◆ Lifestyle (life, living, health)

During casual conversation after the service, I heard someone say, 'Oh, here we go again,' but I think there are some surefire words and actions that lead to parents being abandoned by their children.

Two surefire ways parents can be abandoned by their children

・How much do you think it cost to raise you? If you turn the love between parent and child into a financial calculation, then the trust between them will be blown away.

- People who don't want to cause trouble for their children and therefore skip rituals and ceremonial rites and ceremonies. If you teach them that birth, aging, sickness, death, and other turning points in life are troublesome, that's what happens.

Families that perform proper rituals, regardless of wealth, poverty, or size, are surrounded by their children and grandchildren, while those that do not are abandoned by their children.I'm not saying this because it's their livelihood, but it does feel like this is an answer to the movement that was popular among the baby boomer generation, and I think there is meaning in the fact that it has continued.
