n today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both parents to 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. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In today's modern society expenses have increased exponentially, and to meet these needs
both
parents
should engage themselves in work.
However
, some believe that it would help in their child's education, while others argue that
this
could be detrimental, because of the lack of emotional support a child requires.
This
is a debatable topic, and In
this
essay, I will put forward my views with a reasonable explanation. The amount to be spent to satisfy our demands have increased significantly in the
last
decade. I still remember that when I was a child, my school's fee was just around 1000 rupees a year, but now it has almost increased by hundred of times
that is
1 lakh a year. It is obvious that now to fulfil these targets, the gross income of a family has to be improved, and I believe that
this
can be achieved only if
both
parents
are at work.
For example
, my uncle who has 2 kids, and who is the only family earner, because of low income, he was not able to send one of his kid to the school. But, when his wife
also
started working, they were successful in sending
both
of them to the institutes.
On the other hand
, children lack the emotional support they need if
both
their mother and father are working. There are few needs that cannot be fulfilled just by sending them to schools,
such
as family bonding and good family dynamics.
Furthermore
, It is seen that
parents
who do not spend enough time with their kids had behavioural problems
such
as, anger management.
For instance
, my neighbours who have 2 offspring,
both
parents
leave at 7 in the morning and come back at 8pm, and I can clearly visualise those poor toddlers, that how emotionally deprived they are.
Finally
,
although
wife and husband should play their own role to complete their needs of a family, I
also
believe that they should spend sufficient time with their youngsters to support them emotionally.
