Q & Q Time

I have heard from so many people, men and women, saying 'Though we can't spend much time with our kids because of our jobs, we spend QUALITY time with them!'

I have even read in the women's magazines that some couples claim that they can't spend much time with each other, so they spend QUALITY time with each other.

So, what is actually wrong?? Isn't spending quality time important?

Well, I am not saying that spending quality time is bad. My point is that, does your one month old child or even older children know what is quality time? Does he or she understand what is quality time? I can tell you. The answer is definately a NO! Children need our attention. They need our TIME, and in fact, so much of our time. To many children, if not all, what they actually know is QUANTITY time and not QUALITY time!

As a couple, as husband and wife, do you actually, seriously, truthfully think that quality time is all you need?? If that is the case, men and women can just happily get married, and leave for different paths the next day after the wedding for they have spent, as it were, the quality time together on the wedding day, and they do not need quantity time to be together any more.

If quality time is so much more important than quantity time, then all the teachers will be the first ones to shout hooray! For teachers will only go to school, teach for a solid few minutes and then go home. They have done their great job in the quality time! Do you agree to this if you're not a teacher?

Yes, yes, I know... My examples are too extreme. But are you clear with the concept I was talking about?

In short, spending quantity time with our love ones is so crucial that only through quantity time, comes quality time. You get it??
