▶ Your Answer :
These days, as society became
competitive, children education is rising to the surface. Some might argue that
parents should take care of their children because it is their duty. I,
however, firmly believe that children’s brothers or sisters should take care of
their younger siblings for two reasons: parents have become busy and brothers
or sisters can have better understanding to their younger siblings.
To
begin with, parents today do not have much time to look after their children
working in order to earn money for their living. Actually, parents today are
able to both work as there are more chances to women to work compared to the
past. Back to my childhood, my parents both worked so there was not enough time
for me to spend time with them. Naturally, they asked my older sister to take
care of me when they go to their workplace. Every time when I come back from
school or an educational institute, my sister waited me in front of the
apartment complex and took me home. Moreover, she showed me educational sources
or animation films from the Internet and, at the same time, she also spent time
doing her assignment. As a result, there was no minus to anyone.
On
top of that, brothers or sisters can empathize on their younger siblings better
than their parents. It is undeniable fact that parents have generation gap with
their children. However, since it has been only few years that older siblings
have experienced their younger brothers or sisters’ situation, they can
understand their mind and give better solution. As I mentioned above, I spent
most of my childhood with my older sister. When birthday comes, my parents have
been always asking what gift I want to get among the list, academic books, desk
to study, or dictionary. However, my sister usually bought me the stickers of
my favorite animation characters. Also, when my parents scolded me because of
petting off the homework, she soothed me and told me that she understands me.
In this sense, what is better, care by the parents or older siblings?
To
conclude, brothers or sisters should take care of their younger siblings. The
argument rests on two reasons-one is parents lacking of time, the other is gap
being wider between parents and their young children.
