I'm a 60-year-old man, but I didn't expect my daughter-in-law to educate me during the Chinese New Year. Eating and chatting in the evening, I talked with my daughter-in-law about whether I want a second child, I said, our first child is more than 3 years old, and he is in kindergarten, you are now energetic, you see that the country has let go of the third child, our family can always have a second child!
Daughter-in-law Xiaomei lowered her head to peel the shrimp shell for the child, and after listening to what I said, she didn't look up, and continued to peel the shrimp shell and said, "Dad, I know you like children, but we have to look at this problem rationally." She looked up at me as she spoke, "The state does encourage three children and encourage childbearing, but this is not simply a call for every family to have a second or third child." ”
I've always liked children, and I really want to have a grandson at home, and if I have a grandson, can I count myself as a successor, when I heard Xiaomei say this, I asked her: "What do you say?" ”
Xiaomei put down the shrimp in her hand, looked at me and said, "For the working class, the cost of raising children is not only the material level, but more importantly, the investment of energy and educational resources. Our priority is to ensure that the children available have the best education and growth environment, rather than blindly chasing numbers. ”
I was silent for a while, thinking that what Xiaomei said made sense. Indeed, I overlooked the changing mindset of modern parenting and the pressures faced by the younger generation. Xiaomei's words woke me up all of a sudden, and I smiled, which was a recognition of my daughter-in-law's wisdom and a reflection on my own inherent concepts.
Maybe many of the older generation who have the same idea as me, everyone likes children, and they also want to raise a few more at home, and they will always say to the children: have a few more, grit your teeth and see that it is good, I can also help you watch. But giving birth to a child is not only about giving birth to such a thing, the most difficult thing is to raise, raise, and educate, which is responsible for the child, not for the sake of being born.
Daughter-in-law Xiaomei woke me up, what do you think about having a second and third child?
