Why not schedule time within our busy timetables. Make kids your first priority, they do not understand why their parents are not around and they need you to explain it to them. Long ago, it took a whole community to raise a child right. I remember back in the day my mom used to tell me short anecdotes about the neighbors squealed on them when they did something wrong, and how my grandma used to punish them every time she heard a bad report from them, e.g. disrespecting elders, misbehaving on the streets and so on. The kids back then rarely got away with anything.
People are selfish and harsh now.
My grand mother was a single parent, she raise 9 kids, along with the community. When her eyes could not see the neighbors could have. My grandma knew what her kids were doing most of the times. . It all goes back to the family and the morals that exist within it. If you are quick to curse out the neighbor who tells you what wrong your child has done, or you stand idly by whilst the kids are wrecking their lives then who is to blame.
