The smartest trick the Devil ever played, was popularizing the idea of "quality time". Like, how idiotic do you have to be, to think you can cram valuable time with your children into time slots? As if "being a mom" can be planned into your day like it's a teleconference?
Oh, we are going to have 15 minutes of quality time, now, kids, and then Mommy has important worksheets to fill out. βΊοΈ
yeah, it's not quality without the end being bedtime
I just know that I will never lie on my deathbed and think, "Wow, I wish I had dumped my kids in the childcare center and spent more time at the office."
Exactly.
I'd stay with my kids no matter what, but the Mom who was always there for her kids will find her kids at her deathbed. The Mom that didn't have time for her kids will find that her kids don't have time to visit her on her deathbed.
