Why are the little ones always the most favored among the children in the family?

In rural areas, there has always been a phenomenon that parents love their children in a certain order. Often it is most obvious how many children there are in a family. The eldest grandson and son are the most favored, and of course the same goes for the eldest granddaughter and old daughter. Often the eldest brother or eldest sister in the family is the kind of thankless person. This is a common problem I have seen in all families. Of course, the only child is another Calculate. In my impression, and from talking to my family members, it is obvious that my old uncle and my uncle are treated much better than me, and their food and drink expenses have been higher than those of my elder brothers and sisters since childhood.

Then the question becomes, what is the reason? Why does this happen? As far as I know, this situation is not unique. It happens to everyone, including the TV series. (You can refer to the TV series Silly Spring) This question has really bothered me for a long time. , why? Because my mother, once I didn't study well when I was a child, she started to talk about how much she studied when she was in school. Later, she was not allowed to go to school at home and asked my old uncle to go to school. This concept makes me very profound. It was not until recently that I wanted to understand this issue. Now I will tell you whether my guess is correct.

Why is the youngest child in the family the most favored. In the past, people got married very young, with an average of 17 or 18 years old. They already got married and had children. Think about it, in that era of underdeveloped information, how much did children of 17 or 18 years old know? So when their first child was born, they had no concept of being a parent, and they didn't necessarily like children. So even though it is your own child, the relationship as a parent is not that deep. But as you grow older and have your second or third child, you will feel a little bit more like a parent. When the last child is born, when the parents' feelings are the strongest, they feel that they need to make up for it, so that's it. There is a feeling that the old son or the old daughter is the most favored.

So why should the eldest grandson and granddaughter be more favored? As the children in the family have grown up, the family's labor burden has been borne by the children, and there is nothing left to do except doing some logistical work. If you think about a person who has been busy for most of his life and is suddenly free, he will definitely want to find something to do. There is nothing to do in the countryside. What should he do? Of course, he has to raise a child! But it is impossible for you as you get older, so you can only let your son or daughter have a child early. In this way, with the expectation of the whole family, the third generation of the whole family is born. If the above conditions are met, do you think this child will Not favored? It is impossible to think about it, and we have never heard of the concept of favoring sons over daughters in our hometown. So as the first child of the third generation, both men and women definitely want to get married, and they must have the owner of the ladder immediately.

The above are my guesses about this tradition. If you have different opinions and thoughts, please leave a message in the comment area. If you think what I said makes sense, you can like and follow it. Thank you everyone for watching!
