Many parents today do not spend much time with their children. Why is this? Does this affect parents or children more?

The harsh reality of today’s world is that children do not get to spend enough

with their parents. In my opinion,

their basic needs and wants.

For example

, the prices of essential commodities like food and clothing have soared over the years. Homes have become costlier too.

Consequently

, to afford these basic necessities and to offer a good standard of living to their children,

both

parents are forced to

in many families.

As a result

, they fail to spend enough

time

with their children.

This

change has certainly had some detrimental effects on

both

parents and children. On the one hand, the holistic development of children depends on parents’ love and attention. Children learn family values, moral principles and discipline from their parents. If parents are away for extended hours, the character formation of children is often affected. Children

Consequently

, when parents spend more

, they feel abandoned.

This

affects the bonding they have with their parents and in my cases, it can even affect their ability to socialize. Of course,

this

development hurts the parents as well. Many of them feel guilty about leaving their children behind.

However

, unlike children, it is easier for parents to find solace in the excuse that they are working for the welfare of their children. Children,

on the other hand

, are too young to understand why
