10.1. 2.(Danning) Supporting Agument: children are lack of parental monitor and may be affected by harmful elements in the society

11. 3.(Zhi Yi) Opposing argument: Children whose both parents are working will become more independent than children who has at least a parent at home to take care of them.

12. Example: If both parents are working, then the child will have to settle his own meals and also have to help with housework as both parents are busy with work.

13. Elaboration: Since there is approximately double the income earned as compared to having one working parent, the children will get to enjoy benefits as far as money is concerned.

14. Example: This includes ease of payment of tuition/school fees and the presence of a conducive studying environment at home in the form of a study room with proper furniture. Furthermore, in the case one parent falls ill, there will be less of a financial burden compared to when the sole breadwinner of a family does so, as there is another income earner and probably savings from the dual-income family.

15. Reiteration: Since the child is able to lead a good life with a high standard of living due to stability of the income of the family, he does not suffer from the working of both his parents.

16. Conclusion: Children always suffer when both parents work.
