 to spend with family and why it will have a negative impact on their
children
 in the future.
While

Children
 need to spend
time
 with their
parents
 in order to have a happy and healthy childhood. Mannerisms and values stem from
parents
, and if young
people
 grow up in an empty household,
this
 will greatly affect the way they perceive and approach relationships with others as an adult. In short, they will lead difficult lives emotionally,
in contrast
 to what their
parents
 hoped for. In conclusion,
although
 it is necessary for
people
 to
work
 and provide for their families,
parents
 ought to dedicate
time
 towards their
children
. If they fail to ensure quality
time
,
children
 may grow up with a poor attitude and that will cause them to suffer in social settings.
