Yup - I totally agree with you. I think I misinterpreted what you meant - parents definitely need to spend more time with their children...just as long as that extra time doesn't also equate to extra money spent on them.

it'd be nice to have two, maybe three kids, but if that prince in Nigeria doesn't end up wiring the money he says he's giving me, then it looks like junior will have to make do with his imaginary friends
