RE: Spare One To Save The Other | Neoxian City : Writing Prompt: #4

This story is chilling in many ways. The parent focused on the the necessary financial needs of the family but not on the emotional, social, spiritual etc. This could happen in many families as survival is important. Despite that having children comes with responsibilities. The parents were careless as they did not consider family planning. Child care is so much more than food in stomachs and a roof over the head. Since that was the main focus - Emily and the younger children missed out on the guidance and discipline required to develop children to become well-rounded adults later.

Hello @momogrow. Yes, it is a chilling aspect of parents' lives. In order to provide for their children, they make sacrifices. Sometimes the jobs they are able to secure take them away from their children and their responsibilities to them in the child-parent relationship. Either they are too tired after work, or not capable of handling the needs of their children. I have seen this scenario play out in families with multiple children. One almost invariably gets lost in the shuffle.
You are correct. Rearing children is much more than providing Mazlow's basic hierarchy of needs.
Thanks so much for your visit. I appreciate your engagement and support.
Take care.
