My husband and I have been having this debate for a long time. In an average day, how many minutes/hours would you say you spend with your kids playing, on the floor totally engaged, or reading books or at a playground etc, giving them undivided attention?? Just did some googling as we were talking about it breakfast again, and there was a study from Oxford which said that dads spend an average of 32-36 minutes quality time a day (up from 8 minutes in 1975) and mums 51-86 minutes or something (they didn't specify if working or not!) But I'd be really interested to know, in all honesty, how long you spend giving your kids undivided attention. Because I never feel like what I offer is enough, no matter how long I play, our three-year-old will always want more, and then I feel really guilty for getting up and going off to do housework or send an email or even go to the bloody loo!
