My mother normally claim that during their time brother & sister were more closer then today’s brother & sister. But she is not ready to accept the fault from their parents. She agree that is more importance given to male kids its discrimination against female kids, but she deny the opposite.
Whenever I ask myself, if my kids are not same for me because of their different gender ? Does not matter how many times I ask answer is always no. I believe when anyone ask himself the same question, the honest answer will be same as I get.
They how we can believe that our parents or grand-parents were not in love with their kids ? Answer is always same, they can not be. But unfortunately we are blind enough to believe a theory given by someone. The reason I believe is society see drastic change during last 60+ years. It is not first time, society always change. Normally society change in centuries (few generation), and the slow change allow society to accommodate easily.
But this time changes were too fast, rather I would say the changes were applied too fast.
The changes were not natural but communication rise a lot during last 50 year. Inspired from other (outer societies) society (without looking into own requirements) govt & media applied norms of those alien societies into our society by law as well as by media.
Therefore within one generation the society changed completely. The change which should be slow and steady has been done in very short time and result we see two generation behaving like two different poles of magnet. Probably that’s why our generation believe their past generation was discriminating kids. But actually they are doing this but in reverse. They just want to prove that we love female kids, and they are creating a society where female kids gets all the attention and male kids ignored completly, and still this generation claim them self to be more intelligent.
What a blind society we are living in.
