To survive in the present world and to bring up your children best its has become very essential for both parents to work..It totally depends on how we bring up the children, we should try spending the time we get with our kids.i have seen family of both parents working where children grow more independent and confident.

well it depends from family to family. Ofcourse if someone stays home its better. Everyone likes to do that but in todays world we need to see that 2 incomes are necessary and also sometimes the mom is carreer oriented so she would also want to continue becuase as kids grow they do things on their own and later its the mom who feels lonely and bored without work. So its based on perspective and every family must decide what is better. If there is help at home then both can work. A relative or a baby sitter is also ok. I dont think that children with both parents working do bad or get into wrong things. Also they respct their parents as they grow up and relaise that they are not abandoned but it was a necessity. Parents produce babies beacuse they love them and just becasue they work doesnt mean they do not love them.

This is a very controversial and personal decision and to each family, their own. Many parents go to work coz they need more money for their children and you cant deny that in today’s world kids are exposed to more and more commercial satisfaction and its also a case of ego in the classroom if your child is not equipped with most of what the other children in the class have. It is always not feasible for a single parent to earn so much so as to satisfy most of their demands and then save for the rainy day. Also its no use teaching children the values of simple living high thinking…kids just don’t accept these nowadays. So many families work together to augment the family income and give a better life to their children. They manage with domestic help, grandparents or day-care centers for the children and if such children are exposed to working parents from childhood itself, they learn and accept it as a norm of life and are OK with the situation. Such children may lack in quality interactions with their parents, but they grow up more independent and have more respect for their mother, if they see their mother working and earning just like the father. Many mothers stay at home too and look after their children and such children are indeed privileged in other ways, like they have the best care in the world all the time. They also grow up surrounded by more love and time from the mother. But as I said, both situations have their own pros and cons and its best for the particular family to decide according to the situation.

There is nothing wrong with both parents working after all every home needs money and if both are working there will be alot more of it. The parents see the children, and spend time with them either after work or on the days off. The children get attention, you don't need to be with your children 24/7 for them to be happy, and children with 2 working parents are happy to have the money to buy things or go places. Without money you can't buy or go places so the children are going to be stuck sitting at home bored.

I asked few years ago to some friends that had experience of being a children from working parents. They said even they had somebody to watch and baby sit them every day, they felt very lonely since they only could see the parents in the night for a few hours, and in the weekend. i don't have a feeling like that since my mother were not working when we were small kids.
