Band 5.5

The responsibility of bringing up children should be shared equally between mother and father. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#responsibility #children #mother #father
The phenomenon of sharing the same duty of taking care of
children
 with
parents
 has aroused wide concern among various circles. Divergent as people's views on
this
 issue in question may be, I totally agree that raising a
kid
 should not be
one
 side's responsibility. Of all the reasons why the liability of bringing up
children
 should be shared equals
parents
, probably the most significant
one
 is that most
parents
 in Hong Kong have to
work
 to afford the basic expenditure of life.If only
one
 goes to
work
, and another
one
 just takes care of the
children
, they may be not able to raise the child and rent the house at the same
time
. So,
both
parents
 must go to
work
 to maintain their quality of life.
However
,
this
 in turn reduces their
time
 bringing up the
children
. If they can share the responsibility to take care of their
kid
, they may able to find the balance point between
work
 and raising a
kid
. Another reason that should not be overlooked is that
children
 can learn from
both
parents
' strengths. Without a mother or father, it is bad for the
children
's development.
For instance
, there are investigations conducted in Hong Kong, those
children
 who grew up with single
parents
 are not good at communicating with others, and most of them are more negative than others who raise with
both
parents
.
As a result
,
parents
 should manage their
time
 to make sure they
both
 have
time
 to spend with their
children
 and pass on their knowledge or experience to their kids. Under
this
 link of thinking, it seems to me that shared the duty of parenting is more beneficial to the
kid
, and avoids the negative effect of a single parent on the
children
.
