Working Parents
Working
parents; I hear its tough being a working parent, having to handle both a job
and a child. I don’t even know how my own parents do it. I don’t know much
about it, but let's say it's ten years into the future and I'm married to a
beautiful wife named Jennifer Lawrence. We have two exceptionally good-looking
baby twins named Jack and Zack who are now 14 months old. Jennifer brings home
the "big bucks" and her income alone supports our family, yet I still
work part time outside the home with her because I'm a nice guy, and to make
sure our family is fully supported.
First, I'd
work outside the home along with my wife because I'm a nice guy to be plain. I
wouldn't want her working alone because I'd feel I wasn't helping to contribute
to the family's finance at all. So to be nice I'd work alongside her. And also
to make sure our marriage isn't going down the drain, so by working together we
get to see each other more often and spend some time together.
Second, I work outside of the home along with my wife because I
want to make sure that our family is fully supported financially. I want it so
that if we begin to get into debt after paying for all the babies necessities
or other items we'd hopefully be able to get out without too much trouble. I
know it may seem sad that both parents don’t spend time at home with the
children, but I believe that the kids will be much more grateful later in life
knowing that their parents never had issues of making payment on the rent. And I'm only working part time so at least
the kids could see me more often than not at all.
Now let's say
there's a change of action in our timeline and now my income can fully support
that family, would I have my wife work along with me? My response would be,
it's up to her, but I would think she would want to be the stay at home Mom who
looks after the kid the way traditional motherhood is done. If though both my wife and I stayed in work and both our incomes
were letting the family live very comfortably, then I would not hesitate to
send my children to daycare or child care center of some sort; probably one
that was nice, and had a good adviser who was not a wacko or on drugs or
something like that. I'd do this because I wouldn't just leave my children at
home by themselves, that's like illegal! I'd want them to be safe and without
harm, so I'd get them the best, and hope it'd suffice. If we were living on
poverty though I'd just stand strong in my job, marriage and family until we pushed
through the trial, hoping God was on my side.
In the end, I
would work alongside my wife even if her income alone helped support our
family. Why? Well to be nice, and to support our family financially just in
case of unexpected risks. If my income alone supported all our needs then I
would let my wife decide for herself if she wanted to continue working, but I
figure that she would spend time with the children, and leave her job. I would
just have our twins stay with a daycare facility if Jennifer and me still
worked. If we were living in poverty though, I'd just try my best to keep my
family together and happy. Being a working parent is tough, but that's what
would make life all much more fun.
