Children Preferred Parents To Go Out And Earn

Some children had been changing in thinking about their situation. They preferred parents to go to work and earn money for the family. What makes them think like this? Perhaps most parents are always out of the picture in the family because of business. Is this the great impact of earning money in neglecting the importance of the family? In my own opinion, I think we cannot blame some children to think such way. Since some parents are too busy and forget to have quality time with the family. It is better to balance life between work and family. What makes the children change of preference, in your opinion?

all that is becose of parents and yet the system is main to be blamed..if they dont work they dont have to eat and on the other side they need to let schools and other institution to teach theres children what is good for them and what is not...im sorry for my bad english but i need to continiue :) ... when our children become older it is to late they are alredy in system and parents start panic too late :) thats only 1 of the many reasons why children start acting like that...

If the child is now an adult they should be making their own way in this world not always relying on their parents or others.

@Shavkat I don't believe parents should have to take care of adult children if they are capable of working.

I do agree on that. If they are grown up, they should be more responsible in the society.

@Marcyaz I agree. Adult children should know how to stand for themselves. It is ashamed for them to still be dependent on their parents.

In fact I tend to think that most children hope their parents can spend some time with them rather than working. They may not realize why it is important for the parents to work outside. In the children's mind they hope they can be with their parents. Of course it will be different if the parents don't have good relationship with their children.

@youless I heard most people in the city of China that parents are too busy. However, they still spend more time with their children on weekends.

@Shavkat Yes, parents are busy but today actually many parents pay attention to their children, too. They don't mind spending a lot of money for their children. Chinese parents are quite sacrificing.

@youless I do agree on that. They work hard especially for the education of their children. I heard it costs an arm and a leg.

I think you are right, the parents are not at home anyway and if they are at home they have no time for their children. This is the reason why the children now prefer to see their parents go out and work for money.

It would not be healthy for the family. Parents have to consider this thing since a child cannot have good memories. In time, this child will say my childhood years are not desirable to remember.

@Shavkat I know, because they will have no memories with their mothers, sitting around the table to have breakfast and lunch together. Those are precious memories.

Do you mean children want their parents to go to work? In Australia this is about the norm.

I mean, some children prefer their parents working all the time and no need to spend time with them. It is like they don't care if the parents are aroun the house or not. They got used to it. There is no family time.

@JudyEv I had known some people who had this situation. They tend to be rebellious against their parents. Now, they are living in misery despite the richness of the family.

@Shavkat Oh, I understand now. And I'm sure that happens in some families but it seems a great shame to me if children feel like this.

Yeah....this is the main reason of poor relations and understanding among parents and children. They don't have time to know each other.

I do think open communication in the family should be practiced. I am sure children will understand the situation.

I guess for some kids, all they know is their parents out of the picture and at work. It's what they know, and that may be why they prefer their parents to work. But honestly, I think a balance is important. I can understand parents need to work, but they should remember the importance of family and spending time together.

No , my daughter while growing up as a kid doesn't like me working at all , but to be with her always . But as to her father he is resigned to the idea that it's the father who has to earn for our living . And now that she's grown up , she wants me to retire already when it is due and so with her father . Well , if we will reach retirement age , why not ?

I think upto the point where they go out and try to earn on their own, they expect that to happen.

I think the kids know that the parents will be able to provide their needs and wants if their parents will go to work.

kids think they doing that for thier own good but there is an disadvatage for being too busy with thier work they don't think that thier kids wants thier attention especially when there is a school program and they need to bring thier parents what is the reaction of thier kids?they have to balance everything the father will go to work and the mother should stay in the house so that if thier kids need something somebody will take care of it and the kids won't dissapoint

You mean some children do not want their parents always at home? It is a negative one, because it looks like they do not want to be supervised by them so they can do whatever they wanted.Parents can work outside the home, but they should find time to talk with their children on how they are doing with their studies, etc.

Some children prefer their parents out to work because they never see their parents at home. Thus, there is no family bonding at all.

It's really sad that some children don't get much time with their parents. I'm so grateful I grew up in a close household with two teachers for parents.

Actually, it is the other way around. Parents are not always there with their children.

Yes, sorry, that is what I meant. As in, the parents don't make time for their children, so the children don't get to be with their parents.
