter mom hovers over her child. They are there when you need them and don't need them. Always there. The kid on GMA did well because his mom was always there. Some helicopter moms even get apartments near their kids college! The last person was a hippie parented kid. Her parents never stressed her about grades, but she did well. She knew they expected her to do well, but did not have to voice it constantly. They didn't even care to see grades every time. So, what kind of parents will we be? I don't think there is a term for how we will be. We just know that Mason will know our expectations. I'll be darned if we hover over him. He will have to know how to be independent and responsible. I do understand the idea of hippies, so I'm sure I'll have a little more hippie in me than my other options. But I don't want him getting too comfy and thinking he does not have to divulge his academic life to us. And knowing Pat there are gonna be some things that he will have to do and we will not allow, thus making him a Daddy Tiger. So as I write this what do I learn? We're a lil bit of everything. Let's see how this turns out.
