This is how I understand this sentence. In China's traditional concept, sons are the continuation of family blood. In the past, a son had to support his family and could not be pampered. He should be made to understand a man's responsibility from an early age, know that life is not easy, and only when he grows up can he keep his family business.
If you indulge your son blindly and don't want him to suffer a little, you think it is good for him, but it is actually a bad thing. Because you pamper yourself and don't understand human sufferings, you won't understand that it's not easy for your family to fight for a family business, and you won't know your responsibilities and the meaning of struggle when you grow up.
Every parent has high expectations for boys, so it is natural to pay more attention to education, but we should not blindly indulge him, let him get in touch earlier and establish a sound thinking system earlier, so it is reasonable to "raise children in poverty" and it is easier to succeed.
For girls, parents are more concerned about love, saying that women are made of water. So delicate and natural, take good care of her and don't let her get a little hurt. We always want to give her the best, and hope that she will be worry-free all her life.
"Raising a daughter" is to let her know more about the outside world. Only by fully understanding what the outside world is like can we avoid being tempted by this world after leaving her parents. Everyone has a curious heart. Sometimes, the more you don't let her know, the more curious she is. It is better to let her know earlier, so that when she really faces the world, she has lost her curiosity and can avoid being hurt.
In addition, girls need to be loved in the palm of their hands. For a father, their daughter is a sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Generally, fathers who have daughters love their daughters very much, and they are afraid of falling into their mouths when they hold them in their hands, so it is normal for girls to spoil them.
My brother was pampered by menstruation since he was a child, because in rural areas, menstruation's thought is that he can give his son the best, and he can never give him the second best. Therefore, when he was very young, his brother was extremely well-fed, but menstruation forgot that if a boy thought that all good things were readily available at an early age, where would he know the difficulties and hardships of making money? As a result, his younger brother, who is now in his twenties, still spends a lot of money.
Poor support does not mean harsh treatment, and rich support does not mean doting. Poor support is a boy's firm character and independent personality, while rich support is a broad vision and rich knowledge.
