Why in China, the elderly to help bring children is a natural thing?

Nowadays life in China, the old man with help children with children is the sentiment, not with is this. So I think in China, the elderly to help bring children is not a natural thing.

The law does not provide that the elderly must help their children with children. The reason why there are so many old people helping their children is because the old people consider the children's difficulties, inconvenience, or the old people have nothing to do at home, take the children as a kind of fun. Therefore, you can never say that grandparents take care of the children is natural, if you are busy with work and inconvenience to take care of the children and the elderly initiative to come forward to take care of the children for you, that is your happiness. On the contrary, you can't blame the old people, they are not obligated to bring up children.

Whenever I take a walk in the neighborhood, I can see many times that every morning in the neighborhood, the grandparents who take their grandchildren to school, get up early and late, and rain or shine. They should have been enjoying their old age, why are they living a busier life? Why don't their children hire a nanny instead of making their parents work so hard? This is also attributed to the endless incidents of child abuse by nannies, so more and more parents are afraid to leave their children in the care of others, and who will come to see their children in fear has become a difficult problem.

Elderly people with children bring to children:

1. and the elderly and the problem of intergenerational education

If you pass by a certain elementary school or kindergarten, you will find that almost all grandparents waiting for their children to come out. Sometimes, as soon as a child comes out, he or she immediately hands the bag to the grandparents. The teacher sees it and lets the child carry the bag by himself, but as soon as he goes out the old man is so distressed that he takes the bag over and carries it himself.

2. Parents and grandparents also often disagree on the issue of raising children, thus missing the way of education. Because the concepts of the two generations are different after all. But as soon as the problem is discovered, young parents should never feel that they have the right concept, and then go to chastise the elderly, which is likely to break their hearts.

I don't know if I'm too biased, but I always feel that the lives of the elderly around me seem to revolve around their children. Because their previous generation of people, the child from childhood is meticulous care, to the old, feel to help children take care of grandchildren, is a matter of obligation.

3. From the children's point of view, they take it for granted that their parents will take care of their grandchildren. On the one hand, it is true that they are busy at work and need help urgently, on the other hand, they are influenced by the situation of " one child, the whole family to take care of" in Chinese society.
