I always get uncomfortab;e about the term "quality time", with its implication that what kids need is parents who just occasaionlly drop everything else and for a measured time concentrrate their attention on being with them, and that this makes up for not being there the rest of the time.

I don't mean that it isn't a good thing to do that - but what kids really need as well, and probably need more, I'd say, is "non-quality time", where parents are around and available doing stuff in the background, so to speak.
