Both boys and girls are "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China". What is the helplessness behind ridicule?

Earlier, people said that their sons were "CCB" and their daughters were "China Merchants Bank". Later, people said that the situation should be reversed. The daughter is "China Construction Bank" and the son abdicated to become "China Merchants Bank". Now, there is another popular saying on the Internet: sons and daughters are homophonic "ICBC" and "internal injuries".

Why are sons and daughters "ICBC"? The sadness behind the joke, some things really have to be experienced to understand. Indeed, no matter what sex the children at home are, after becoming parents, many people have a deep feeling that every child is a "golden retriever".

Nowadays, many young people are reluctant to have a second child, and some even have been married for several years and are not ready to have children. Children are so cute, but why don't these people want children? In fact, most of the reasons are because the cost of raising a child is "too high".

There are always old people born this way. Raise one child, and also raise three or five children. Why can't children afford it? Indeed, in the early days, children would grow up regardless of their parents, but this is not the case now. Therefore, some netizens joked that the current child is "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China".

Children's education needs a lot of money. Before that, children may still be herding sheep and cattle at home when they are teenagers. Today's children attend all kinds of early education enlightenment classes just after birth. For the older ones, we have to arrange various interest classes and extra-long classes. Of course, these classes can be skipped, but parents will always feel sorry for their children if they don't.

Older, the children start school. Just choosing a good kindergarten may cost a lot of money. Then in primary school and junior high school, it can be said that the school selection fee in each period is not low. In short, today's children have just started school and received education, and their parents are under great pressure. If the child can't keep up with a certain subject after school, parents will give the baby one-on-one remedial classes, which will cost more. This expenditure can be said to be gender-neutral, so many people say that children are now "Industrial and Commercial Bank of China".

The growth of children is no longer so "casual", which is also very realistic. In the past, children may have never even left their own small villages when they were teenagers, but now children have begun to "fly" all over the country and even the world during kindergarten. In order to make children not lose at the starting line and to make children not worse than other children, it can be said that many parents will "spend money" on their children's growth with high standards.

The cost of all kinds of long-term knowledge and eye-opening, the cost of cultivating children's aesthetics and world outlook, and so on. In short, today's children, their growth is no longer so "casual". On the contrary, every step of the child is basically the result of careful arrangement by parents. Plus the children's lives, whether it's their diet, their travel, their clothes, etc. These can be said that every expenditure is not small. In this way, the cost of children's growth is naturally not low.

Therefore, the saying that children are all "ICBC" seems like a joke, but the sadness behind it is true. After all, the facts are here and it is hard to refute.
