Some people
might say that raising children these days is easier compared to the past.
However, in my opinion, it is rather difficult for parents nowadays to support
their children for two reasons. First, parent at today have rarely time to be
with their children since they have to earn money. Second, it is required for
today’s children to learn more education than children in the past so that
parents living in today have financial pressure.
To start with,
in an attempt to make a living, parents nowadays have to work hard and thus
they do not have enough time to talk and play with their children. To be
specific, parents spend most of their time on working in the office so that
their opportunities to develop the relationship with their children decrease.
Thus, they have a serious problem bringing up the children than the past. For example,
I will talk about myself and my parents to elucidate my point. When I was
young, my parents always had to work for supporting my family and our
relationship naturally got worsen. In even holidays, my father occasionally
went to his company to complete his tasks. My parents sometimes said to me
sorry for not take care for me well and this unfavorable relationship continued
until I graduating college when I understood my parent situation.
On top of that,
meeting up with social demands in the present days, children are required to
receive higher quality of education. In other words, parents have to invest a
significant amount of money for their children and thus, parents have a lot of
pressure not only mentally but also physically. For instance, I will take my
country Korea as an example. In the past, a minority of children received
private educations, but now it is different. Almost every child goes to the
academy for additional study. Those activities costs a lot and it frequently
causes economic predicament for parents. Therefore, some parents today
eventually have to take out a loan. This is the example that demonstrates the
hardship of today’s parents.
To sum up, there
are a lot of burden to parent in order to raise their children considering two
facts. First, there are many parents not having sufficient time with their kids
in the current days. Also, educating their children at present requires diverse
educations so it gives a lot of burden to parents. In this regard, I believe
that raising children became more difficult than before.
