How long can DINK continue to be childless?
www.chinanews.cn 2006-07-01 15:06:55
Chinanews, Beijing, June 30 - China's DINK class (Double Income No Kids)
began more than twenty years ago. Just when people are beginning to
acknowledge and accept the existence of DINK families, DINKs themselves
began to regret their choices and one can observe the phenomenon of
"post-35 childbearing"��DINK women after passing 35 realizing that if
they were to postpone having children they might never become mothers. Or
they realize that without children in their midst, their flat marital
life would drift towards isolated quietude and therefore they gave up
their DINK lifestyle.
Chunmei, 43 years old, is professional manager with a son 2 years and six
months old. She said she originally chose to be a DINK. When she
accidentally became pregnant and was told that she might never conceive
again if she chose to abort the fetus, she made the decision to have the
child.
Wen Yu, 41 years old, is free-lance writer with a two-year old daughter.
She said she chose DINK to begin with but realized her choice required
much courage because many people could not understand her decision and
were talking behind her back. After toughing it for eight years she could
not hold on and also realized if she persisted she would never have a
chance to choose to bring a new life to this world. She gave up and gave
in.
The emergence in China of the phenomenon of a return of DINK family to
tradition is caused by different psychological frame of mind induced by
different age groups. Accelerated societal competition made it easy for
people to feel hatred and anxiety, resulting in loss of psychological
balance. Only a triangular family model can form stability, can build a
platform to bear and neutralize these negative psychological feelings. A
healthy, complete and happy family is man's heaven and woman's Eden.
