While I am in China, I hear lots of talks about Chinese parents amassing wealth for their children, in the form of house and money. To be true, it is a very primitive type of love that parents naturally demonstrate for their offsprings, very much similar to that shown in a mother bird when she builds a nest for her fragile eggs and baby birds before they can fly on their own.

Guess what? Human parents are a lot smarter and powerful than birdie parents. Human parents can build nests that covers way beyond the point of their childhood, intending to shelter all the way to children’s whole adulthood, rendering them incapable of living on their own, forever. Human parents are expert in bringing out dependent adult children. So loving, caring and dedicated! That is, if both parents and children are happy with this arrangements. Let us hope parents can live as long as or longer than their children.

For me, I still follow the primitive love of the birdie mom and let my youngsters stay in their first nest only before they are strong enough to fly on their own but let them out when they become independent adults. Absolutely no baby nest beyond their childhood. Cruel love!
