The Conflict and Cooperation of Intergenerational Care—Based on the Content Analysis of the Parenting Module of Small Wood Worm Discussion Forum
-
摘要: 在个体化背景下,由于儿童照顾需要耗费大量的时间和精力,必然导致照顾者选择“为自己而活”能力的下降。通过对“小木虫”论坛育儿版块的内容分析,文章发现在儿童照顾中,年轻的专业技术人员及其父代都有“为自己而活”的愿望,但其实现既要受到资源制约,也都要受到儒家文化的制约。具体而言,如果“子女片面为自己而活”“老人片面为自己而活”或“为儿童而活的方式有所歧异”,就会造成隔代照料中的代际冲突。但如果子代和父代都能从“为自己而活”转向“为我们而活”,就可能形成良好的代际合作关系。这种转向可能建基于“血浓于水”的情感,也可能基于育儿与养老互惠的预期,还可能只是扩展家庭缺乏足够育儿资源下的“情不得已”。因为育儿责任的承担也是一种生活政治,家庭以外主体责任承担不足,必然挤压家庭成员生活方式选择的空间,所以国家和社会应该更多地分担儿童照顾责任,以减轻家庭成员的育儿重负,提高其选择更加丰富多彩生活的能力,促进家庭和谐发展。Abstract: In the context of individualization, as child care requires a lot of time and energy, it inevitably leads to the reduction of caregivers' ability to "live for themselves".Through the content analysis of the parenting module of the Small Wood Worm discussion forum, the research finds that for the professional and technical personnel just starting work not long ago, they and their father generation both have the desire to "live for themselves", but its realization is limited by both resources and Confucian culture.If "children generation live unilaterally for themselves", "old people live unilaterally for themselves" or"they use different ways to live for children" while sharing child-rearing responsibilities,there will be intergenerational conflicts inevitably.If children generation and parents can change from "living for themselves" to "living for us", a good intergenerational relationship can be estalished.This "living for us" shift may be based on an emotional foundation that "blood is thicker than water", the expectation of reciprocity between child-rearing and the elderly supporting afterwards, or just on account of not having adequate child-rearing resources.As the responsibility of parenting is also a kind of life politics, and the insufficient responsibility taking of subjects outside the family will inevitably squeeze the space for family members to choose their lifestyle,the state and other social subjects should share more burden of child care, thus reducing the burden of family members, to increase their capacity to choose more colorful life style and promote family development.
