REASONS FOR WORKING LONG HOURS:

There are four main reasons why parents works long hours:i. The requirements of the job (including

completing the tasks involved, having a high workload, and customer demands)

ii. The need for a greater income (both maintaining a basic standard of living, and being able to afford “extras”)

iii. The pressure of workplace and industry culture

iv. To a lesser extent, to earn the more intangible rewards of work

THE BENEFITS OF WORKING HARD:(ADVANTAGES)

The benefits of parents working too hard for them are :-

i. 1. Good Impact on academics: If parents work too hard for their children

might get good education.

ii. 2. Bright future:- If children are getting good education, they may have a

bright future.

iii. 3. Good food: If the parents work hard and have a very good source of

income then the child can get good food.

iv. 4. Good clothes: If the parents work hard and have a very good source of

DISADVANTAGES:

Some of the disadvantages of parents working

too hard are:

i. The child gets to hang out with people other

than the family.

ii. When parents work hard they spend less

time with their children. Thus, the child may

be parted away from their parents and they

may think that their parents are not spending

too much time with them

CONT.

v. Sometimes parents do not have enough time to teach their children. As a

result the child may have no manners and the child may become irresponsible.

vi. Most of the time parents have high expectations about their children and if

they cannot fulfill their wishes the children are punished.

vii. When parents are in office, doing their work the children may be home

alone and sometimes the parents are least bothered about their children’s

safety.

viii. Sometimes parents may have some arguments regarding their work and

they may have some conflicts. It can result in divorce. After the parents are

separated the child becomes lonely and then he/she may become spoiled and

the child makes no friends.

THE FIVE THINGS MANY PARENTS GIVE UP TO ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL WORK-LIFE BALANCE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN:

Here are the five things many parents give up to achieve a successful work -life balance

for themselves and their children:

1. Their Pride About Asking for Help

Even in today’s world, it takes a village to raise a child. Asking for help requires

humility, but seeking support can be one of the biggest keys to success. This is

especially true for single parents. Successful parents don’t necessarily depend on

others, but are often willing to trade favors. When parents arrange for assistance that

ensures their kids are being cared for, they’re able to be more productive at work.

2. The Belief That They Need to Split Their Time Equally

Achieving a balance between career and children doesn’t necessarily mean the time is

split evenly. Successful parents understand that there will be times when their family

will need more attention and times when a career will demand more energy.

CONT.

3. The Idea That They Have to Neglect Themselves

There’s a reason why airlines say that in the event of an emergency you should

put your oxygen mask on first, before assisting anyone else. If we don’t take

care of yourself first, we won’t have anything left to give. When we’re feeling

overtired and stretched too thin, it may seem beyond our understanding to

squeeze in a little “me time.” But, the fact is, those times when we feel like we

can’t possibly spare a minute for ourselves, are likely the times when we need

“me time” the most. Successful parents know that taking care of themselves

helps their efficiency and productivity over the long-term. Although it’s

important to get plenty of sleep and relaxation, exercise may be even more

important.

CONCLUSION:

At the end of the day, parents who work too

hard also needs to spend a good amount of

time with their children. There are many

benefits and disadvantages of parents

working hard. One of the disadvantage is

that the child gets to hang out with other

people than their family and the child may

not feel comfortable with their families and

one of the benefit is that the child gets good

education and they may have a bright future

and achieve a lot of success. Parents should

work hard, in my opinion but they should

also spend a good quality of time with their

children and family.
