working parents

There are alot of options for parents but are there really ones that a parents should take. Parents can find time with their children if he/she wants. I grow up with a working father and a mother who is always crocheting to make two ends meet. She will crochet in the nights and do days work in the day. You see my father would leave for work as early as 5a.m. because of the transportation system and comes home 7p.m. but on sundays there are times for the family. Every sunday we will sit down after dinner and play ludo, scramble and draft etc. These games help us to have a bond. Whether or not daddy's is stealing a game or mama is doing her crocheting. We are there as a family. Parents have to find the time to spent with their children. No one will allocate that time for them. I grow up with teachers giving me guidance because there were things my mother does not know and there are things my father will not discuss because he say that it is the mother job. So I will go to my teacher's the one that I love and sit down and talk with her and she will in turn tell me things if there are things that she does not know then she will steer me to a book. In time like this teachers such as these are hard to find. My dear friend don't be disheartened you have to make the time for you and the children. After church if they attend you give them their dinner. After eating you let them know that it is family time. Even for one hour. Let them know that during this time everything that is bothering them can be discuss. You in turn have to has the tolerance to listen and not judge. Be there as a counsellor, parents and friend. Try and see if it will work. All the best Kerry
