[quote=SUNNYDREAM,455841]A Chinese saying on raising children has become very popular among the young Chinese parents who were born in 1980s, that is “穷养儿子富养女 (Boys to be raised austerely, and girls to be raised indulgently”.

Those who favor this saying claim that boys can become mature, successful and excellent after getting through hardships and difficulties. Raising boys austerely make them firmly believe that everything they have obtained or achieved has a price. Only have you been through hard work, you will have harvested the “fruits”.

Compared with boys, girls should be raised indulgently. The young parents believe that they should give the best to their girls including beautiful dresses, shoes, quality cosmetics and other things she desires of. On the other hand, the parents should do what they can to meet their girls’ requirements. Why? Giving the best to the girls when she is young makes sure that she won’t be seduced or depraved because of these things when she becomes an adult.

A Chinese father in Wuhan spent 30000 yuan (his yearly bonus) for his little girl during the Spring Festival. He bought beautiful dress, shoes and ipad 2 for her daughter and brought her to travel in Sanya during the Spring Festival. The total cost was almost 30000 yuan.

This guy did everything for his daughter. At home, he knelt down to speak to his daughter. Once upon a time, he went to buy eight kinds of Haagen-Dazs icecream for her little daughter. He indulged her daughter like a princess because he wanted her daughter feel superior and wouldn’t be seduced or cheated by men when she became an adult.

Will you do these crazy things to please your daughter? Personally, I would not spoil her in this way if I had a daughter.
