When you blame someone or something for your unhappiness, you are displaying a lack of personal accountability and ownership over your emotions. It may prevent you from taking steps to address the root cause of your unhappiness and hinder your ability to find solutions or make improvements.

Why do some people blame others?

Mature people will own up to their mistakes and apologize if it is a necessity whereas some people would rather blame others because they honestly believe it is not their fault and cannot balance bad behavior from good behavior. It takes a mature and well adjusted person to admit they are wrong and not blame other people. People who blame others can't face reality; they could be narcissistic in nature and are always right. However, these types of people are seldom happy within themselves and inwardly have no peace inside of themselves knowing they can be wrong; blame others when they shouldn't but don't know how to deal with it.

Why are ladies always blamed?

It comes from old gender roles. Women are historically subservient and therefore, in addition to their other duties, they take blame for men. The payoff for this can vary. Some women take blame and suffer for it. Other women take blame for men who later make it up to them in other ways (appreciation, attention, leniency, cash, favors, et cetera).This is something women do not appreciate, taking blame. And they should not ever be required to. But it can be used to one's advantage, and as a result many women do so... thereby perpetuating this gender role.

Why are children should be blame for their misbehaviour?

Often children know when they do something wrong but they try to push the borders and therefor they are to blame. If you blame someone else they learn they can get away with anything and that is not a good life lesson. That way they will blame others as well when they do something wrong. That way you don't learn responsibility for your own actions. We can see that in adults sometimes.
