[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I've SAH and worked part time.  The rub for me is that you can't predetermine what the hours you spend with your child will actually be like.  That is, how can you "plan" for "quality" time?  Usually, the best hours with my kids happen randomly, or during our unscheduled time, or for 30 blissful minutes before someone does a 180 and starts to have a meltdown.  I think it's a BS study.  But I think all of the studies and books are BS.  If you are a researcher or have your PhD in child psychology, I'm sure you will tell me I'm wrong.  But I don't care.  I know my kids and I know that our quality time is totally unpredictable and precious.  Which is why I try to be around them as much as possible. [/quote]

I think you can plan for quality time, the same way you plan a date night with your spouse.  I take my oldest to an interactive kids sport/parent activity every weekend and we always have fun.  There are lots of ways to create quality time with your children.  [/quote]
