, these days. In my opinion, the financial burden on
parents
 in order to provide high standards of living to their beloved
children
 is the main reason.
This
 would obviously lead to a negative impact on their
children
. Nowadays, every couple feels compulsory to earn individually to meet all the basic requisites of their budding
children
. As the inflation rates have skyrocketed,
thus
, they have to work harder to fulfil the necessities.
For example
, essential commodities like food, clothing and houses have become costlier. In order to allocate all the amenities to their
children
,
parents
 are forced to work and stay away from the offspring due to which, they fail to spend enough time with their
children
.
This
 change has certainly detrimental effects on their

Children
 feel secure in the presence of their

. They feel guilty for leaving their
children
 behind and not upbringing them properly.
However
, they find solace in the excuse that they are working for the welfare of their

. In conclusion,
parents
 are busy enough for their

. In my opine,
children
 are worst affected since they need their
parents
 the most at
this
 stage.
