How Dual-Earner Marriages Affect the Children

What do parents who work outside the home to ensure their children receive the time and attention they need? Dual-earner marriages are mostly an issue because parents work full time or have a part-time job that involves a large number of hours. Parents find a daycare for their children because they can not attend based on their time and working hours. This new trend of day-care is becoming more popular and parents don no realize that children are not satisfied with these facilities. However, finding time to participate with children must be a solution that many marriages face in society.

Income (SL-1) has become a priority for many couples worldwide. More and more young couples spend a lot time at work and they affect their children because their absence at home. Many parents put their children at the daycare without realizing they really need affection from their parents. Yet, other couples try to participate in their children’s activities. For example, during the first five years of a kid life, many mothers stay at home to ensure that their children are receiving the affect and attention they need. This implies (SL-3) that one parent works while the other takes care of the child. While, on the other hand, fathers can work and make sure to pay all bills. After this important stage in our children, both parents work outside home without interrupting the participation in our children activities such as, school or games. Another example is that couples work together when they allocate time. These solutions have a strong impact on our children since they really deserve to have someone at home who they can play, talk and learn manners that will be useful once they go to school.
