Can raising children really prevent old age? Is it really right to raise children to prevent old age

There is a saying in China, raising children to prevent old age, the reason why we have children is to wait for us to be old, someone to take care of ourselves. However, with the development of the times, people's economic level has also been greatly improved, many people have pensions after retirement, or have accumulated enough wealth through hard work when they are young to ensure their pension life, and there is no need to rely on children to provide for the elderly. Hence the emergence of more and more dink couples, who think:

We don't rely on children to support our old age, so what's the point of having children?

You must know that the cost of raising a child is too high now, and it is not easy to bring up a child, and parents have to help their children buy a car and a house, get married and have children, and even when they are old, it is difficult to have their own free time, and they have to help their children take care of their children.

The concept of raising children to prevent old age is getting weaker and weaker, and many young couples can't figure out why they want to have children. When I was watching a variety show recently, the host of the show raised this question, I don't want to get married before I get married, and I don't want children after I get married, because I don't understand what the meaning of having children is. Spending money and having children is a very troublesome thing that will bring a lot of troubles to your life, which can be completely avoided, so you don't want to, because children disrupt your normal life.

The thoughts of this show host are naturally also the thoughts of many young couples, they don't know why they want to have children, is it just to pass on the lineage? If it is to have a child for the sake of having a child, what is the meaning of marriage? Regarding the host's question, Xiang Huaqiang's wife Chen Lan gave this answer:

When I grow old day by day, but my youth continues in the child, he grows up, so my time has not disappeared, many people will ask where has the time gone? I saw it in children.

Xiang Tai, who is in his 60s, is the only one among the guests of the show who is ready to be a mother-in-law, and because he is older, he has experienced a lot of things, so he sees things very clearly, and people live well.

It is everyone's freedom to have children or not, but if once you decide to have children, it is best for couples to make a careful decision after thinking clearly, once you become parents, the responsibility becomes more important, and two children are indeed something that requires more energy to complete in a day. Some people say that children are the continuation of each of our lives, and when we leave this world, there is still our blood in the world, and there are still people who remember the days when we were alive, you grow up with him, and he grows old with you, which can also be said to be the happiest thing in the world.

I think it's right, because now the aging of society is getting more and more serious, many old people are facing this problem of old-age care, and there are still relatively few nursing homes for the elderly in the society, which are far from meeting the needs of the elderly. At present, going to a nursing home also requires a certain economic strength to care for the elderly, which is not possible for most low-income families, especially the elderly in rural areas must be home care, at this time they need children to arrange their daily life.

At present, with the improvement of living standards, people's living standards are getting better and better, and people are living longer and longer, so that the aging of society is becoming more and more serious, and the nature of social welfare cannot be achieved, so baby air cold is also a way for most people to care for the elderly. Therefore, it is still necessary to have the next generation of children, so that there will be someone to care for when they are old in the future. This is also part of the development and reproduction of society.

Raising children to prevent old age is a deep-rooted concept that has been passed down in China for thousands of years! Raising children to prevent old age is a good wish, but also an expectation for children, in the case of the social security system is not very perfect, the idea of relying on children to provide for the elderly is deep-rooted. With the development of modern society, the old-age security system is becoming more and more perfect, and raising children to prevent old age refers to the time companionship and spiritual support of children to the elderly, rather than economic subsidies.

In the movie "Sister Peach" directed by Xu Anhua, "Sister Peach", who has been waiting for the Li family for decades, asked the "young master" played by Andy Lau to send her to a nursing home for the elderly after a stroke. There are also all kinds of beings inside, Sister Tao has always hoped that the young master will come to see her, and she has been showing off the young master's kindness to her with her companions! There is an old man in the film who has never been visited, and the nursing home still takes care of her cleanly, this kind of thing is very difficult in reality, if the old man who lives in the nursing home has no one to visit, it means that he can be slaughtered and bullied, at least it is difficult to be carefully cared for.

How many elderly people does a caregiver have to take care of, and is it too busy? Which priority, don't they have a psychological order? Think about this picture:

When you get old, who will take care of yourself often? What are your thoughts? How long can you last without a spiritual support?

Back to the topic: to raise children, you have to have offspring, you have to have children, both men and women! There is also a saying: it is better to save money than to save people. In addition, we should also attach importance to family education and give our children fair and selfless love.

Raising children is not only to prevent old age, but also to respect, care, accompany and love new life.

I think this statement is incorrect, in the past it was to raise children to prevent old age, but now as long as the children are raised, and they start a family, they will not have to take care of it in the future, after all, we now have our own pension, as long as we do not burden them. If you have the idea of raising children to prevent old age, you will be very disappointed at that time.

From the development of feudal society to the current socialist society, there have been rapid development and changes in all aspects, but the concept of "raising children to prevent old age" is deeply rooted in people's thoughts.

1. Elderly people who do not live with young people.

For various reasons, the old do not live with the young people. Many young people who work hard in the city, whether they live in a rented house or buy a house in the city where they live, most of their parents will not go to the city where their children live to support the elderly.

On the one hand, they don't want to add trouble to their children and increase financial pressure; On the other hand, when people reach a certain age, they will fall in love with their families, and the places where they live for most of their lives cannot be thrown away; Another reason is that after all, it is an intergenerational person, and the lifestyle, diet and living will be very different, and it is not comfortable for anyone to live awkwardly together, so it is better to let the young people live in their way, and the elderly themselves how to be comfortable, so that the relationship between the two generations will be closer.

2. The elderly who want to live together, but can't live together.

The most realistic problem, the economic conditions. Raising children to prevent old age is still the consensus of the elderly in rural areas.

Young people in rural areas are roughly divided into two categories, one is those who have jobs in the cities or do business in the cities and settle down, there is a saying that is very practical, if you want to change the fate of one generation, you must have a good foundation laid by the previous three generations. This generation has just left the countryside and has no certain foundation in the city, and their original intention of settling in the city is to make the fate of the next generation better than their own, and they first think about the future of their children, and then they think of their parents in the countryside.

The second type is that young people go out to work, and the parents who stay in the countryside have to take care of the work of the family on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also have to take care of the lives of the grandchildren who are left behind.

Third, the current situation of having more than enough heart but not enough strength.

Our parents raise us young, and we support our parents when they are old, which is the traditional filial piety of the Chinese nation. But the reality in front of people is that everyone is willing to be willing to stay with their parents and have to run for life and provide for their parents. It's just that pension is not as simple as thinking about it in your heart and talking about it in your mouth.

If there is a pension for the elderly, it will greatly reduce the financial burden of children. And those rural elderly, most of them suffered a lot in their early years, were unwell and were reluctant to go to the hospital for examination**, and when they reached old age, they were often sick. Although there is a pension insurance now, the little money for a year is not enough to even do a physical examination.

Relying on children, children also have the next generation to raise, even if they have that heart, they don't have that strength.

Therefore, raising children does not prevent old age. The elderly should change their concept and save more pension money for themselves when they have the ability to prepare for their old age.
