There is now a common phenomenon in this society, where families with multiple children are more likely to clash. In contrast, one-child families are doing better. Why is that?
The first phenomenon: unfair maintenance
First, in a family with many children, children share the responsibility of supporting their parents, that is, they also assume the responsibility of supporting their parents. However, inequality in maintenance often occurs. Sometimes siblings are suspicious and blame each other. The view was expressed that maintenance responsibility should be determined on the basis of economic conditions, while others were of the view that maintenance responsibility should be determined on the basis of the intensity of work and the burden on the family. Eventually, there will be various disagreements and it will be difficult to reach an agreement. But if it is a one-child family, the situation is completely different, and the responsibility for maintenance is concentrated on one person. As a result, by middle age, families with only one child tend to have a higher quality of life than other families with many children.
The second phenomenon: resource betting
On the other hand, for a family with only one child. At the stage of the original family, parents will definitely put all their energy into their children. As these children grow, their adaptability improves significantly and they can gain a foothold in society. In fact, only children are more likely to succeed in their careers. In contrast, in families with many children, at the same family background stage, some children have psychological defects due to the uneven distribution of parental resources.
In addition, the family has a heavy financial burden, less parental companionship, and poor material conditions. Their personalities can be well shaped, which can lead to contradictions in their future family life. Family relations are not handled well, how to support parents? In addition, behavioral discomfort and psychological imbalance can also easily trigger a personal midlife crisis. There will be obvious resistance to supporting parents and taking care of the family.
Summary of gender sentiments: Of course, there are also people who do not approve of this. Parenting is not only a social problem, but also a psychological problem. The purpose of this discussion is to correct a wrong idea. This doesn't mean that the more children you have, the more unhappy you will be later in life.
