? As of December 31, 2020, 2020 was born and has been to the public security organs for registration of household registration of newborns *** 10035 million, of which 5,290,000 boys, accounting for 52.7%, 4,745,000 girls, accounting for 47.3%. 2020?

? As we all know, since ancient times, when a child is born, the surname is with the father, and rarely with the mother. But with the progress of the times, feminism is rising, and now many families after the birth of the child, the last name is with the mother, but most families still will not agree with the child with the mother's surname, not only the father, even the mother is also so, what is the reason?

1. Traditional concepts. Because human society is developed from matrilineal society to patrilineal society, in the patrilineal society, the offspring naturally follow the father's surname. The family name also delineates the identity of the child, in fact, said to follow the father's name, this statement is inaccurate, strictly speaking should be followed by the father of the family name. In the traditional concept, a child's last name means that he is a member of the family and has the right to inherit the family's property.

2. Men are always dominant. In a family, the male is always the backbone of the family, almost all decisions are made by the male, and the male is also the main source of income in the family, but also the head of the family, so the child with the father's last name, which is a very normal phenomenon!

3. Fear of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts. Now a lot of family conflicts, are from the children, the most serious is the problem of the family name, in general, the child is with the father's surname, but if the woman insists on the child with the woman's surname, then it will inevitably lead to unnecessary conflicts, triggering family wars, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relations will be very tense!

4. Enhance the father's sense of responsibility. Mothers can guarantee that their children are 100% theirs, while fathers cannot. When they realize that the child does not look very much like themselves, there is a risk of psychological resentment. This is the time to let the child take the father's last name is can be for the child to get more recognition from the father, each call the child's name, can make the father's sense of responsibility increased, so as to more committed to love the child.

It doesn't matter whether the child's last name is the father's or the mother's, as long as the child is able to grow up healthy.
