Why do older generations think it's easy to raise children?
I think this is because the older generation mainly raises children and is only responsible for giving birth to raise the elderly. When you are sick, you can rely on the child's resistance to heal and carry it slowly.
And now raising children is to take care of the children in every detail, what allergies, sickness, adults have to be busy. Including education after the age of one or two, parents have to worry about it.
Probably that's why the older generation finds it easy to take care of children. Netizens in the comment area also clarified the truth.
In the past, children who were not in good health were naturally eliminated, and the parents did not care if the child was sick, and it all relied on self-healing.
Fourteen children? That is to say, she has been pregnant and giving birth to children for fourteen years in her life, which is too outrageous to imagine.
Although there are irresponsible people who have children indiscriminately, this phenomenon is much less than before.
If you are sick and don't see it, there is a high probability that you don't have the money to go to the doctor, and the medical conditions were not good at that time.
There are really few people in love among the older generation, on the surface, they have lived a lifetime, but in fact they are all about to settle.
At that time, many people really didn't care about the life or death of a child, and the child's survival and healthy growth depended on the child's own life.
The older generation has three children, and I have never seen a family with less than three children. For example, my grandmother and my grandmother both have three children, and they have quite few children. I have a friend who has three aunts and four uncles, four uncles and three aunts.
At that time, the eldest always had a responsibility to take care of his younger siblings, and most of the time his parents gave his younger siblings to the eldest to take care of.
Generally, those who are sent out and those who are thrown away are girls, and there were really many abandoned baby girls in the mountains and ravines at that time.
I heard from a friend that his grandmother gave birth to a pair of twins, one of whom had six fingers, and his grandfather cut off her sixth finger with scissors, and the child was in pain. I thought it was cruel when I heard it.
Fortunately, these children are still distressed, and their lives are big, otherwise they really wouldn't be alive now, and they really didn't take their lives as their lives before, it's terrible.
I'm really grateful and glad I was born in this wonderful era, and I hope that this doesn't happen again.
