Working Together

In past years husbands and wives worked side-by-side with their children and as such there was little separation of work and play. The two were very much intertwined. But over time work, home and "work out" have all separated, instead of all happening at the same time. I find this division very fascinating because of its effects on the family.Husbands and wives used to work together all day. Their home was their lively hood and source of income. Now fathers and sometimes even mothers go off to work and young children are left in the care of others. I believe that because of this change in "work", families are communicating and working together less. I feel that sometimes both parents can get so caught up in their own "jobs", that parents are starting to forget their jobs as parents and teachers to their children.
