The Influence of Older Childbearing on the Relationship between Parents and Children

With the development of society and the progress of medical technology, more and more couples choose to give birth at an advanced age. However, the elderly childbearing not only brings a series of physical and mental challenges to the couple themselves, but also has a certain impact on the relationship between parents and children. This article will elaborate the impact from four aspects: psychological pressure, health risk, family burden and generation gap.

Psychological pressure

The elderly childbearing may bring great psychological pressure to both husband and wife. First, they may face changes in their intimate relationship. Because fertility problems may occupy most of the time and attention, the feelings between couples may be greatly tested. In addition, the elderly pregnancy of women, especially after menopause, may lead to emotional fluctuations, anxiety and increased stress. Men tend to feel a heavy responsibility and time pressure, and these factors may have a negative impact on the mental health of couples.

In addition to the relationship between husband and wife, the elderly childbearing will also affect the relationship between parents and children. Parents may experience physical discomfort and psychological imbalance in the process of raising children. They may need more sleep and rest time to accommodate lower tolerance and more frequent medical examinations. This discomfort may affect the normal care and close contact of parents for their children, resulting in estrangement between the two sides.

Impact of material problems

Health risks

The elderly childbearing has brought many health risks, which has a potential impact on the health of both spouses and their future children. There is a high risk of complications during pregnancy, prenatal problems of newborns and intellectual development of children. Women may have more health problems after menopause, including cardiovascular disease, pregnancy induced hypertension and diabetes. The quality and quantity of male sperm may decline with age, which will also have potential negative effects on the genetic impact of children.

Increase of family burden

Family burden

After giving birth at an advanced age, parents' economic and time burden will increase significantly. They may need to provide better medical, health care and education resources for their children, which will lead to an increase in the family's financial burden. At the same time, because they are older, they often need more time and energy to take care of and support their children. This may mean that they must give up other personal, professional or social activities, thus increasing the burden and pressure on the family.

The emergence of generation gap

Generation gap

Older childbearing may lead to generation gap. The older couple and the greater difference between them and their children may mean that there is more generation gap between them and their children. Different growth environments, music tastes, entertainment methods and values may lead to communication barriers and understanding barriers between husband and wife and children. This may have a negative impact on parent-child relationship and family atmosphere.

summary

To sum up, the elderly childbearing has a certain impact on the relationship between parents and children. It will not only bring psychological pressure to both husband and wife, increase health risks, but also increase the family's economic and time burden, and may lead to generation gap. Therefore, for couples who are ready to give birth at an advanced age, they need to fully consider and prepare to deal with potential challenges and problems.
