Should mother spend quality time with Childrens ?? or Quantity time

I think it should be quality time. The time when you can feel as mother and child. And have bonding together. If you are there almost all time but you are not talking with your child then it just useless.

If you need to work (for whatever reason) than you need to work. But your daughter also needs you, so you should make sure that you spend time with her and teach her and show her you love spending time with her too. We all need our own needs met, so don't feel guilty about needing time for yourself.

yes you should try and spend as much time with your child while you can because she will grow up so fast! i don't think you should quit your work tho, maybe get part time hours because it's good to have a job too as you can meet new people and then when your home you can spend time with your daughter! im a stay at home mum full time but i will be getting a job asap, i need to spend a little time out of home and have a break but i do need to spend time at home too with my daughter so i will just be going for a part time job at the moment until she goes to nursery! good luck on what you decide to do! :O)

I think both are important. Remember this even though you work you can still have both, Sitting down and reading to your child, playing games, singing songs, bathtime, playing in the park. These types of things are both quality and quanity. Even at her age she is not going to want to be with just only you she will want to play with her toys and even other kids, and she should be able to do that to. It bring's out the creative side and helps her cope and deal with others as she grows. Good Luck!

I think quality of time is most important but a good quanity of is would be good to. Children need constant supervision and I try to have as much of that with me as possible. There is time I could be a better mother though. I should read more stories and spend less time online.

I have heard before that mother must spend time as much as possible... Because it's good for your child..

what ever you choose you are the one that has to live with it. i am all for staying at home and believe me you will find that you can grow just as much at home just not it the way you would working. and the time you have with your child is wounderful and cant be gotten back when lost. i quite working when i had my first child. but at times i miss working. but that was my choose. do what is right for you, your family and most importantly your child.

Well, if you can successfully provide financially for you and your child, without having to work, then I would say, stay at home with your child. I think it's important for the child to have the mother around, to take care of them and to nurture them. It's important to spend quality time with your children.

do you think the time which you will spend with her wont be the quality time... it will be definitely.. look i request you give your child as much time as you can..i have myself experienced how bad an helpless one feels when parents do not spend time with children.. spend as much time as you can spend with her....you yourself say say that you are financially sound then why dont you spend as much time as you can with her.. plz do that...it ill help her a lot in her life..

I think that if you need not work for financial reasons at this time then why are you working? Your daughter will only be this precious age once and you can never get these years back. I think that Quality time is time that you actually spend with your child doing some sort of Activities together! Quantity time to me would be a stay at home mom because then you are devoting all of your time both quality and quantity!

my kind suggestion would be spending both quantity time and quality time with ur sweety , . Bcoz there is no substitute for mother's love in this world . You should spend quantity time with ur little girl atleast untill the age of ten years. Though u spend quality time , there can be no one who can pour love to ur babee , than u . i think u got it . yupp , have a great day.

If I were you, while my kids are young, I will spend a lot of time with them. I want to see them grow because once they're grown, they will have their own lives and will be too busy to be with me.

I think you should quit your job and start working AT home so there for your home with your daughter.. so you both win she gets her mommy and you get to work to grow as a person.

I think when you chose to have a child your chose to change your priorities. Your priority can no longer be to grow yourself as a human. Your responsibility now lays with your daughter. Now your priority can be how to grow her as a human being. You'll be suprised at how much you can grow with her at home. I bet your selflessness and patience will grow.

Both in fact.Quantity time yes when the child is growing and qulaity time when the child has become old enough to take his/her own decisions.

hi there, your welcome, thanks for denoting me best response too! :O)

Hi Swapylcz, I believe that children need both quality and quantity time with them, a bit of both actually but you still have to have time for yourself as well. Well if your financially ok then I would say that it is best to quit your work and concentrate on your daughter until she is around 4 years old as they just grow up far too fast I know this as a fact seeing all my children grow up oh so fast and my mother said, to me that with the last one I needed to stop working and see what I was missing with my other children when they were young and you know what my mother was damn right god bless her. So now I leave it in your hands!!

Quality time is thje minimum time we could spend with our children. If we could give quantity time... that would be best for us mothers, and for them too.

Both.I think all the time that mother gives to her If you have no financial problem, then please don't hurry to look for a job, your daughter is too small and she needs you now. Give her all you time.You can do your job later when she starts going to school etc. But now be with her. Mother's time with children is always quality time, because mother and children are always comfortable in each others company. In fact children always want to be near mothers so that they can get all extra love and pampering from mother ,because there is nothing more precious that sweet words of mother. So I think all time of mother with children is always a quality time. Some working mothers have no choice but to limit the quatity time, but children do understand it.After all she is working to make children more happy by giving them what ever she can give . But those mothers who can stay more with children , should definately stay with them.

I am a mother of 2 kids and a working mom as well. I think as parents we should spend QUALITY time with our children rather than quantity time. Of course, given the chance I would prefer to be with them longer. But we can compensate this during weekends or holiday breaks.
