In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents go out to work. While some say the children in these families benefit from the additional income, others feel they lack support because of their parents’ absence. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

A modern family has both parents working for up to 8 to 12 hours a day, with the children at school and with all the family members present at home for dinner. That being said, bonding among members is significantly reduced, which is only at night.

exchange is a well financed education of the children and a more comfortable life of each. It is true that with the rapid growth of economic expenses and the increase in the requirement and needs of offsprings, parents are forced to work long hours for them to provide their needs.

This

results to parents being tired and not being able to have enough

time

to interact at home. The remaining hours are spent for dinner, which is the only quality moment they have for each other and the rest is for sleep. People say that it is more important to spend more occasions with their children rather than to work.

This

is because children have the tendency to feel incomplete or abandoned, which could lead to problems in their behaviour towards themselves and towards other people. It could

also

affect the children's poor choice of peers that could become bad influences to them. Parents cannot control the
