> "They give up their own happiness for the sake of their children"

This sentence makes total sense for North Korean parents who work super-hard to afford smuggling their kids out of the country. But not for the richest region of the world superpower and the "citadel of democracy".

> "They put pressure on their kids to succeed so they can afford to live in this area when they grow up and repeat the cycle to become well-paid professionals and suburban parents"

I'd understand if they lived in a poor country, where being a "non well-paid professionals" meant constant suffering. But if a person "sacrifices" themselves so their kids can afford fancy car, hmm, something is suspicious here, isn't it? :-)
