[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't consider an hour at tr bounce house quality time. Being around to have a conversation with my kid about a problem they are having or answering a hard question or helping them to learn a new skill - that I consider quality time.  [/quote]

So taking a child to an enjoyable, shared experience isn't quality time?  What if I take my kid to the beach?  Fishing?  A water park?  Disney?

I'm curious how old your kids are because if having a conversation is a requisite for quality time, you can write off ages 12-15 right now. [/quote]

Really?  My 12-15 y.o. kids are always happy to have a conversation with us.  Must be because they grew up knowing we were available for them whenever they needed us and not just "quality time appointments" penciled in on the calendar at their parents' convenience.  [/quote]

So perhaps it has nothing to do with whether you work or stay home, cause my mom was a SAHM and I was a real peach to talk to in the middle-high school years!  As in, I asked her to stop asking me so many questions and put "Do not disturb" signs on my bedroom door.  Ha![/quote]
