Giving red envelopes to children during the Spring Festival is a traditional custom of ours, representing the expectation of good expectations for children. However, with the improvement of people's economic conditions, the amount of red envelopes is also getting larger and larger, so there are also many contradictions, because of the contradictions caused by red envelopes.
Recently, a netizen said on the Internet:My cousin gave my child a red envelope of 100 yuan, and she has three children. If I give 100 yuan per child, it is 300 yuan, which feels a bit of a loss, and if I give 50 yuan per child and it doesn't feel good, how much should I give?
This may be a problem that many people have to face during the Spring Festival, when the number of children in both families is not equal, the total amount of red envelopes will also be unequal, which naturally makes many people feel uncomfortable, so what should I do in the face of such a problem? Let's take a look at the comments of netizens:
Some people suggest not giving it directly, others suggest a hundred and one, and some people suggest having a few more, so that they can make money every year.
Some netizens also said that you can't be too fine, you are all your own family, why bother so much if you have more and less.
However, some netizens have indeed encountered similar situations, and there are many of them, let's take a look:
It seems that the red envelope problem is indeed something that everyone will encounter, so how can the red envelope make everyone happy? Personally, I think there are at least a few principles to be observed:
As the saying goes, brothers also have to settle accounts, and the same is true when it comes to red envelopes. Parents with many children try to wait for others to give back the red envelope, don't give it first, so the other party is very passive.
If you have three children, one of them, wait for each other to give them, and if the other party gives each child 100 yuan, you give 300 yuan to each child, so that both parties do not suffer a loss, and everyone is happy. Because families with many children have an advantage in the red envelope issue, no matter how you give yourself, you will not suffer, so you must not give it first, don't have the intention of taking advantage of the other party, now no one is stupid, people suffer a loss for one year, and they will not give it again in the second year, and the contradictions between the two sides have also arisen, so there is really no need to make trouble for the red envelope.
Of course, it would be best if the children's red envelopes could be exchanged for reciprocal ones, but in fact it was impossible, because the economic situation of each family is different, the number of children is also different, and it is impossible to completely pursue reciprocity.
Brothers and sisters, everyone's economic ability is not the same, some people may be rich, like to give children a big red envelope, but some are not financially rich, can not give such a big red envelope, at this time the conditions are good to eat a little loss, there is no need to worry about this money. In addition, as long as the money is given, don't expect to earn it back, because giving red envelopes is not a business in the first place, let alone making money in this area, it is even less kind.
Personally, I think that if it is between brothers and sisters, it will be given according to the number of children, and the amount of red envelopes should not be too large, after all, red envelopes are gifts for children, not for parents, and parents really don't need to count them, losing the meaning of red envelopes.
With the improvement of people's economic level, our New Year's money is also rising, more and more, and now many people can no longer afford to give Spring Festival red envelopes.
Look at the Internet, how many people are worried about New Year's red envelopes. Grandparents and grandparents are almost bankrupt in the New Year, and the red envelopes for grandchildren are getting bigger and bigger, and it seems that 1,2000 can no longer be used. Among relatives and friends, the red envelopes are getting bigger and bigger, one hundred and two hundred has become less and less, and it is three hundred and five hundred at every turn, and it will cost thousands of yuan to send red envelopes in the New Year. This is also the main reason why young people don't want to go home for the Chinese New Year!
This should really be like the Cantonese people who learn that red envelopes are only given out for five or ten yuan, so that even if more children are given red envelopes, everyone is not under much pressure. The most important thing is that such a red envelope is more meaningful, and it is really given to the child to become the child's pocket money, rather than through the child's hand to the parents.
It was originally a very beautiful thing to give children New Year's money during the Spring Festival, but now it has become more and more meaningless. Everyone is comparing, to see whose red envelope is bigger, everyone is still calculating, to see who suffers a loss and takes advantage, if this continues, no one may be willing to give red envelopes in the future, and this custom has slowly disappeared. Therefore, in order to make the New Year's money more meaningful, let's learn like Cantonese people, make the red envelope smaller, become a red envelope for children in the real sense, and thoroughly inherit and carry forward our traditional customs!
