Today, it has become more constantly common to see two-paycheck families than in the past. The essay will discuss the main reasons for
this
 and the problems bring. The main reason for
this
 is that families who work in urban cities have an issue because of unavoidable long working hours. Some families rely on two incomes for financial stabilities so they can provide for their children. Even though children get the most benefits,
this
 means parents spend less
time
 with them.
As a result
, parents do not have
time
 available to look after their children, which ends up with more problems. One of the significant problems is that the child feels abandoned since parents focus too much on their work and sometimes they might forget to correct children's conduct or give parental guidance.

Therefore, some
ren are running wild and often play truant from school, which results in family arguments, along with a distance in their relationship. Another problem which might occur in modern families is when children have some urgent issues, they are not helped by parents immediately. The fact that parents are not able to take a day off, even though their child is sick has an impact on children's emotions, which results in their feeling isolated. In conclusion, parents who both have jobs do not have enough
time
 to revolve around their children.
This
 is because they spend the majority of
time
 working, which causes many problems,
such
 as the fact that some children cannot receive support from parents.
