I'll say it again - Wii, you're a great dad! I'm impressed with your ability to navigate adult women. It must be a gift.
The Asian expectation was what I was trying to say all along. It certainly does not mean it isn't prevalent in people across the spectrum, but many of the Asian folks I've met have had to live up to impossibly high (and IMHO very unrealistic) expectations. They place a lot of importance on being respected, and this is how they earn respect. Not to mention the parental proudness factor.
The fact that your daughter can see some of this is amazing.
And I really would imagine that Voldy would love her kids. That is the one thing you two share. She just hasn't seemed to figure out the cause-effect thing. Sigh. At least you have.
Carry on with your awesome self.
