[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it seems like whenever I try an plan something "special" whether it's a date night or a special outing/event for the family, something always goes wrong.  The pressure to "have fun" or "make it special" feels so artificial and forced.  We are all different, but speaking only for myself, I can't creat quality on demand.  Oh, and the woman who loves it all, even the hard stuff, is lying.  Or a complete fake.  I think she is probably a complete fake.  It's probably my sister in law.  She is a total fake. [/quote]

I don't think people are saying that they can totally plan out quality time. But, this study was about older kids and not babies and toddlers. Most kids are in preschool and as they get older, school for a good portion of the week. Then many do some activities on their own that there parents may be involved in, but mostly the point of those activities are for the kids to go out and get exposed to something and spend time with people etc. outside their family. So the point is, whether you work or stay home, as kids get older everyone will have to schedule quality time.

I find it interesting that this thread is totally about working or staying home, when the study mentioned this but wasn't really about working vs. staying home. [/quote]
