TOPIC: Balancing Family Emotional Support & Financial Support

Balancing Family Emotional Support & Financial Support 2 years, 9 months ago #1404

When I was growing up I remember my mother (I was virtually raised by a single parent), being home at 4:30pm-5:00pm Monday - Friday. I was left alone (12-15 yrs. old) for about an hour/hour and a half. She would ask me about me day in school and help me with homework.

But today, many, many parents are forced to work swing shifts; rotating shifts; swing & rotating shifts, which leaves a void between children and parents.

In times past employers recognized the importance of family bonding, however today's economy, and greed for "profit-at-all-cost", has caused a weakening of the family bond.

Times have changed - the irony is if employers really look at the stats and evidence, being a family friendly employer actually pays dividends in both output and loyalty...
You might win a match, but you can't match our wins!

United forever!!

Thank you for your comments and I agree with them.

Ronaldo, I especially appreciate your comment. It is a fact that a family friendly employer will reap dividends both in production, quality and loyalty.

I can also appreciate the article that highlighted: Home/remote working.
Whereas modern technology has moved exponentially, what is now possible to do, could not be done 6 months ago.

As we look at the economy for the past 5-10 years, it has become progressively harder to make a living.
In addition to the economy, employers have allowed and/or overlooked harassment (including but not limited to sexual), favortism, unfair disciplinary procedures, unsafe machinery or work practices, racial disparagement, because it did not interfer with company profits.

Unless a person is willing to make changes they will always be in the same set of circumstances.
Often it is a matter of our viewpoint and attitude. It has been said: "Success is...more attitude than aptitude".

From this standpoint, I often wonder why more social networks do not offer programs that promote financial benefits for each member of the group?

I see social networks as a "shopping mall", where each vendor profits or dies on his own ability.
But suppose the shopping mall (the social network) were do profit-sharing with it vendors?

There are many facets aspects to parenting, but certainly providing finacially, emotionally and spiritually for them are key facets. The more time we must spend providing financially, the less time we have to provide for them in the other important areas.
