I am mother of two kids.I love to spend time with my kids.It is the time when they need us.They need our help to while eating,changing clothes,getting ready for school.At this age they want to talk to us.I give them my all time.usually I do all house hold chores,when they are not around.Once they come back to home I spend time with them.I think that a lot of parents become too involved in their own business that they forget that their children are BEGGING for their attention.Some they work harder and harder trying to make more money thinking that it will solve problems in their lives.
The sad thing is, they don’t realize that their kids wouldn’t really care about living in a fabulous house if it meant they could have the security of having their parents be a part of their lives.For others, they are the product of either very young parents or unwed parents and they didn’t have parents around so that is all they know.And there are others that think it’s ok for the government, schools or anyone else to raise them. In fact they think it is the RESPONSIBILITY of others to raise their children. As someone else has already pointed out, it this type of thinking that leaves kids to their own devices and when things go wrong or their kids get in trouble,hurt or hurt someone else, these parents are the ones that first wonder what went wrong with their kids and then start looking for someone else to blame for it.Because the priority is not their kids or they are just lazy. some parents think that it’s normal because they were brought up the same way too.Thinking watching tv with kids can be considered as quality time. spending time with their kids becomes a “thing to do”. if they really want to, they will be at least talking to them everyday, listening to their stories, knowing what’s new in school, friends etc. some parents think that just by spending an hour with their kids is enough, some parents misunderstood what quality time is all about. they don’t realize that what is more important is to be there during hard times,being with their kids when learning new things, etc. On the other hand, kids need to understand that in order to survive, parents must work.life can be hectic for our parents but i still believe that if they really want to, they will find a way to spend time with their kids every week because time spent together is priceless and it also has something to do with how kids will grow as an individual. it’s all about balancing life and time management.

I blame it on the society we are in right now. Even when parents claim to spend quality time with kids everyone is busy with their gadgets, ranging from iphones, to ipads etc. The love of money as you have rightly said is a big issue. We chase after money for these kids and neglect them. We have had cases of maids taking care of our kids, that most kids never want to be in the company of their parents. Well, my household is so different, I spend as much time with my two kids when I have the time. We go through school work together and the day's activities. My work is way flexible and gives me the opportunity. I have no maid to depend on, it's just me and them. I'm grateful.
Life has become too materialistic so have people too including children. While that may be on the material side, one has to see to it that they as parents spend quality time with their children. Each stage of life comes once and the same has to be spent with children with all the time and attention it deserves.
We also should remember that children learn behavior from their parents and if they find their parents not giving them the time they are supposed to be giving they will grow up thinking that this is how they should behave when they grow as adults and behave the same way with their parents. The parents who are well meaning and are slogging hard for their kids future fail to understand or see this and when this reverse action takes place are confused as to why their own are behaving with them like this despite they slogging and giving them a good life.
You are so right about life becoming too materialistic. Parents are the major problem, all they want are their needs. We always want more and I wonder why. Being content is the ultimate goal for any sane being. I have all the time in the world to spend with my kids, I was done with maids years ago, my kids do the household chores with me, I bake with my daughter when she's home. The love for money is breaking a lot of homes, most times the dads are never around, so that leaves just the mothers. If I ever decide to chase this money, I know my kids are finished.
