Indian Parenting Psychologist: The term "king son" is often used affectionately in Indian homes, but according to psychologists, this isn't love, but rather a serious problem. A video by psychologist Snowy Rahi is rapidly going viral on social media, in which he exposes this so-called "king son syndrome" and explains how this upbringing is making children (especially sons) incapable of the future.

What is "king son syndrome"?

According to experts, it is not a medical illness, but a behavioral condition. It arises when parents raise their son without any responsibility. He is not allowed to help with household chores, and every mistake is excused as "childishness."

What does the psychologist have to say?

"The king son syndrome isn't a sweet term. It's the result of parenting where we never let our child move a finger. We gave him comforts, but not responsibility."

In the video, psychologist Rahi recounted a real-life incident where she visited a family where their adult son (with a beard and moustache) was lying on the couch. He didn't greet anyone or move from his spot, but instead displayed a "premium bad attitude." When his mother lovingly kissed his head, his response was, "Hey, Mom, let me play games." This behavior shows how excessive pampering has completely disconnected him from respect for others and his responsibilities.

After Marriage, the Wife Takes the Hit
According to reports, this syndrome has the worst impact on the man's future partner or wife. Even as adults, such men remain dependent on others for their smallest needs. Experts say that when the wife is busy cooking, managing the house, and fixing things, the 'king' son shrugs off the responsibility, saying, "I don't know how to do all this, you do it." He doesn't do the work because he's incapable, but because he was never expected to learn anything.

Internet Debate
This video has sparked a huge discussion on social media. People are sharing their experiences. One user wrote, "My brother was raised in the same way." Another user shared a shocking example of a working man living in the city, bringing home a suitcase of his dirty clothes every 15 days to have his mother wash them.

Another comment stated that parents often over-pay their sons to fill the void in their married life, which later leads to jealousy towards their daughter-in-law.

A balance between love and responsibility is essential.
Psychologists say that raising a child with love is a good thing, but raising them without responsibility is like placing the burden of parenting on the shoulders of their future partner. Learning to take responsibility is essential to becoming a capable adult.
