How much time you spent with your child

We may not be able to have everything in the world that money could buy but I am sure we can give our children our love and the most memorable childhood, one that they can hopefully remember for many years to come if only we remind ourselves that life ain't just about the rat race.

Like I usually say, the gift of love is spelt as T.I.M.E.

Work hard so play hard. The choice is yours to make. Quit whining about how children these days lack a childhood when you don't have time to offer them that gift of love.

Give yourself and your children some balance in life.

Regardless if your children are doing PSLE this year or not. No excuse.

Lovely post :rahrah:
So true are those words in bold. I am guilty cos I was plain lazy.
Now that DS has gone Sec1, all of a sudden he seems so 'independent' & busy with his own life. I need to do more :love: Thanks for the timely reminder.

Agree! :goodpost:

As both my partner and I work daily, with normal office hours, it’s hard to even think about the number of hours not being able to see them or talk to them personally face-to-face, so the hours after work and weekends are all spent almost with them.

Has any of you read the comprehension passage of this child who wants to buy her father’s time? It moved me to tears bcos the father is such a busy person and has no time to face the child. He even scolded her for asking him so many questions…until she wanted to ‘buy’ his attention.


The tragic accident of the 2 brothers made me appreciate my kids even more. They make LOTS of noise after school and after half a day of complete peace, their endless chatter does drive me nuts on days i feel lousy, but if they keep very quiet and sit in one corner, that would be very worrying.
So, if we want kids, we have to be prepared for the joy and headaches they bring…if not, don’t give birth.

Its really hard when you're a single mom and i really have to work hard for her. Sometimes my schedule didn't match to her schedule but i do still exert an effort to see or talk w/ her.. She never complains why I cant, why I cant be,.. i really love how she understands our situation She's more mature than me.. :))

Definitely enough time to hug, kiss and say "I love you" daily to my child and in return the child will do the same back to me. Tuck my child to sleep and kiss good nite. Sometimes my child will do that for me if I fell asleep while reading bedtime stories to her.

Truth be told, I am more worried about ‘how much time do you divide to spend a fair time with each child’. Juggling 3 children, business, time for each kid, time for husband has been taking a toll on me lately
