Several valuable lessons coincide with having two working parents. When I tell people that I have two working parents, their responses are always negative and along the lines of, "oh, so you don't spend a lot of time with your parents?" However, they do not take time to look at the bigger picture and evaluate the situation. Although there are some negative aspects of having two working parents, the benefits of this situation outweigh the bad. The major lessons I've learned throughout my life, in regards to having two working parents, are dedication, balance, work ethic, and family first.
