A subscriber asked me: He is still in the growth phase, but his parents say he should get married and have children quickly, and they say they will take care of them. He feels it's inappropriate.


My analysis is to look at this from several angles:
1. From the child's perspective (most important)
What children really need are three things: stable companionship, continuous education (parents' cognition), and long-term resource support. This determines their future sense of security and growth ceiling. Having a child is not about 'whether there is someone to help take care of them', but whether this growth system can operate stably in the long term.
2. From your perspective (secondary)
You are currently in a clear phase of exploration and growth: unstable job, little savings, and many things you want to do that are not yet completed. The characteristics of this stage are 'high change, high risk, unstable path'. If you enter parenting at this time, it is essentially turning a highly uncertain system into a rigid long-term system, and it will also compress my trial-and-error space and growth space.
3. From the perspective of parental support (least important)
Grandparents can indeed provide some care and help, but it is more of a 'buffer' rather than a 'system takeover'. The core parts such as educational philosophy, long-term companionship, and growth decisions ultimately still mainly depend on the parents themselves.
Therefore, a more reasonable state now is to first stabilize personal income, career path, and family structure, let the system enter a 'sustainable state', and then consider children. This will be more responsible and realistic.
