2AS – L 2020/2021 FIRST TERM TEST O2 Family life is emotionally becoming poorer and poorer at present .With me, and often both parents working outside and eating meals in a work canteen, the family meal has began to disappear although it has been the symbol of mutual affection.

Personal relationships between members of the family are getting more superficial as everybody always going somewhere or doing something. Some children see so little of their parents; it seems a particular lack that they see so little of their mothers. They eat a meal at the school refectory. When they return from school, there is no one to greet them. They eat quick meal in the empty house before going to play in the street until bedtime.

Their mothers, even during the time they spend at home, have to get their housework done. Such activities cause confused changes in the family relationships. When they aren’t working in or out of the house, the mothers are too tired to play the role of the loving mother very patiently or for very long. This doesn’t mean that these children are neglected materially. They are better dressed for school than were their parents as children and are very well fed, indeed. But material comfort is not sufficient. What the children loses is the emotional benefits from his home: love, warmth and security.
