I see that nowadays, people are still very important about boys and girls. To be honest, I used to have this opinion too. I thought that when I gave birth to a daughter, she would later become a bride in someone’s house. As for the son, he has to take care of his parents anyway.
In the past, my wife and I were also among the well-to-do in the town. We had 3 children in 5 years. But because the economy is good, my husband urges his wife:
“I see more children as more wealth. I already have 3 kids, now let’s have another one. If the princess can have boring lines, that’s the most beautiful thing.”
I think what my husband said makes sense. Who does not want to have children at home? Then, at that time, I gave birth to twins again. It’s a bit sad to say that, because there are no daughters. But in return, every time my family goes somewhere, people are amazed. Especially the families who can’t have a son, they are very jealous of my family.
Needless to say, my neighbor gave birth 4 times and still had a princess. Seeing that every time I was born, I had a son to follow, she kept praising:
“You are indeed blessed. My wife and I probably stopped at 4 children. Thinking about it is sad because I can’t find a son, but having more children, I don’t have money to feed them. And you don’t have to worry anymore. If you like it later, stay with one, if not, just rotate, now this one, tomorrow another.”
Hearing people say that, I myself feel cool and cool. My children grow up healthy, study well, so their future is bright. However, when I got married for my children, I realized that there were many problems. When the two older children got married, we had money, so we gave each child a gold tree as a wedding gift. In addition, when they build a house, my wife and I also support half of it.
After that period, my wife and I began to face economic difficulties when our investments made a loss. All accumulated assets are brought to pay debts. So when the other 3 got married, we could only organize it like any other normal wedding. I thought the children would sympathize with me, but because of this, they hated each other. Say that your parents are biased towards you. Even though I explained, they were still displeased.
It’s sad that my sons have changed their personalities since getting married. They don’t care about their parents, just like a common father who doesn’t cry. The youngest said that the eldest brother should be responsible, while the eldest said that both parents are common property, and everyone must share equally.
Remember last year’s Tet, my wife and I were planning to repair the house, so we called our 5 children to discuss. After saying that the estimate was about 700 million, my parents had 200 million, they started arguing about who has to spend more and who spends less. Everyone said they had a lot of things to worry about, so they didn’t want to bear this expense. Finally, my husband banged the table and said:
“Well, my parents just tried to please you guys and didn’t expect anything. It’s late, go back and let these old people sleep.”
That said, the whole night, my wife and I could not sleep. Because it is true that we have to borrow, but we still want to see if the children are enthusiastic about us. No one expected to be interested in supporting their parents.
Because I just built a house last year, this year, my husband and I are also poor. A few days ago, I was sick so I had to be hospitalized. Afraid of a lot of hospital bills, I told my husband to call the children. But when my mother was discharged from the hospital, they came together. After sitting for a while, the doctor announced to pay the bill, the two of them looked at each other, no one would stand up to pay.
Seeing that, I was so bored that I asked my husband to give the wallet to my eldest son to go through the procedure. As soon as he held the money in his hand, it rushed away, everyone. After paying, only 4 million in hospital fees. But in the end, my son didn’t spend any money. The other children did not ask how many days the mother was in the hospital, how much the medicine cost.
It’s so sad to think that I don’t know. Giving birth to 5 sons, each of them only thinks about themselves, not paying attention to their parents. It turned out that it was thanks to it, but it ended up in vain. As for my neighbor, she gave birth to 4 daughters, but they were extremely filial. A few months ago, their sisters just sent home 3 billion for their parents to build a house. After the year was completed, the house was probably the biggest in town. Seeing people being taken care of by their children like this, I myself feel very heartbroken. Who does not want in the late afternoon, to be filial piety by their children. It’s just a pity that my wife and I don’t have that blessing. So everyone, in life, don’t look at what’s in front of you and think you’re complete. Because maybe my daughter is the place for me to rely on when I’m old.
