Parent on Vacation

[playfelt]

It's quality in the sense that the parent picks up the child who hasn't seen the parent all day, gets home and says ok kid go watch tv or play by yourself or here's my iphone while I go change my clothes and make supper and put in a tub of laundry. The other option is child stays at daycare and plays with his friends while mom goes home and changes, puts supper in the oven and a tub of laundry in and then comes and gets the child so that when they get home they have time for a one on one cuddle and chat about the day before supper. Both scenerios take the same amount of time. Which one does do you think is going to seem to the child like they are more loved - the parent that is changing and cooking while they watch tv or the one that picks them up a half hour later but takes them home for special one on one time.
