Recommended: Since ancient times, parents have been a conventional thing and a social responsibility. However, children will grow up one day, and their parents will gradually grow older one day. Therefore, generations of young people will often support their old parents after they grow up to repay their nurturing grace.
However, with the development of society, we have found that there is a type of young people who have left their parents' grace behind. Although they are fully capable of going out to make money to support themselves, they don’t do this. Instead, they stay at home, spend time by playing with their phones, sleeping, and reaching out to ask their parents for money to live. It is really hard to understand.
However, what many people don’t know is that in addition to the traditional leniency leniency leniency leniency we have seen, there are some confusing new ways of leniency in society. Many parents are very supportive of this type of new leniency and believe that it is a sign of a promising child, but in fact it is exactly the opposite.
Next, the author will take you to know two common "secret" phenomena of surviving parents today.
One of the new modern phenomena of leniency: young people take the postgraduate entrance examination and take the civil service exam.
As we all know, the number of college graduates in my country in recent years is very large. For example, in the 2022 graduation season, the number of college graduates in my country reached 10.76 million. With the increasing number of college graduates and the impact of special reasons such as repeated mask incidents, it is difficult for college students to find a job.
Therefore, under this background, many college graduates choose to continue studying and improve their academic qualifications, study for graduate students or take the civil service exam.
Regularly speaking, you can actually work hard while working. Although this will be harder, it is also feasible. But there are many young people who directly choose not to work and devote all their energy to improving their education and taking civil service exams.
They have no income themselves, and they need help from their parents in every aspect of their lives, and they can only ask for daily expenses with their parents. Most parents are very supportive of their children, and some even regard their children's decisions as a sign of promising success.
But the fact is that some college graduates only regard the postgraduate entrance examination and the public examination as reasons for their peace of mind to rely on their parents. Behind them is the study of fishing for three days and two days of drying the Internet. They have not achieved their goals year after year. The civil service exam is just an excuse for them to be lazy and not go to work.
The second common new phenomenon of leniency: you obviously have money, but you have to spend your parents.
There is a type of young people in society who clearly have an income, but they still have to ask their parents for money, and then ignore them after "squeezing" their parents.
Don’t think that this is just a few phenomena. According to statistics from the China Aging Research Center, in cities, more than 65% of families have the phenomenon of "old and young" support, and about 30% of adults rely on their parents to pay part or even all of their living expenses to live.
The author has a relative. His son and daughter-in-law often asked two elderly people for money for various reasons in the past few years, such as children asking for money for school, insufficient living expenses, buying parking spaces, etc. The money the couple never respects their parents, but uses it to travel, buy some luxury goods, and eat big meals to spend.
In the eyes of parents, the son and daughter-in-law buying a house and a car in the city is also a big deal for themselves, so they don’t care about spending more money for them.
But just this year, his daughter-in-law even asked them for a bank card for their pension account, and the two old men firmly opposed this. Because pension is the only source of income for the elderly, it is enough to spend all their savings on their sons and daughters-in-law. If they take away their pensions in their later years, then some physical problems will really be called "Daily Tiantian" and "Daily Dadi".
To sum up, there are many new ways of leniency in today's society. Many elderly people have worked hard all their lives, but when they get old, they do not wait for their children's filial piety. Instead, they are invisible "explosion", which is really sad.
Here we call on elderly friends to leave a way out for themselves in their savings. If they unfortunately meet their children who like to rely on their parents, they must learn to hold the economic initiative firmly in their own hands, so that they will be more secure in their later years.
I wonder what you think about this phenomenon?
