Male Female

It's a sad reality that many parents in my country are working. Both parents often have to work because the cost of living is so high. One income just isn't enough anymore. So, many parents rely on nannies or house helpers to care for their children. This means they don't spend much time with their kids. Most of the time, children are left to their own devices, especially during school breaks or holidays. They often spend their time in front of screens. It's rare for them to spend more than two hours with their parents. By the time parents get home from work, their children are already asleep. And the parents are usually exhausted. It's a sad situation, but it's the reality in our country right now.
