In 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 parent's absence. Discussion

In modern times, both

parents

are employed in most families. While some people believe that the

children

in these families benefit from the larger income, others argue that they lack support without their fathers and mothers.

This

essay discusses both aspects of

this

matter. On one hand, a child enjoys several benefits from increased family finances, a direct result of his/her mother and father working.

For instance

,

parents

will send their kids to better educational institutions leading to better education.

Moreover

, a family is able to go on fancy trips during holidays resulting in a wide range of experiences and pleasure for its members.

Children

can

also

get more toys to play with and may even receive electronic devices

such

as mobile phones for their education and entertainment. The higher their family income, the more resources the

children

receive.

On the other hand

, a child will face some drawbacks as his/her

parents

spend less time with him/her. Many

children

, whose

parents

are employed, feel abandoned and unloved leaving them more vulnerable to manipulation by paedophiles. There have been many instances where

such

children

have been exploited.

In addition

, these kids may act out in an attempt to get their parent's attention.

For example

, they may bully others, get into fights or perform poorly at school. The busier the

parents

become, the more abandoned a child feels. To conclude,

although

many families find it necessary for both

parents

to go out to work, they should make sure that their

children

feel supported and loved to ensure their mental and emotional well-being.
