stocking your own sister

American family education has always been based on "stocking style". In this movie, the protagonist's parents finally got a magical child. Because it's hard to come by, they just want to take care of their children. It is also under the banner of loving children, like Chinese parents.

This movie reminds me of myself, of myself and my sisters.

There are five children in the family, and I am the eldest. Parents can't control these bone dragons if they don't have time. Naturally, I became the eldest of the four of them, and only I could hold them down. My Hedong roar and white eyeballs are awesome.


In learning, I manage them the most. Since high school, every time I come home and see them watching TV and playing, I will yell at them to read and study. If they resisted a little bit, I would stare at my pair of copper bell eyes with full force and growl: "I told you to study, hear - see - did - did not - have?!" After shouting, angry He couldn't breathe, his voice was hoarse. Under my tyranny, my relationship with my sisters was very poor, in dire straits, and usually had nothing in common. They see me like a mouse sees a cat. Even so, at that time, I still felt that I was right, thinking that I was doing it for their own good, and they would know later. Our sisters have been getting along in this pattern until last month. I'm slowly starting to realize.

For the last month, I've been mostly at home. One day, I saw my sister's QQ in high school lit up. At that time, it was time for class. When she came back, I cracked up and started the interrogation. Although she explained that her classmates helped her, I didn't buy her account. Moreover, it is expressly forbidden, and it is not allowed to go to Q in the future. Later, because of other things, I had a big fight with her. In a fit of rage, he didn't even want to stay in the same room with her. Immediately run to find cousin.

Cousin, who is currently in the third year of high school at home. He has been kept under control by his family. After class, you must return home within the specified time, and are not allowed to go to classmates or go out. One by one, she was imprisoned at home.

During the chat with her, she also clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with her family. She reminded me not to be too strict. They all have their own thoughts, I just need to remind my sister properly so that my sister doesn't get too addicted.
With that sentence, I began to reflect on what I had done. I really look like those tiger sisters and wolf sisters on TV. It was so scary that I didn't realize I was the same kind of person.

They also have their own thoughts and lives. I can't live their life for them. The best is free-range education.
