Why are working parents blamed??

Why are working parents always blamed for not spending enough time with their children or leaving children with nannies..etc etc.Over the years,bashing working parents have become fashion which I still dont understand why.More or Less,parents works for a better lifestyle for whole family and to make savings for children's future..Would it be good if anyone of them sit with kids,caring them but with not-so-good lifestyle quality??

The issue here is a working mother, not working parents, as you put it. 😳 Regardless, if child goes wrong, you need to blame it on someone. It's easy to shift the blame on parents. But the right kind of parenting doesn't need mothers and fathers to hover over their children. They work, they should. A few years down the line, a housewife will become a nonentity because they would need as many family members as possible to contribute to its income. Working parents, are hence, inevitable. The right amount of communication between the parents and children is required. The child can be neglected even if one parent doesn't work a job. And a child may push their mother away even if she's ready to give them practically all her time.

Really? My parents have always worked. In fact, to top it off, we were all sent off to boarding schools at a very young age. I think I turned out fine, so did my siblings.😆 I don't blame them at all nor would I blame other parents. Just because you become parents does not mean you have to lose sight of your career goals and individuality. It is perfectly alright as well as plausible to maintain work and home. This applies to both men and women. The onus of balancing both shouldn't just be placed on the woman. And there is no harm in seeking help if you can afford to, as long as you instill appropriate morals and values into your kids through whatever means (nannies, parenting, grand-parenting, boarding school etc). I really don't think people should be put down for following their career paths. You work so hard to get through school, college, university, entrance exams, standardized tests, etc. Why should anyone be expected to throw all of that away or put it on hold just because they become parents? Temporary hold is even understandable but to sacrifice your entire identity, that's extreme and unnecessary.

...Blame the working parents, Non working parents, Parents who have no children

No children then they are not parents
...Everyone ...Just be candid as you blame ..don't let anyone have that left out feeling ..😆

Now don't be surprised if I blame ya for making a few people here think and scratch their heads like that girl in your DP
The girl in my dp isn't scratching her head😆
..Or if someone blames that girl in your DP for being purdy ..
That will be compliment..no??

.😆 ...Just blame blame blame ..that's the name of the game ...you see..😆


On a serious note: ..I don't think the lifestyle has got anything to do with how the future of the children might shape up ...Or would ya like to demur here or just blame me for something ..May be ? ..
I think lifestyle has a huge impact to children's future...as the way of upbringing and luxury impacts on nature of a person.But here am talking about that most of the times working parents are portrayed in wrong light that they don't care for children much which I think is wrong.😛

Vintu...😛

Agreed --its usually working mothers which are blamed and its totally unfair. Afterall they work to contribute to family income and also pursue career goals. And its no easy task to manage work/office and parenting responsibilities at the same time. - I think may be in cases where nannies or caretakers/guardians don't do a good job --the child suffers and its easier to blame parents --for not spending enough time or instilling right morals.

May be, I think children need mothers more during pre-school days but after that, I don't see any reason why parents, both mom and dad , should stay at home. They should of course work and contribute to family income ---which is usually utilized for kids education and well being / - --
