    This made me cry. ! My little one goes to daycare as I have to work full time 9 -6. For the 9 hours a day putting him in a daycare , I always carry that guilt and burden on my heart for not being able to spend time with him. When I see him on camera in school, eating by himself, sleeping by himself, my heart just breaks. So now a days I don't try to see him on camera. One day when my manager complained about working from home due to covid and trying to suggest that having child at home may be interrupting, I told him that myt son goes in a daycare fulltime and guess what he said, I don't know. I am not there to check. That day I decided to not spend a single more minute at work. just do what they pay you for. they are not worth it. your kids deserve your time.

    To many 1st world viewers this might be heartbreaking but I grew up in a small Chinese city and this is actually heart warming. Not 10 years ago, parents who ventures into big cities can only speak to their left-behind kids in actual phone call, no video or 24h surveillance at all. China is "rich" overall but don't forget its population is more than EU, US, UK, AUS, and Japan combined. Still many many small cities and villages need to be developed so those parents can earn a decent salary locally.

    This is actually very common for those kids living in the rural areas in China. Their environment makes them growing up so independent coz they learn cooking, farming and raising their lil siblings and taking care of their grandparents to survive since they're so young. They can only meet their parents once a year. Be grateful when you have parents by your side coz it's a luxury for them.

      @आदि राजपूत It is not as easy as some of you think. Yes, the pay is higher in bigger cities, yet the living expenses are higher too (especially the housing). Chinese factories/companies usually provide accommodation to their workers, but something like a bed only (i.e., few workers sharing one room, each has their own bed with shared bathroom). As a result, it is impossible for these workers to bring along their families and shift to the place where they're working. They cannot afford the housing & living expenses there.
      In other words, they have to earn higher pay in bigger cities and raise their families with their wages in smaller cities that have lower housing & living expenses.

      daughters don’t always like their fathers most. some like their mothers more. some children like both parents equally but differently.

      She's not bored... She misses her parents dearly, I would say to the point of hurting. I have an almost 3-year-old and a 15-month-old toddler and they're both very attached to both me and their dad. It's an emotional need rather than "she's just bored".

    I relate to this child. Back when I was a small boi I always wander around. No friends just walking everywhere minding my own business. Sad but it's ok.
