In terms of the concept of childbearing, the younger generation shows a more indifferent attitude than the older generation.
They tend to pursue personal quality of life and spiritual satisfaction, and do not regard having many children as the only criterion for happiness, but cherish freedom and enjoy every moment of life.
The older generation, on the other hand, adheres to the traditional concept of "having more children and more blessings", believing that a full house of children and grandchildren is a symbol of good fortune. This difference in perception reflects the change and development of the lifestyles and values of the two generations.
Recently, a mother-in-law was rejected by her daughter-in-law for giving birth to a third child, and the scene of throwing a large stack of money directly on the bed the next day attracted attention. Netizens said, does this child have to be born?
It is reported that in a certain family, the mother-in-law adheres to the traditional concept of "more children and more blessings", and has given birth to her daughter-in-law who has two sons many times, and recently upgraded the birth plan to three children.
However, in the face of her mother-in-law's enthusiastic expectations, her daughter-in-law politely refused, saying that she prefers to enjoy a free and high-quality life, rather than over-investing in childbirth, which affects self-development and quality of life.
What's more, raising a child requires too much money, and with the couple's economic situation, it is already very difficult to be responsible for the raising of two children, and they can't afford to have three children.
The mother-in-law heard from her daughter-in-law's words, and the daughter-in-law was worried about financial problems. The next day, the mother-in-law raised the matter again in an eye-popping way, throwing a stack of thick cash on the bed and asking her daughter-in-law, "Is this money enough to have three children?"
The daughter-in-law looked at the stack of cash on the bed and had mixed feelings in her heart. She understands her mother-in-law's desire for family prosperity, and also understands that behind this heavy material support is her mother-in-law's selfless love and expectation. But her eyes did not waver because of this, but seemed more determined.
She whispered to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I know that you are doing this for the good of our family, and this money can indeed solve some practical financial difficulties, but the reason for my refusal does not stop there. ”
She shook her mother-in-law's hand and continued earnestly, "Raising a life requires not only money, but also energy, time, and endless love. Your son and I are already doing our best to take care of our two children, and we want to give them the best education and living environment within our limited energy. ”
She paused, her eyes revealing expectations for the future, "Moreover, I also hope to have my own career and living space, and continue to learn and improve, so that I can become a better mother and set an example of independence and self-improvement for my children." Having three children may not only reduce our quality of life, but may also fail to provide every child with the attention and companionship they deserve. ”
In the end, she sincerely said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, I have received your wishes, but please respect and understand my choice, let us work together to raise the two existing children to adulthood, so that they can grow up healthy and happy, this is our greatest blessing now." ”
The mother-in-law listened to her daughter-in-law's words, although she still struggled with traditional concepts in her heart, but she didn't dare to force it anymore.
Regarding this scene, some netizens said that it is much better than those in-laws who just talk and don't take a penny.
Some netizens said that the mother-in-law who likes this kind of action shows that this mother-in-law really likes children. However, there are already two, so don't regenerate them. It's easy to have a baby, but it's hard to raise a child.
Some netizens even said that if my mother-in-law is so real, I am afraid of her.
Author's point of view
Raising a child is a very tedious thing, don't try to give birth just because you like it. The mother-in-law's mood is understandable. However, it is still necessary to respect the opinions of young people. After all, it is not the mother-in-law who will raise children in the future.
