1). How Chinese mothers rule the lives of their children with an iron hand http://mamaracha.livejournal.com/70535.html
2) How (presumably) non-Chinese mothers assume that they can control the birth process of their yet unborn children

I think that many hundreds of angry and irritated posts notwithstanding, this all boils down to the same thing: parents like to think that they have the best plan, that they know what is best for the children, and that they are in control. Children, however, have plans of their own. Some start early by turning into a breached position two days before a long-planned for "natural" home birth with a doula, forcing the mother into an OR and a C-section. Some take their time and strike back by dropping out of Wharton Business School, joining a commune and chaining themselves to the fence of the IMF in protest of globalization.
Parents, please remember: God only knows, God makes his plan. The information's not available to the mortal man. ... We think we're gliding down the highway, when in fact we're slip sliding away.
