<p class="ql-block"> The day before yesterday after supper, I had a talk with my son .</p><p class="ql-block"> I said that parents shouldn’t be overly protective during their children’s growth, or the children will become overly dependent on them. My son replied, “You only see other people's mistakes, but not your own.Take me for example, I can’t cook for myself now because you’ve always done everything for me,This made me not know how to cook.”</p><p class="ql-block"> He has a very busy job and his cold hadn’t completely improved . but I have nothing to do except listening to broadcasts and reading books. Besides, the weather has been too cold for me to travel. Instead, I stay at home and devote myself to taking care of him: I cook his meals, wash his clothes, and clean the room — in a word,I do everything for him. The other day he said to me, “Mama, You treat me like I treat my cat — like a pet.”</p><p class="ql-block"> It’s time for me to think seriously about this.</p>
