When students enter university, they are prepared for an independent life, and they need to take care of their own food, clothing, housing and transportation. For parents, there will always be some contradictions and disputes when giving students living expenses every month. A father recently faced such a dilemma - is it enough to give his daughter 3,000 yuan a month for living expenses?
In the eyes of this father, he was really worried that his daughter had entered college just to ask for money. Since her daughter entered school, she has always found various reasons to ask her family for money, and even overspent for two months in a row. Although he was reluctant, he still had to give his daughter even the rain and dew.
The father's experience resonated with many parents, and there was a heated discussion about the cost of living. There are different opinions, and parents have different opinions on how much living expenses should be given to students each month.
Some parents, for example, say that their children only need 1,500 yuan a month to live at East China University of Technology, and they feel proud of this amount. It was also mentioned that the school cafeteria only costs 30 yuan for three meals a day, so 3,000 yuan is enough. Some parents recalled their college life, saying that 800 yuan a month was enough to spend that year.
However, there are some parents who disagree. They said that the cafeteria of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics where their children study is expensive, and it is not as cheap as netizens imagined. They are worried that their children will be wronged, so they will try to make up for it if they can, and ask for it from their families if they can't do it.
There are also some people who believe that since their daughter is in need, her needs should be met. Parents who later make money in other ways and miss the opportunity given to their daughter will regret it for the rest of their lives. In addition, they believe that it is not that the family is too poor to make ends meet, but that it is just that they are giving their children some extra support.
The differences in parents' perceptions of the cost of living for their students reflect the differences in reality. Parents sometimes struggle to understand the actual life situation of their students and still use their old thinking to evaluate the modern world. However, times are constantly changing, and prices and living standards are constantly changing.
Even the income from the hard work of parents needs proper recreation. Students go to college not just to study, but more importantly to experience this quality time. If, according to the parents, students only eat in the cafeteria, and there is no socialization and no entertainment, then what is there to remember about college life?
In addition, Shanghai's economy is developed and prices are high, so 3,000 yuan per month is already a normal level for students to save money. If the family conditions allow, parents may be able to be more comfortable with living expenses, after all, they have worked hard all their lives to give their children a better life.
Families with limited financial conditions should also inform the actual situation in advance, and the students are adults and should be able to understand and cope with small things.
Ultimately, parents should not impose their own ideas on others when giving them living expenses. They need to keep up with the times, provide reasonable living expenses according to their family's financial situation, and understand the realities of the situation that students face.
