Let me start with my own story.

I was just 1 month old when my father went to Dubai for work. Since then I have been raised by my mother alone. She become my mother my father my teacher and my best friend. She took care of me in every way. She solve all my problems protected me and supporting me every step of my life.

My father did not live with us. He staying in Dubai for many years and return to Pakistan just recently. I am now 18 years old and when I met him again it feel strange. We don’t talk much. There is a communication gap between us. I cannot talk to him easily on the phone or send him a messages. It feels like we are strangers.

My View on the Debate

In many families people think that only the mother is responsible for a child’s education. But is that fair?

In my life my mother took full care of my education. She was the one who help me with home work took me to school and guiding me when I were confused. She was always there when I needed emotional support or advice. She worked hard all day and still gave time to me.

My father on the other hand never helped with my studies. He sent money from abroad but he were never present in my life. Some people think this is enough but I don’t agree. A child does not only needed money. A child needs love attention and guidance from both parents.

Education is More Than School

Education is not just going to school or learning from books. A child learns from the people around them. If a child grows up seeing only one parent helping and the other staying away the child can feel un important or unloved by the absent parent.

Fathers should understand that emotional support is also important. Talking to your child listening to them asking how their school is going praising their hard work these small things can make a big difference.

When a child gets love and time from both parents they grow up with more confidence and batter emotional health. But when only one parent is responsible for everything it becomes very difficult.

I have seen my mother struggle but she never gave up. She never showed how tired or lonely she was. But I know it was not easy. She deserved help support and rest too.

My Honest Opinion

I believe that both parents should be responsible for their child’s education. A father should not just say “I earn the money that enough.” He must also spend time with his child help with studies and build a strong bond.

If only the mother does everything the child may grew up with a strong relationship with her but a weak or broken bond with the father. This is what happen to me.

Even now I don’t feel close to my father. I don’t know how to speak to him freely. I don’t have memories with him. And that a loss I feel deeply in my heart.
