Speaking of second child

Two days ago, a colleague from the sales department announced the good news in the group, saying that he had given birth to a daughter. I was particularly surprised at the time, for two main reasons.

First, the news came very suddenly. Although it was their private matter, I didn't know anything about it. My colleagues' confidentiality work can be done well. Another point is that my colleague is 82 years old. Her daughter-in-law is one year older than him. She has a second child at the age of 40. Not to mention the high risk, the age alone is beyond my expectations.

When the country opened the second child a few years ago, my colleague wanted to have another one. Unfortunately, at that time, I just bought a house, and the financial pressure was particularly great. In addition, his daughter-in-law's job was also unstable, which led to the desire to have a baby at that time, but she didn't.

In the past two years, the family's economic conditions have improved, and my colleagues have put the second child on the plan. Didn't expect it to happen so soon. I congratulate him from the bottom of my heart . Because his daughter-in-law is an advanced mother, giving birth to a second child is also a considerable risk. For this second daughter, he really sweated.

Colleagues also told me that if you want to have a second child, you should hurry up to give birth, and don’t wait until you are old to regenerate, as the risks for both the child and the pregnant woman are very high. To tell the truth, I also want to have another child, but the pressure is too great, it is not that I can give birth immediately if I want to. Think about it for two years.

Most Chinese people have the traditional concept of having more children and more grandchildren. The main constraints to having children are the pressure of real family, society and life. After giving birth, I have to raise it, when I grow up, I have to send it to study, and I also face the mortgage and car loan, all of which are very stressful. Although the country has now opened up to three children, few are willing to give birth or take the initiative to give birth in the face of such great pressure.

As the famous CCTV host Bai Yansong said: "The big problem now is not the lack of three and four children, but the background of late marriage and no marriage. There are many people who do not want to have one child. How can we talk about three and four children? It is more important to let go of the tire, or to build a more relaxed social environment so that people are willing to give birth.”

Bai Yansong is right. I believe that if the social environment becomes better and more relaxed, there will naturally be more and more families willing to have children. In addition to introducing policies, the country has to pave the way for the implementation of policies. I sincerely hope that the country can improve the current social pressure. At that time, I also wanted to have one or two more.
