A highly contentious issue today relates to the fact that, in various modern families, both father and mother are working and are not giving their precious time to their teenagers. In this essay, I will discuss the reasons and problems.
First and foremost, in underdeveloped countries, it is significant for both parents to work in either different or the same sectors. Parents are pillars for their children; they play an equal role in raising their children. Spending some time with their children can make them aware of the world. Because both parents are working, the inflation rate in several countries is higher, making it more difficult for middle-class families to fulfill their basic needs or daily requirements, such as food, clothes, gifts, perfumes, cosmetic products, etc. This makes conditions worse for lower-class families. Variations in the inflation rate cause increases or decreases in the prices of various food items, as well as other necessities.
This can create several issues; for instance, it can distract children from their studies, leading them to roam around with friends or spend time in physical activities—cricket, football, hockey, tennis, etc.—but not learning useful skills in this modern era. This can also lead children to have low interest in sitting with their parents and discussing daily matters. For instance, in our neighborhood, the parents of a child often leave their child at home when heading to work; all day he used to cry a lot, making the child mentally ill. Then, one of the parents quit his or her job to look after their child.
In conclusion, I think that in underdeveloped countries it is significant for parents to work to provide their children with a better education from childhood. Whether you are working in a different or the same sector, always ensure to have duties at different times, so that one parent is at home to look after the children.
