I think it’s really interesting to hear different perspectives on this topic. For some people, having a full-time working mom or parent can instill a strong work ethic and a sense of independence. They may not have felt upset about their parents working, but instead appreciated the role modeling and the benefits that came from their hard work, like providing for the family.
Others might have felt a bit of resentment or longing for more quality time together, especially during childhood. It’s completely natural to have mixed feelings about this as a kid. But it’s also possible that those feelings evolved over time into gratitude for the sacrifices their parents made.
As for staying close as adults, many find that their relationships with their parents grow stronger as they understand the challenges of balancing work and family life. Ultimately, everyone’s experience is unique, and it can really vary based on family dynamics and individual circumstances. How about you? What are your thoughts on the experiences shared here?
