Tiger Mothers...

You may remember a few days I posted about Amy Chua's Book The Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother

well seems her book caused a bit of a tizz, I found a Chinese Mother's view of Amy Chua's book and thought her comments were interesting, follow the link...

In other news, as they say, the lovely Cromwell has left us after only 2 days!  Luckily his owners saw NELAR's advert in the Grimsby Telegraph so they came to collect him yesterday.  So pleased that Cromwell has a happy ending.  We had kind of got into the mind set that Cromwell would be around for a while so we asked NELAR if they would like us to foster another cat since we were all set up for it...WELL, what happened next was unexpected!  They brought us their most pressing case to get socialised at our house because for the last seven weeks they have been kept in a cage, so now we have not one, not two, but three little kittens running around.  It is crazy here!!  They are not very sociable animals and we have not let the children handle them yet, but we are hoping that by the time it comes to them being rehomed they will be well used to other cats, children and dogs!  We're mulling over names for the little kitties, who are all boys, so suggestions are welcome!  I will post pictures when I can take some, at the moment they are moving too fast for even my new camera to catch them!
