He would leave the home at 7 AM and she at 8 AM, for going to their office. She would comeback at 4 PM, and he would never return before 10 PM. Their pre-teen child would spend the whole day in one of their neighbor's house, listening to their curse, targeted at her for intruding into their privacy.
She grew up lonely, burdened with the loads of being unwanted; she grew up longing for love and care, that she never received; she grew up with a thought of revenge, to make others as lonely as she was; she grew up into a beautiful woman, with no sign of genuine femininity!
That in fact, is the story of most of the children who grow up in a family where both the parents are working, busy making money -- leaving their children on their own, or at others' mercy.
Lack of attention, love and care that a child need to evolve into an emotionally healthy adult, eventually cost that child the right to live a normal life as an adult.
For God's sake, never let your child grow feeling alone and unwanted. Because, it sets off a chain reaction of destruction that affects hundreds from down the generations.
I suggest:
1. Father or mother, one of you must stay back at home and look after your child to offer her/him that critical mental support.
2. Or get some elderly person to stay at home: your parents, or partner's. But, never leave your child alone - without an affectionate attendant - until she/he becomes 10 years old.
Build up your career and/or make money, but never at the cost your child living a devastated life forever.
Choice is yours: career, or your child; whom you love more?
