なんちゃって英語・英会話コミュのA rice crop

One young lady came to my medical clinic.
Her mother came together, and they came into
my examination room. The young lady was nineteen
years old, and she was a college student.

She had a high fever and a cough.
I said,“It is better that you are put on a drip
of antibiotics.”
Then she shouted,“I hate to be put on a drip!”
She was a college student!

And then her mother said,“Her appetite is now good,
and so a drip is not necessary.”
Is this mother a doctor?
I said,“It is a drip of antibiotics, not for nutrition”

This young lady is a child, and her mother has permitted
that her daughter is wayward.
It's said that children grow, and they always watch the back
of their parents.

Japanese parents tend to take care of their children
excessively. All members of a family are the labor force
in a rice crop.
It's a Japanese tradition, and maybe it's a same thing
in other Asian countries.

Of course now many Japanese people live in cities, and
they have each families. But I think that many Japanese
people even now have the tradition of a rice crop
in their mind, that is, parents and children depend on
each other.

It's not so bad thing, but children will be adults someday,
and parents should not disturb their children's growth.
