Why do some parents think that having an only child is a “waste”?

Many only children always hear gossip from others when they are growing up? What will a family with only one daughter do in the future? ?Or? With only one daughter like this, what’s the use of having so much money for her parents? ?These words will not only hurt the heart of a growing girl, but may also make parents who originally love their children think that raising an only child is useless. As early as many years ago, the country has been advocating that both boys and girls should be born equally, but why do so many people think that only children are raised in vain? Let me analyze the reasons for you below. ?

(1) Some parents are more conservative in their thinking, and the concept of raising children for old age is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many times, parents who think that having an only child will be in vain are generally people with low levels of education. This type of people are relatively conservative in their thinking and believe in the traditional concept of raising children for old age. Therefore, they may think that raising a daughter will not help carry on the family line, and may even lead to them becoming homeless in old age. Such people usually try their best to have children before giving birth to a son. Obviously this is a very foolish approach.

(2) Many parents who are influenced by new ideas say this just as a joke.

Parents influenced by Beijing New Thought and New Culture can understand that all children are the same. But why do they think that having an only child means raising a child in vain? That's because after giving birth to a daughter, there is a high probability that she will marry someone else. There are not many opportunities for her daughter to stay with her parents when she grows up, so they will laugh at themselves and say this. Such parents actually love their children very much, and they are just joking when they say such things.

So some parents think that having an only child is a waste of money. These are wrong conclusions based on their knowledge level and concepts. And some enlightened parents say this just as a joke to liven up the atmosphere. However, you also need to be careful not to overdo the joke, so as not to hurt the girl's heart.
