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
time
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
work
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
also
need the presence of parents to feel safe and valued.
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

time
with their children because they are busy working for the better future of their children. While
